Ben Stokes Used Headingley 2019 Ashes Test as Excuse for McDonald’s | Eater London

"After the Headingley victory the players celebrated with an impromptu drive-thru stop, buying roughly £55 worth of fast-food including Quarter Pounders and Filet-O-Fish tossed about in the car — a lighthearted snapshot of how elite athletes sometimes reach for comfort food after big moments. The anecdote sits alongside other famous athlete fast-food stories, such as the sprint champion who reportedly carb-loaded on chicken nuggets (allegedly 100 a day for ten days during the 2008 Beijing Olympics), highlighting the chain's recurring role in sports rituals and post-match celebrations." - Adam Coghlan
