Former Bristol City striker Soren Andersen has shared his theory over why Burnley boss Sean Dyche has such a gravelly voice.
The two played together at Ashton Gate during the 1998-99 campaign and Andersen has revealed some less than pleasant information about his former team-mate.
Talking on a Danish podcast called Fodboldministeriet, the 47-year-old said: 'Maybe the voice comes from eating rainworms (the Danish term for earthworms), because every time we trained, he used to eat rainworms.

Former team-mate Soren Andersen claims it is because the Englishman eats worms
'Yes, he did. It was horrible, I've never experienced anything like it. It was like: "Whoops, there's a rainworm," and then he ate it.
'It was a bit disgusting and very strange. He was a good player, and I enjoyed being around him, but the thing with the worms was really strange.
'There was always these worms around, and everybody always commented on it as being disgusting and complained a bit, so I think maybe it was as a kind of a provocation, and to show us that it wasn't something, we should focus on or care about, he just ate one or two.'
Dyche, a centre half during his playing career, spent two seasons at Bristol City before having spells with Milwall, Watford and Northampton Town.
