Ljungberg
Freddie Ljungberg was left gasping for an ambulance after being struck down ... by a lump of cheese. The Arsenal star made history on Monday as the first star to twice be voted Sweden’s Player of the Year.
But the midfielder, who has an intolerance to the foodstuff, accidentally swallowed some cheese with his meal at a posh Stockholm awards do and was left vomiting into a bin.
He told stunned kitchen staff: “Either I’ll be OK or you’re going to have to call me an ambulance in 40 minutes and take me to hospital.”Luckily, he recovered and travelled with the Sweden squad for their midweek friendly against the Ivory Coast in France.
