Ronaldo? Andy Reid? A bloated Ronaldinho after a night on the town? Hardly.

Thailand’s top footballers will receive free burgers as part of their new three-year, £545,000 sponsorship deal with the fast food giant McDonald’s.

According to the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), McDonald’s will provide £450,000 in cash and the rest in products in exchange for shirt sponsorship for the next three years, starting this month.

It goes on to tell us Thailand is ranked 110th in the world. That should change once Diego Maradona gobbles up the reigns after South Africa 2010 (to 125th or so).

    £95,000 in products? How many Big Macs per player is that?
