LIVE THE GOAL : ‘I did Christmas for Kevin de Bruyne’ – Meet the chef cooking for the stars

In the first part of a new series, meet Jonny Marsh – the chef fuelling some of the world’s top players

“Every chef wants to take over the world,” says Jonny Marsh, who has visited all four corners of it during a career spent cooking for some of football’s leading megastars.

A a former apprentice of the world-renowned Raymond Blanc, Jonny turned his back on the restaurant business to combine his passion for cooking and his love of the game, carving out a career that has seen him prepare meals for John Terry, Paul Pogba, Jordan Pickford, Harry Winks and a whole host of other Premier League stars.

He even prepared Christmas lunch for Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne, who Jonny revealed was “initially adamant he didn’t want a chef.” Four years later, Jonny is still still with him.

Through their LIVE THE GOAL campaign, GOAL STUDIO is celebrating those whose accomplishments were realised by chanelling their passion for football into a business or initiative that links to the wider culture around the game.
