Revealed: Eden Hazard stopped from purchasing food from a burger truck near Stamford Bridge by Chelsea

According to reports, Chelsea ordered one burger van to stop selling to their star player while he was a player at the club.

Eden Hazard, a legend of the Blues, was a regular customer of the nearby burger seller during his playing days at Chelsea.

The Belgian forward preferred some stodge over a salad in between games with his diet not as healthy as that of other football players.

Chelsea had to place a restriction on a burger truck around Stamford Bridge due to Hazard’s constantly patronising the truck.

According to the reports, Hazard, who announced his retirement from football on Tuesday, was such a frequent visitor to one location that Chelsea was forced to intervene.

The Blues allegedly became concerned about the winger's eating habits which they felt could affect his game according to reports from Daily Star.

The Telegraph's Matt Law recently made an appearance on the London Is Blue podcast, where he revealed that “In Eden Hazard’s first season at Chelsea, there was a burger van near Stamford Bridge. The club had to tell the owners to stop selling burgers to Hazard.”

Hazard has a history of having a reputation for being rather slack about upholding his standards in between games.

The two-time Premier League winner has been described as "the laziest footballer he's ever seen" by former teammate John Obi Mikel.

Jose Mourinho, his former manager hailed the player's rapid advancements after joining Chelsea but also called him "one of the worst trainers."

However, It is also well known that Hazard had a talent for turning it on and generating magical moments when it counted most. 

Meanwhile, Hazard will be remembered for a very long time at Stamford Bridge as a modern legend, despite ending his career with a disappointing stint at Real Madrid.
