Former Marseille player eats a rat on live radio after losing Cesar Azpilicueta bet

Before joining Chelsea, Cesar "just call me Dave" Azpilicueta played two trophy-strewn seasons with Marseille.

According to our friends at 101GG, when Dave arrived in France, OM president Jean-Claude Dassier declared him to be "the future right full back of the Spanish national team". On RMC the French sports radio station that previously brought you overt sexism former Marseille left-back and current radio personality ric Di Meco disagreed, saying "if that happens, I'll eat a rat."

Lo and behold, Dave has become a regular at Chelsea and made his full Spain debut in February, setting in motion his inevitable succession to 30-year-old Alvaro Arbeloa in the national team.

Di Meco kept true to his word and dined on a coypu a type of river rat live on air on Monday. It may not be much of a stretch for a native of a country that eats frogs, snails and horses out of choice, but his decision to quite literally make a meal of it with a glass of red wine and some sliced apples shows impressive commitment to the stunt.
