midfielder Sam Wood has revealed he was once a body-double – for Barcelona wizard Lionel Messi! It was back in his Non-League days and provided an unusual experience. The former Brentford man, 30, told the BBC: “I did some body doubling for Lionel Messi, inset, in an advert, which not a lot of people know about. “They flew me out to Spain and put me up in a hotel. I did all the stuff and he would come in to do all of the interviews, about 20 yards away. But I’ve also done a few with Cristiano Ronaldo. I think about three adverts.”
