Who is the fattest player to have played at Withdean.

Hartlepool's number 3, Ritchie Humphreys has to be a strong contender for the title. A right fat lump.

Their number 5 was a bit of a porker too.

Scott McGleish must be added to the list of fatties too.

Darren Caskey whilst at Notts County. He has to be considered...

Did Neil Shipperley ever play there? He's the ultimate footballer turned pie man

We had a fatties thread last week, there must be plenty of examples who have graced Withdean on there.

My personal favourites were Neville Southall and Sean Gregan.

Well apparently if you're fat you're not decent at any level. So Rooney, Lambert, Jon Parkin, Brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Andy Reid, Kevin Nolan, Kuqi are all shit.

The ultimate pie consuming footballer of all time -William "Fatty" Foulke.

Fatty Foulke! A legend of a player.

He was known for picking up opposing forwards and throwing them into the net. He once chased a ref into a broom cupboard after a game and had to be restrainged from ripping the door off its hinges.

He's also said to be responsible for the start of ballboys. When he played for Chelsea, they put two small boys behind his goal to make him look even bigger and mor intimidating, they used to fetch the ball sometimes as well and it caught on from there.

He was said to be 24 stone by the end of his playing career.

He died, not surprisingly, of cirrhosis of the liver.

Would like to add Razor Ruddock and Jan Molby to the "Fat" List.

Even David Ginlola was regarded as a tubby at one stage.

Going back many years for the Albion. I think Alan Duffy was a bit of a porker!

Fatso's like McCarthy who can't even be arsed to get in shape for 30k a week or a WORLD CUP his own country is hosting, and yet could apparently come down here and "do a job" for us at this level ?

Yeah, I think on balance we could happily give them a swerve aye ?

It's not always easy to get rid of fat you know, He would be decent in League One fat or not.

Neville Southall was pretty meaty in his one appearance and dare I say Guy Butters?!
