Chunky Footballers

[Brownstuff]

Was watching the Football League show last night and Jon Parkin also known as The Beast scored a cracking goal for Cardiff.
Brought back memories of a couple of my favourite players also being on the chunky side, Jan Molby and Matt Le Tissier but both being great players.
Any others that have probably eaten one too many pies but knew how to find the back of the onion bag?

Micky Quinn and Neville Southall (a goalie admittedly)

Neil Shipperley.
Neil 'Razor' Ruddock.
Adebayo Akinfenwa.
Benni McCarthy.

Was it Shipperley of whom there was that real FAT photo?

Yep. It was taken a couple of years after he retired, playing in a charity match.

I'm sure somebody could find that photo. He is/was f***ing huge!

Where was the one of him once he'd retired when he'd let himself go?

Not forgetting our own Bobby Smith, and Alex Dawson ("The Black Prince" to Preston fans, but re-branded "The Black Pudding" when he moved to Bury, before coming to us?.
