Fat footballers

[Gritt23]

Neil Ruddock was a big fella most of his career, but by the time he got to Swindon, he was absolutely huge. Then I saw him doing the Cup draw the other week, and he's still getting bigger.

Can't believe this has got to page two without a mention of the great Warren Aspinall. It has to be said, he wasn't at his slimmest when he finished with us.

Very true

 

[Durlston]

Lee Trundle of Swansea.

Wasn't he going out with Liz McClarnon from Atomic Kitten? Fit, brilliant cook, can sing. Purrrfect.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Grant Holt

 

[Bobby's Gull]

Hmm, lovely.

The fatest to have graced Withdean, is without shadow of a doubt, Adebayo Akinfenwa.

 

[Norman Potting]

Not at Withdean, but am I right in thinking that Micky Quinn got a first half hat trick against us at the Goldstone, which soon silenced the "who ate all the pies" chants. Anyone remember this or am I deluded, can't find a stats page for him online.

I remember him getting a hat-trick but don't remember them being all in the first half. He was a real fattie though

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.

Wonderful pic - relax girls, he's already taken!

Thought it funny on Saturday when some wag from C block shouted out when their fatty no 3 stood 10 yards away from one of our free kicks said ' No 3 are you trying to be a two man wall'

Who in turn was outdone by Kevin McLeod (McLard).

Jan Molby captained the famous Fat Scousers team. OK he might have been born Danish but he was every expanding inch a scouser.
Ruddock, whose huge gut at Swindon was a thing of beauty, was ineligible for the team despite playing for the Reds.

Maradona is surely worth a mention.
Palarse had a fat drunk called Phil Holder in the 70s who prepared the Thursday before a 6th Round FA Cup game by getting legless with his team mates at Sherry's in Brighton.

 

[Scotty Mac]

akinfenwa is something else

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Any one remember the pub goalkeeper who stood in for one game at Doncaster against us in the first season at Gillingham? He was fat, short, and useless, prompting people to joke about him coming from the local pub team. Strangely this turned out to be the case.

Wasn't he the crooked chairman's (Donny's not ours) next door neighbour and he played in that one game only?

Have to agree with this. He's got the biggest chest I've ever seen on a human
