William 'Fatty' FoulkeView attachment 104568

Probably a genuine brilliant footballer before athletism made it imperative that footballers were a lot more fit

I remember Jardel rocking up to Bolton looking like he had eaten Mr Blobby

Bobby Murdoch had a fair few clem on him when he was with us.

Played 299 games for Sheffield United so must have been pretty good. Also played four games of cricket for Derbyshire. Rumoured to have reached 24 stone towards the end of his career, according to Wikipedia anyway

Lest we forget big John Parkin.

Always used to find the "Fat Frank" thing for Lampard weird considering he looked like this

No mention of Pollock in his Palace days?

Francis Lee in the last few years of his career. He dived even more than Shearer did (and that’s saying something) and latterly when he hit the deck he made in indent on the pitch.

Serge Gnabry absolutely looks like a player who's going to get fat when he retires.

Simon Garner was fairly rotund
Ted McMinn was shall we say portly
Andy Reid was a tubby little barrel.
The real Ronaldo's shirts were a little snug
Neville Southall despite his brilliance was 'well built'
Neil Ruddock liked the high life.. mind he's lost what is it 11 stone now?

Yep hes got a fat face, that doesn’t match the rest of him, Casemiro has similar.
