Footballing Fattys

[67splitscreen]

I went to school his dad.

My nomination is Jimmy Fryatt, late 1960s Rovers centre forward who had the build of a Dorset farmer complete with sideburns and bald head.

Gets my vote, certainly in the Blue and White, Adam Blacklaw was no bean pole either.

Fryatt could certainly put a dent in the ball though and that was with his head.

Ronny Hildersley. He must have had the fattest legs in football from what I recall.

Pancho in 2001 at Edgeley park.

With hands like that maybe he should have been a goalie.

Non of them even come close to Billy "Fatty" Foulke !! who was 6ft 4" and weighed in at 24 Stone, played over 300 Games for Sheffield United and Chelsea in the 1900's

Check him out on Wikipedia !!

Also I remember David Ginola at Villa, he took his shirt off to celebrate a goal and surprisingly his managers reaction was to tell him he needed to lose weight.

Wasnt it that John Gregory told Ginola to lose weight, and he whipped his top off to show that he didnt need to?

How Ronaldo allowed himself to go from this,

(Lightning fast goal-scorer and overall footballing God)

to this,

(Over-indulged, pampered 'galactico')

will forever be beyond me.

He may be a tad over weight but he carries it off well. That's a good look that.
