Overweight footballers

After Harry's rant at the weekend about overweight , overpaid footballers it got me thinking of footballers who have made a living out of the game and have been carrying a little bit extra.

John Parkin. Proper derby.

Lee Tomlin at Boro (good player though).

Peter Garland

Andy Reid in his early days, but he has slimmed down massively in recent years.

Yes, hastily overlooked in the Pele Maradona debate

What about that Welling keeper from a couple of seasons ago? He was carrying a bit of extra timber.

Puskas: perhaps the "greatest" of all time!

Jamie Turner...? - He still plays for them

hawksmoor

That's him. Didn't realise he was still there, to be honest.

Neil Ruddock, he of the specially-made shorts.

Gazza and Mick Quinn.

Seem to recall shouting "You fat bastard" at Kevin Pressman when we were beating Sheffield Wednesday in the Cup back in the mid-90's.

Neville Southall always looked like he enjoyed a pie (or six) And what was the name of that overweight Dag & Red keeper?

Swisdom

*fat Paddy Kenny gif*

Mendonca In Asdas

Sorry i read that as Pukkas , not Puskas.

You mean tony Roberts

markmc68

Reidy in his prime. What a player.

Remember us playing Norwich one year and they had a sub that was huge. Got plenty of stick especially when waiting to come on but can't recall the name.

Gary Taylor Fletcher at Leicester at the moment - can't find a picture on my phone!

I think I have a winner: William "Fatty" Foulke. A goalkeeper for Sheff Utd and Chelsea was rumoured to have reached 24 stone by the end of his career.
