Fatest Player at the Valley

edited January 2008 in General Charlton
Following the mention of peter garland, i was trying to remember other fat boys who either played for us or visited on a saturday afternoon. As a starter, Jan Molby, playing for Barnsley, so fat he rarely moved out of the center circle, but that said was majestic and controlled the game.

Once this thread is done, we could go on to fatest supporters!

    John Barnes, when he signed for us was another that still showed silky skills and an eye for a pass but never moved out of the centre circle. Though, he was 36 at the time.

    Fattest player now.? The player 'sporting the Derek Hales Memorial Beard' (as uttered by the Beeb commentator at the West Brom replay).......step forward Nicky Weaver.

    An obvious one but I remember seeing a very chubby Gazza come on as a sub for Newcastle against us at Selhurst in 1988 and he was different gravy. We were 2-0 up and all over them when he came on (before half-time, I think) and although we ended up holding the lead the bloke dominated. What a player he could have been.

    Jorge Costa wasn't called the Tank for nothing .........


    And back in the late 60's, I remember seeing us beat Oxford Utd 1-0 and a very chubby Ron Atkinson played midfield for them. He was known as the Tank in those days.

    And in the same team was his very skinny beanpole brother, Graham Atkinson. I've seen more fat on a cold chip.

    Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is has to be Ralf Milne. When this guy waddled out onto the pitch as a sub at ShitOut Park it was stunning. You could hear the collective thought "jesus , he has a bigger bear gut then BeerGut Bertty from BeerGut Athletic in the Sunday Beer Gut League". His shirt didnt evenr eally fit over it !!

    After his series of abject, couldn't give a toss displays, culminating in a shrug to those berating him for casually ceding possession that lead to another Arse goal at Sellout (Martin Hayes?), it was comforting to learn that Fatty Milne was voted Fergie's worst ever signing at Utd. Didn't stop the mercenary lump scoring against us though.

    All our old boys score against us Paddy. All of them. Even Kevin Lisbie. And even Ralph Milne.

    One of those unwritten football laws I suppose. Just wondering how many of ours do it to their former employees - Ambrose the most recent that springs to mind.

    I dread to imagine the size Reidy will be when he comes back. All Christmas off, with the family, pickles and nibbles all over the gaff.

    He won't be slim thats for sure

    Stevie Brown was rather large and I remember Robert Lee returning late in his career with an enormous backside. Johnny Oostergaard was also in the brick wall category.

    Scott Houghton. Rather short, dumpy and not very good.
