  • kind of off topic but i'll say again, saw Garland 4 or 5 years ago i think playing for a kent league side and he ran the game, despite weighing more than the other 21 players put together.

    Andy Reid I think just has a large frame, didnt one of the fitness coaches say he actually had the lowest body fat than anyone at the club?

    I'm big boned as well.
  • Harry Cripps
  • Nicola Berti.

    I'm sure i saw him "play" down at Welling one pre-season.

  • If David Whyte had stayed another season he may have ended up 'Garlanded'

  • Fatty Garland, hands down. Such a shame - quality player.
  • Kermorgant at Welling last year was huge. Put on at least 2 stone in the off season.

    I remember thinking the same thing and it took him a while to lose some of it too. Looks like he's kept away from the cuisine a bit better this year - doesn't look so large in the training pictures on the OS.

  • Rob Elliott
  • Going back a bit I remember Cliff Durandt as a tubby little bloke
  • Barnes and 'arry Cripps

    Ha. You win that every time you open your mouth, old fruit. Like shearing a pig, as Vladimir Putin put it. All squeal and no wool!!!
    Essentially he just said "I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I?"
  • Big Fat Pete! Good friends with Slipper / Shirley at one stage.

  • Fatty Elliot should be a strong contender.

    When he dived during that last season with us it was like watching a sack of spuds fall off the back of a lorry..

    Yes I remember him commenting that it was one thing when opposition fans called you fat, but when your own fans, of a club you have supported since a child, call you names, that's when you know its time to leave.

  • Was it Brendan O'Connell, midfielder in late eighties? Looked like he enjoyed a guinness.

    This. I remember an interview where said he said he was drinking 16 cups of tea a day, all with sugar.

  • Barnes & Hasslebank were both huge while playing for us.

    'massive' in size .. unfortunately for all their previous good works, not in performance.. (:->)
  • I remember Andy Jones being loaned out and coming back almost sylph-like. Normal service was soon resumed...!
  • You will know, Big William, that he kept having his room mate's (Gordon Watson) leftovers.
  • Ralphie Milne
  • Nicola Berti.

    I'm sure i saw him "play" down at Welling one pre-season.

    You did, if I'm not mistaken he played a friendly/testimonial midweek in the middle of the season
  • harry cripps and brian kinsley spring to mind
  • If I remember correctly Willy Duff carried a bit of weight.
