Fat footballers

[PatHead]

Just made it back from Methilnomore. Wife thinks it was an awful long journey!

Anyway their Centre half after half time was enormous, I mean really fat. Did he win the half time draw or something and get to come out and play?

Who is the fattest footballer you have ever seen? I'll start with Andy Ritchie of Morton until today

[CallumLaidlaw]

That centre half was bob Malcolm. I thought Collin Samuel gave him a run for his money

[Hibercelona]

In the SPL. Either John Hartson or Mark Yardley.

Collin Samuel was a big huddy as well.

[LancashireHibby]

Nade.

End of thread.

[sbell1875]

I was there today. I immediately text my Celtic supporting mate saying Bob Malcolm has just came on for East Fife and you can see his overhanging gut through his shirt!

[Hibercelona]

Nade.

End of thread.

The OP is asking for fat "footballers".

I don't think big Nade fits into that category.

(I don't think he fits in anywhere)

[Vault Boy]

Jeroen Verhoeven's a big fella.. :greengrin

I once asked Andrew Considine who was the fattest player he had played against - without hesitation he said John Hartson, he's even tubbier now!

[TomoHFC]

Andy Reid former sunderland player

[HibeeDave]

Stevie Cowan

[JohnStephens91]

Eduardo Hurtado

[jgl07]

Micky Quinn of Newcastle and Coventry is probably the fattest football ever to score goals on a regular basis at the upper levels of English Football.

[Hermit Crab]

Nade was also nae stranger to a steak pie or 3 ;)

[VickMackie]

Phil Reid when he first signed for Sunderland.

[bruno]

Neville southall was always a heavy player who clearly enjoyed food and drink to training

[hibee bouncer]

Charlie Miller!

[easty]

I saw the highlights of Everton v Morecombe from yesterday, I don't know the guys name but the scorer for Morecombe was huge.

[down-the-slope]

Not while playing...

But Ally McCoist is surely been doing a fair bit of 'comfort' eating recently

[Hibee87]

I was there today. I immediately text my Celtic supporting mate saying Bob Malcolm has just came on for East Fife and you can see his overhanging gut through his shirt!

I mind meeting Bob Malcom at T in the Park, 4 year ago i think it was now, he was sitting smoking, drinking and tanned 2 burgers in the 15 min i sat talking to him and his mate nae wonder he's like that now.

Verhoeven is often teased about his size, which is uncharacteristic for a keeper, by opposing fans. In one match against ADO Den Haag during the 2010-11 season, the home supporters showered him with chants of "Pizza!" when he touched the ball.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Centre forward that was playing for Northampton Town last season. Just enormous. Simon Brown was a bit of a bloater as well.

[Hermit Crab]

That was jim Bentley and it was his final game for Morecambe before retiring. That was his testimonial match yesterday. Yes he is a bit of a porker eh

[NorthfieldHibee]

Who is the fattest footballer you have ever seen? I'll start with Andy Ritchie of Morton until today


Got to be John Parkin, I think he plays for fleetwood now, reminds me of Johnny Vegas

[Chuck Rhoades]

Hartson, Stamp, Nade - Didn't Gazza carry a few pounds when he played for Rangers(deceased)?

[Bighoose]

Mark Yardley in a St Mirren strip two sizes too small. Not a pretty sight.

Had great close control though.... the ball would be blasted up to him, hit his gut with a dull thud and then drop dead ,right at his feet.

Pretty sure the strip was the biggest St Mirren had ,no tatties ever fell of his plate ,thats for sure .

[heretoday]

Ally McLeod of Hibs (the 1970s one) as already mentioned. He waddled a bit too. Helluva player for a while.

In the sixties Hibs had a small striker called Stan Vincent who was inclined to fat.

Akinfenwa? Fat is the wrong word, try Tank! :agree:

Oh dear. Mark yardley, model pro.

[jae]

I bet if any of us played 5's with any of the above "fatties" we probably couldn't get the ball off them though.

[Hibs On Tour]

The jannie who played for Broughton High School staff team when I played against them for my school [I was a ringer as I was still a pupil LOL] - tell you what though, boy was the best player on the park by a long country mile and could shift when he wanted to boot! ;)

Professional player? Derek Johnstone surely :) although not in the [far too much] flesh...

[Hibiza]

Our Ally McLeod and lazy to boot.

[lord bunberry]

Alan rough was always carrying a wee bit condition

[PatHead]

Read through the thread and getting a not bad team together by adding a couple of my own

Neville Southhall

John Greig Derek Johnstone Bob Malcolm Jannie from Broughton High School

Stevie Fulton Phil Stamp Charlie Miller

Frannie Lee Micky Quinn John Hartson


There are quite a few squad players waiting in the wings, I mean pie shop, namely Roughie, Robbo, Nade, John Parkin, Mark Yardley, Ally McLeod but we could do with a full back
