With the Toon army followers calling Sol Campbell "fat" wanted to know who you thought where good players but on the chunky side starters Gazza
Also can anyone one remember that Nutter who was chunky that played for us in the mid 90's Darren?

Grant Holt
Lee Trundle
Tom Huddlestone

Bullock

Yeah he kept getting booked and sent off not a bad player though

Ruddock

Micky Quinn,Franny Lee (Ace penalty taker) and best of all John Smith

Molby wins.

Jon Parkin - PNE

And that centre half who i think played for Carlisle who came to our place last year and was impossibly fat for a pro-footballer. Used to play for Lids I believe?

Le Tissier - probably the only man able to put weight on during a game!!

Bullock only ever got one red card for us....slightly less than David Duke.

Wasnt Russell Lewis chunky

Wayne Rooney.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

Sean Gregan of Oldham Athletic is always bloody huge but one of their better players!

Gary Elkins had a massive arse.

Jan Molby

Ferenc Puscas of Hungary in the 1950's- he was way chunky as well.

He's more muscle isn't he?

Not particularly....Ruddock and John Smith are town stand outs.

Smith was a seriously good player, but he liked a drink or 3. He developed a particular taste for scrumpy when down at Torquay. 

Yeh suppose but I remember him saying something in the press a couple of years ago about fat chants !

Thomas Brolin.  Had a piggy face as well.
Jan Molby.

Neil McNab (man city 80's)

Mick Quinn (coventry 90's)

Man United claim he's got only 9% body fat. 

All between the ears, apparently.

tony galvin was a hefty fucker when on loan here.

Ross McLaren. When he 'ran' in the '93 play-off final it looked like he was running in quicksand.

Paul Merson in his later years.

Richard dryden when on loan from southampton was a disgrace

michael johnson form man city has piled a few on since he fell off the face of the earth

Phil Stamp and Stevie Fulton at Hearts were always a little on the large side.

John McGinlay.

Fat and a cunt.

Colin Clarke ex Tranmere and Soton was a fat bastard - the NI forward. Mick Quinn was a classic porker. Molby up at Anfield in the Prem was pure quality - stayed within a 5 yard zone and commanded the game.
For us, the older fans may remember Simon Gibson and our 5-1 home demolition by Rovers - he was a real fat fuck.

also John Robertson of Forest - a quality fat fuck player

ronaldo...(the fat one :-)

I know this thread is about fat footballers, but I'm currently watching the cricket on SS1, and a special mention must go to Mark Cosgrove, who is playing for Glamorgan, as the fattest current professional cricketer.

Cosgrove is ace....there always used to be a few lardarse cricketers, I go back to the legendary Colin Milburn.

Samit Patel tries...

Cosgrove is anorexic next to Dwayne Leverock, my hero and role model

Did nobody mention Neville Southall?

Then there was David Shepherd - the 'Ample Devonian' as John Arlott used to call him.
