But, he's actually not very good at football.

Re. Akinfenwa, apparently he can bench press 180 kilos. I had to convert that to Imperial measurements for it to mean anything. It is 28.3451 stone. Unbelieveable.
He's always guaranteed to get the 'You fat bastard' chants wherever he goes but he's not fat, he's just built like a heavyweight boxer...
And that matters how? He's a footballer, not a heavyweight boxer. Never seen him play (that I remember), but I bet he turns like a fucking aircraft carrier.

Good effort from AFC Wimbledon tonight - thought they deserved a replay!

I'm pretty sure 99% of the people that call Akinfenwa fat know he isn't, he just appears that way because he's fucking massive and the fastest speed I've ever seen him reach is 0-10mph in half in hour
I think he almost broke into a stroll once and that was to take a penalty
Still love the guy though

I'm guessing Aki is a footballer who is into weight lifting? Good luck to him if that's what he wants to do.

But it might mean that he will remain average at both disciplines
A bit like when I combined kickboxing with brain surgery

Don't know about that....Paul Sturrock tried to sign him when he was our manager, and he's an OK judge. AA, was injured or something at the time so the deal fell through

Talented but I'm glad he's not our player, he's clearly not dedicated enough to football. Whoever asked what's the difference between being a brick shithouse and Mr blobby has it right. None whatsoever. Both are too ill disciplined to ply their trade to the best of their ability. Essentially akinfenwa=stfc Ruddock...

It doesn't 'matter' one bit, it was just an observation. Bloody hell

For the record I don't rate him but he is a fucking massive and always has a knack of scoring goals but his control is like that of a brick wall and he has the pace of an oil tanker. Fans of all the clubs he has been to love him though, we almost signed him under Sturrock but he failed his medical. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/6254932.stm

Think his touch is decent and he's good at ruffling defenders as he showed last night. If a team is launching it then he's a decent asset. Some good flick ons and mugged off premier defenders more than once last night. Gets in good scoring postions too. Obviously no good running the channels but that's why he plays for who he does.

Whatever his imitations might be a goal every 3 games for pretty much 10 years is nothing to be sniffed at
