Who is the fattest footballer you remember whilst playing?

I reckon goal scoring machine and Bob Carolgees impersonator Mickey Quinn takes some beating

I always thought Neville Southall looked a bit on the large side.

Francis Lee.

Was he quite a big lad Ted?

Obviously a little before my time (He finished his City career when I was 1 years old) so I didn't see much of him on the pitch only what i've seen in old film

You can't beat real Ronaldo when he got back into the game after injury

Michael Johnson

Mad John Burridge

John Parkin

Jan Molby playing for Swansea City against Hereford United in the mid to late 90's. I've never noticed a chubbier player in my time. He genuinely looked like a very cheeky pitch invader who'd been fattening himself up for Christmas.

Edit - I didn't put the stars in United because it's John Trewick's Barmy Army and not Baconface McTaggart near Manchester.

Jan Mjolby DEFINITELY from outfield players. Funny thing was that he was still pretty good.

Neville Southall of later years of his career takes some beating though. Steve Ogrizovic was no small man either.

Fattie Foulkes of Chelsea was over 30 stone. Nobody's ever come come close to his size.

Thread over I'm afraid:o(

Anyone else think Michael Owen is starting to have a look of Tyrone Dobbs?

City fat eleven:

Gerry Creaney, Young Joe Corrigan, Dalian Fatkinson (boy was he fat!), Michael Johnson (what a cheeky boy!), Blobster Fowler, Blobby "the binman" Taylor, Fatty Lee, Michael Flabinson (anyone seen him celebrating a goal v Bristol City in 1980: had really let himself go while out of the side), Nicky Weaver in his Bobby Davro/Freddie Starr period with lots of Chins, John "Pudgy" Burridge, mike walsh

Jaimie Pollock - looked like and played like a hippo!
