In tribute of Mr De Lima's sensational achievement yesterday.

And by Alfredo Di Stefano I of course mean "Ferenc Puskas". Great start.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 10:04 (nineteen years ago)

I was just about to say, Di Stefano?!?!? But Puskas = CLASSIC

S: John Robertson
D: Frank Lampard

― ¡Vamos a matar, Dadaismus! (Dada), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 10:08 (nineteen years ago)

S: Kevin Bond, who starred in a largely lardy Exeter line-up which also included a fading Steve Moran and a not-very fit Ronnie Jepson. Actually, S all of the above.

Song of the year, that year: "2-4-6-8 overweight".

All fat footballers are classic. Especially Andy Reid and Nicky Barmby.

Fat footballers are almost as classic as bald footballers

s: well-travelled former australian international john markovski, of whom a commentator once claimed mid-game that "usually it takes two to tango, but it takes three to tango when you tango with him".

DJ goes with the old "grow a beard to hide the chins" tactic.

Yeah, but his job was to a fat bastard for about 2 minutes a week for 16 weeks. Not exactly leading the line is it?

― Dave B (daveb), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

Barry Lavety! I'm surprised the world didn't spin off its axis in Paisley when himself and Mark Yardley were playing upfront together.

He seems to have avoided cameras in his really fat stage. As does my other candidate for this thread, Sebastian Rozenthal. Though to be fair, it must have been easy for him to put on weight when he was sitting on his arse doing nothing forever.

Jesus, I'd forgotten all about Sebastian Rozenthal!

― ¡Vamos a matar, Dadaismus! (Dada), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

Too be fair some of Lavety's extra curricular activities kept him slim for extended periods.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

All my other answers have already been taken. Damn you all for starting this thread before I got home from work.

What on earth happened to Nuno Baloono for that photo? On the pitch he seems like another fellow entirely.

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

Mark, have you put on weight since I last saw you? There's no way you're fatter than Mixu Paatelainen.

Can we do a fat Premiership footballers XI? Andy Reid, Neville Southall, Jan Molby, Razor Ruddock, Jan Aage Fjortoft, Frank Lampard, it'd be a cracking team.

I've been convinced that Robinson's been a secret fatty for years.

― Scik Mouthy, Thursday, 14 February 2008 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

Defoe: But why is he so fat, we have to carry him off the pitch at the end of games?
Ghaly: He put pies. In here.

so confusing that nobody was really making "lol tottenHAM HOTPOT" jokes before alvarez was like "Yeah i made them lose a combined 50kg and we've got 50kg to go"? like, the jokes aren't funny when they've alreadyl ost a bunch of the weight.

although i find it hilarious that the hardest thing for huddlestone was cutting ketchup form his eating-chicken ritual.

― ohmigud (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 5 May 2013 18:18 (twelve years ago)

I mind being at the last game at Celtic Park before the bulldozers came in in the early 90s, and there was a kickabout between the Lisbon Lions and some version of the Man Utd 68 team. Bobby Murdoch bore more than a passing resemblance to that photo, and lasted approx 10 seconds (I don't think he even moved!) before being subbed off.
