    kind of off topic but i'll say again, saw Garland 4 or 5 years ago i think playing for a kent league side and he ran the game, despite weighing more than the other 21 players put together.

    Andy Reid I think just has a large frame, didnt one of the fitness coaches say he actually had the lowest body fat than anyone at the club?

    I'm big boned as well.

    If David Whyte had stayed another season he may have ended up 'Garlanded'

    Fatty Garland, hands down. Such a shame - quality player.

    Kermorgant at Welling last year was huge. Put on at least 2 stone in the off season.

    I remember thinking the same thing and it took him a while to lose some of it too. Looks like he's kept away from the cuisine a bit better this year - doesn't look so large in the training pictures on the OS.

    Ha. You win that every time you open your mouth, old fruit. Like shearing a pig, as Vladimir Putin put it. All squeal and no wool!!!

    Fatty Elliot should be a strong contender.

    When he dived during that last season with us it was like watching a sack of spuds fall off the back of a lorry..

    Yes I remember him commenting that it was one thing when opposition fans called you fat, but when your own fans, of a club you have supported since a child, call you names, that's when you know its time to leave.

    Was it Brendan O'Connell, midfielder in late eighties? Looked like he enjoyed a guinness.

    This. I remember an interview where said he said he was drinking 16 cups of tea a day, all with sugar.

    I remember Andy Jones being loaned out and coming back almost sylph-like. Normal service was soon resumed...!

    You will know, Big William, that he kept having his room mate's (Gordon Watson) leftovers.

    You did, if I'm not mistaken he played a friendly/testimonial midweek in the middle of the season
