Saw this guy on The Football League show saturday Preston v Blackpool and couldnt believe how much fatter he has got even since the photo was taken. This guy is huge, iv never seen a professional footballer in this condition even in the old days. Surely he is far too overweight to be playing at that level, makes Andy Reid 3 years ago look like a waif

    A bit like Jimmy Fat Piggybank then? That didn't stop us signing him...
  • he's quality, check his goal per game ratio
