    Fattest Player in the League

    as opposed to fastest

    I'd say Chippy Devlin is Bray's fatest player ever... what about your club

    Keith Foy has started to develop his own gravitational field

    edit: my own club, its probably garreth farrelly, although 3 months ago he looked like he could do with a ham sandwich. stress eating i'd say!

    One of our new signings is a few stone overweight - Alan Reilly I think it is?

    Chippy was loveably fat. Goalkeepers in the 80s and 90s had different rules (he was also a class keeper and easily our best ever sub keeper)

    The likes of Foy are just sloppy fat. He's being paid a decent amount and he trins every day and is still overweight?!?

    Michael Keane came back about 2 stone overweight but he looks to be losing a bit already

    Marc Kenny was predictably chunky when he showed up at Richmond for Phoenix FC. I think the old Soccer Show did a piece where they followed him and Trevor Wood (it's not as bad for goalkeepers) around a supermarket where they bought chips, pies and a full roast pig each, that sort of thing.

    Alan Reilly had really broad shoulders when he played with Pats so I could imagine him falling into the wrong side of, eh, "stocky", having been away from regular senior football for a while.

    Paul Byrne and John Lester deserve honourable mentions here.

    He wasn't that size when he played, to be fair.
    Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

    6 mins to go and Gino O'Boyle is his name...he's a local bouncer.

    How's Robbie "Big Mac" McAuley doing for Dundalk these days? His mom once gave a club official hell when STIG printed something about his weight (EDIT: actually, it may have suggested that he killed and ate a whole cow during a game). The retraction made reference to his personal hygiene being "beyond repute".

    I don't see any sign of it. If it's been photoshopped, they did a good job of it.

    Nah its definitely him. Why would the official Wexford site do that? Plus he's definitely into his US looks these days...
