We all struggle with a little weight gain every once in a while. These guys stepped it up a notch however. These are some of the fattest football players that have ever roamed this earth. We would love to take you along for this greasy ride.
20. Adebayo Akinfenwa
This man is absolutely legendary. He might just be the heaviest player to ever play the game at a somewhat acceptable level. Lets just say that he is more well known for his size. His remarkable size.
19. Jeroen Verhoeven
this former Ajax goalkeeper is a bit of a legend. Amongst his many nicknames was ‘frietpan’ which translates to something like ‘deep fryer’. At every goal kick that he would take, the whole stadium would yell ‘pizza!’. Good fun.
18. Diego Armando Maradona
According to many this is the greatest footballer that ever lived. Be that as it may, he is also well known for gaining huge amounts of weight. We are surprised the still fits through the door. Does he even?
17. Wayne Shaw
The man, the legend: Wayne Shaw. This ex-Sutton goalie got worldfamous during his club’s FA Cup tie against Arsenal in 2017. He was caught eating a pie during the game. You can tell that he really adores his pie. Its quite cute.
16. Genero Zeefuik
Genero Zeefuik was usually called ‘Zeebuik’ wich means something like ‘see the belly’ in Dutch. Hilarious. He was never really one of the greatest players in the game but good luck trying to get him off the ball.
