Adebayo Akinfenwa

[Mighty Shrimper]

I was amazed when I walked into Roots Hall today to see the state of Adebayo Akinfenwa. I simply could not believe the size of the guy! He was huge and when I say huge, I don't mean muscle, I mean fat.

How can this guy play football? I'm not joking when I say that the first thought that went through my head when I saw him come out before the game was, surely if he lasts the full 90 minutes, I fancy him to have a heart attack on the pitch.

I have never seen a professional footballer look so physically bad.

Played well second half though, didn't he

 

[Mighty Shrimper]

He was terrible in the first half but was alot better in the 2nd.

What an embarrassment though. The guy has seriously let himself go.

 

[Sherif H]

I don't remember him not ever being enormously fat to be honest!

 

[Mighty Shrimper]

He looked like a NFL Offensive Guard.

I found him very offensive to look at in fairness...

 

[LennySUFC]

An eye for goal would u say no to him being in a SUFC strip?

 

[McNasty]

Please can you all stop being fattist.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Lol, agree Ken. Akinfenwa has always been on the large size, but he uses it to great effect and his fitness doesn't seem to be an issue, certainly had a yard or two of pace about him.

I thought he was well rounded

NASA did report during the game that a new planet had been discovered.

He looked like he had lost a bit of weight from the last time he was at RH.

If he is that fat, it shows up our team who got outpaced or pushed off the ball far too easily. He looked very dangerous on the ball.

I don't actually think it is fat, the bloke is hug but it's muscle, definitely wouldn't want him running at you. Impossible to mark thought Barker and Phillips won some good headers against him, HE IS MASSIVE!
Always liked him ever since him and Trundle took the **** out of the league a few years ago!

 

[fbm]

We certainly couldn't cope with him today. More muscle than fat.

I like him. Also big smiles and banter when the BV were trying to rip the **** out of him. Quality act for the basement division. Knows his limits and strengths and plays to them.

 

[Wickford Blue]

Scored one and made the other - would guess the manager could not care less how fat he is! Has always caused us problems going back to when he was at Swansea with Trundle. Hate it when he comes here as we always struggle to deal with him!

According to Soccer base he only weighs 13 st 5 lb, clearly making that up. Saying that they also have Brian "The Beast" Jensen down as 12 st 2 lb :hilarious:

I think that is birth weight

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

He does the job though.

Yep, scored one and set up the second.
