Just a silly thread to discuss the humongous and massively large players in our game! I just came across this photo and thought it was amazing imagery, and wondered if others can share some stories etc about Super-Sized players!  Billy "Fatty" Foulke was the Sheffield United goalkeeper a huge man, over 6' 2" tall and 22 stone in weight. For his size he was remarkably agile and was an English international. This is Mr Foulke in action intimidating a weedy forward, yes as a goalie.   |

We could do with a couple of big lads in the spine of the team but not of that proportion.

Sure I read that ball boys were first introduced to fetch the ball for that goalkeeper.

Port Vale had a forward named Bob Newton in the early 80s. He seemed quite large.
