Southampton v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[LeeB]

The fattest player I ever saw in a top-flight game was in a southampton shirt. Richard Dryden. He ran as if his entire training regime centred on the consumption of hot dogs

Neil Shipperley when he came up with Palace.

[OzVilla]

Steve Moran, Sammy Lee and Micky Quinn were all fatties in their time.

[Deano's Mullet]

Jan Molby circa 1992. Theres yer winner right there. Neil Ruddock put on the pounds a lot too at the end of his career.

[Deano's Mullet]

Tomas Brolin too. Mark Viduka.

Or Bernie Wright when he was at Everton.

I remember Jardel at Bolton.

[Toronto Villa]

Then there's Neville



at least he then tried to get fitter...oh



fitter should read fatter

I remember his last professional game for Bradford (against Leeds I think). He'd been drafted in as an emergency. He was huge bless him. Bloody good keeper in his day though.

[Toronto Villa]

Jabba the Hutt



Neville Southall

At least with a goalkeeper they're taking up more of the goal.

It's really poor for a well-paid professional footballer to not keep themselves in good condition. More acceptable back in the day but to do it these days is a joke. See Adriano and Ronaldo amongst others - http://talksport.com/magazine/big-picture/2012-02-12/pics-fat-footballers-including-adriano-huddlestone-holt-ebanks-blake-adriano-and-ronaldo

Even Tommy Johnson and Emile Heskey have scored Villa winners on the south coast. Both at night, though.

[SoccerHQ]

1-3.

This lot need a slap for losing to Sunderland and Leicester in the last two weeks.

Running scared of us for next season clearly.

Were the lights out due to some coucil money saving scheme?

1-1 draw. Grealish to score.
