There have been many plump footballers over the years, but I cannot remember anyone filling out a Premier League shirt quite as well as ‘stocky’ Sunderland player Andy Reid. When Reid scored the Black Cats’ winner against West Ham there were none of the somersault celebrations which followed Kenwyne Jones’ opener (although if you look closely Grant Leadbitter does have a crafty grope of his jangling man boobs).
Clearly it doesn’t affect his ability to find the back of the net, but by Premier League standards Reid is absolutely huge. Have you seen bigger?
See Reid’s goal and Leadbitter’s grope after the jump.
