Charlie Miller. He looks more like someones aging office worker dad than a professional footballer.

I’d actually like to see a “fat” footballer do well. Big doesn’t always equal unhealthy or unfit and I think the only reason football is getting so anorexic is how important pace is these days so that having a sprinter’s physique is more and more important for breakaways.

I think a striker who can actually throw some weight around during headers or challenges would be nice and may actually become a new exciting tactic once pros forget how to challenge that type of attacker. Especially some place like the EPL where career-ending sliding tackles are seen as a hello.
