They've missed out including Adebayo Akinfenwa.

Who'd have thought it? I'm about the same size as Odel Beckham Jr.

Size isn’t every though though love.

I wear similar-sized trousers to Peter Crouch. Only his trousers are 28" waist and 36" leg, and mine are 36" waist and 28" leg.

Why doesn’t Bernard blow away in a strong breeze?

William Foulke played four first-class matches for Derbyshire County Cricket Club in the 1900 season, but is remembered primarily as a goalkeeper for Sheffield United although he later played for Chelsea and Bradford City.

After being discovered playing for village side Blackwell in a Derbyshire Cup tie at Ilkeston Town, Foulke made his debut for Sheffield United against West Bromwich Albion on 1 September 1894 and led the team to three FA Cup finals (winning two) and a League Championship.

According to The Cat's Pyjamas: The Penguin Book of Cliches (ISBN 9780141025162), the "Who ate all the pies?" chant was first sung in 1894 by Sheffield United supporters, and directed at Foulke's 300 lb (about 136 kg).[3] This is disputed, however, as a September 2019 article on the BBC Sport website pointed out that the tune to which the chant is sung - Knees Up Mother Brown - is believed to have originated in 1918, which was some 2 years after Foulke's death.[4] The tune to "Who ate all the Pies" is however more akin to "Bread of Heaven" so the BBC theory is less convincing.

He also won a single international cap for England in 1897 against Wales.

William Perry, 152kg and 1.88m according to Wiki. So somewhere over lower right.

Akinfenwa 1.85m and 105kg apparently. So right in the middle of American footballers.

I weigh a bit more than Ronaldo but he’s a fair bit taller than me. Still, I’ll take that as an unexpected 1-1 draw against a man of his talent.
