Talk:William Foulke (footballer)

Does Fatty "only" weight 150 kg ? In the Guiness World Record 2001, he's the fatest football player ever, and then he weight 165 kg.

What's that in English measures? They certainly wouldn't have used metric at the time. Lenzar (talk) 16:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Stories about William Foulke

I have heard, although I have no sources, that he once said, "I don't care what you call me so long as you don't call me late for dinner." On another occasion, when his team were staying at a hotel prior to an away match, he was first down for breakfast and ate the other ten players' meals as well as his own. These would fit in with what we know about him. PJJ
