The Machiavellian irrational cult of the body that governs today been ostracized and mockery of William Henry "Fatty" Foulke (1874 - 1916), a famous English cricketer and footballer, measuring 2.01 meters tall and weighed 150 kilos at the end of his career (although they say that playing as a goalkeeper for Bradford City weighed a whopping 165 kilos). Undoubtedly it is the player who has the weight record in the history of professional football.
born in Dawley, Shropshire, and registered at birth as William Henry Foulk, was known most of his life as William Henry Foulke and his death as William Henry Foulkes. He played in the 4 th category of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in 1900 but is remembered as a goalkeeper at Sheffield United and Chelsea and Bradford City. He even played on the football team England in 1897 against Wales national football team, which won the English game by 4 to 0.
After being discovered playing for Blackwell in "Derbyshire Cup" at Ilkeston Town, Foulke made his debut for Sheffield United against West Bromwich Albion on September 1, 1894 and participated in three finals of the FA Cup winning two, and the League Championship. He debuted with 19 years of age in an era in which the goalkeeper could be lashed by the opponents of bodily weight was a clear advantage. Agile despite its appearance was said to be a good field atajapenales and loaded up with the rest of his team when needed.

Shortly after going to Chelsea for a £ 20 contract, being captain and crowd favorite pitch for overstepping their midfield. He stayed there one season (1905-1906), playing 35 games and coining phrases as famous as "I do not care unless they call me call me late for lunch." After that ended up in his last club, Bradford City.
In February 1907, while played a game against Accrington Stanley FC, an incident caused the rupture of his shirt and did not find any that is adjusted, so that should be covered with a blanket brought from a nearby house, his team won 1 to 0. It was also during his season at Bradford when he broke the crossbar of the goal in two to hang of it and forced the temporary suspension of play.
Towards the end of his life William Foulke fell from grace and fire tackled by a few cents on a ride called "beats to the gatekeeper", located in the English seaside resort Blackpool Sands . They say it was there where it caught the pneumonia that killed him with only 42 years old, in 1916, while also considering the possibility he died as a result of their excess weight. He even argues that his death certificate was talk of cirrhosis as the cause of his death.
Foulke appears in a film by Mitchell and Kenyon, playing a match , 6 September 1902. In this link from my web football can see more pictures of the marvelous "player" Brit.
