For fans of books by Jimmy Bullard, Paul Merson, The Sidemen and
the F2 Freestylers Messi might be the most skilful, Ronaldo might
have the best shot, but according to FIFA it's 16-stone Adebayo
Akinfenwa who's the strongest footballer in the world. With a
larger-than-life personality to match, it's no wonder 'The Beast'
has become an icon, attracting millions of social media followers,
launching his own clothing label, and still banging in the goals
for Wycombe Wanderers. With such fame and adoration, it's easy to
forget that Bayo is one of the hardest-working footballers around.
His mental strength has had to be equal to his physical. Told by
English clubs he was 'too big' to play football, he joined
Lithuanian team FK Atlantas as a teenager where he faced widespread
racial abuse. A career of grafting in the lower leagues of English
and Welsh football followed, with spells at Barry Town, Torquay,
Swansea, Gillingham, Northampton and AFC Wimbledon. Bayo's charisma
and knack of scoring vital goals made him a fan favourite at each.
His last ever kick for the Dons was a penalty at Wembley to help
win the club promotion. 'I think I'm technically unemployed,' he
told an interviewer after the final whistle. 'So any managers hit
me up on the WhatsApp and get me a job!' Inspiring, entertaining
and full of character, this is the story of how Akinfenwa became a
true cult hero and the never-give-up attitude that made him the
biggest footballer on the planet.
