According to the the NHS, adults can use body mass index (BMI) to calculate whether their weight is healthy when compared to their height.
As many regular gym goers can testify, the results shouldn’t be taken too seriously. BMI is frequently criticised as an indicator of determining of someone is overweight as they don’t distinguish between fat and muscle.
Nevertheless, guidelines state that someone with a BMI over 25 ‘should think about losing some weight’.
With that in mind, here’s the list of ‘overweight’ footballers.
