Look: Sutton's Wayne Shaw visits bar at half-time, eats pie on touchline
Wayne Shaw, Sutton United's second-choice goalkeeper, is 46 years old and weighs in at 20 stone (280 pounds). He is the personification of lower-league football and is known as the "roly-poly goalie."
Even when Sutton is playing, Shaw continues to represent non-league football to the fullest, as was evidenced at Gander Green Lane on Monday.
While Sutton was battling Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Shaw, who was named to the bench for one of the biggest games in the non-league club's history, was seen in a bar at half-time, posing for photographs with supporters.

Once Sutton had made all three substitutions and there was no possibility of Shaw taking the pitch, the English 'keeper was then seen eating a pie on the bench. It was yet another reminder of just how different the FA Cup is to the Premier League.

Sutton fell 2-0 to Arsenal, meaning Shaw is exiting the FA Cup having failed to tally a single appearance.
