VIDEO: Portly Wimbledon striker Akinfenwa scores vs. Liverpool, is Internet sensation
Reuters
The NFL has fat-guy touchdowns, but only the FA Cup has fat-guy goals.
AFC Wimbledon striker Adebayo Akinfenwa fits the criteria to provide such moments.
During Monday's FA Cup match against Liverpool, the English striker sent Twitter into a frenzy by tapping home a scrambled corner in his club's third-round contest against Liverpool.
Better than the goal, however, was this lovely piece of skill later in the match. What it lacks in speed, it makes up for in grace:
How much does the big striker weigh, you might ask? One thing's for certain - it's not what the club would have you believe:
AFC Wimbledon's Adebayo Akinfenwa is officially listed at 5'11", 189 pounds. http://t.co/jVe73UQb4w pic.twitter.com/MHxjh6gPYG
