A FOOTBALL league has been launched for men who are overweight.

The Man V Fat League was launched in Solihull in a bid to encourage men to stop being couch potatoes.

It is restricted to men who have a body mass index of 30 or over. Points are awarded for both games won and pounds lost.

The league’s founder, Andrew Shanahan is no longer eligible to play because he’s gone from 17 stone to 12 stone.

To mark the launch of the league, here’s our suggestion for the ideal team:

1. Eater Smeichel
2. Belly Bremner
3. Snack Charlton
4. Kieron Diet
5. Blobby Moore 
6. Paul Scales
7. Gorge Best
8. Fat Lofthouse
9. Malcolm McDonalds
10. Jamie Lardy 
11. Chrissy Wobble
Sub: Nicky Butty
Manager: Big Spam Allardyce
