“Yes, I did ban chips,” said Moyes, who is now working in La Liga with Real Sociedad after lasting just ten months into a six-year contract at Old Trafford. “It was because a couple of players were overweight and I didn’t think chips were good for their diet.”
However, despite Moyes’ complaints, there are a handful of players who have enjoyed successful careers despite regularly battling with their weight. In the pages below, we count down the top ten:
10) Jan Molby
The 33-time Danish international was a cult hero at Anfield. He played 218 league games for Liverpool, winning 11 major honours, including three first division titles and three FA Cups.

A fabulous talent, but one that could have been even more successful. Weight issues cost him during spells with Real Madrid and AC Milan, but he’s enjoyed success at a number of other Italian clubs and with his country.
