Adebayo Akinfenwa, aka the strongest man in football, put in an excellent display for AFC Wimbledon during their narrow pre-season defeat at the hands of Chelsea. The 32-year-old didn’t score against the Premier League giants, but he did, unsurprisingly, put in an impressively strong display.
In fact, Chelsea were two down with 16 minutes to go – after being roughed up by 16st powerhouse ‘The Beast’ Akinfenwa for an hour of play.
But the half-time introduction of Terry and Branislav Invanovic eventually turned around their fortunes and denied AFC Wimbledon a famous victory. The man labelled the ‘world’s strongest footballer’ due to his ability to benchpress 180kg – almost twice his body-weight – was statistically the strongest footballer on the video game FIFA 14.
Time after time he rolled defenders, shook off challenges and shrugged off the attentions of Chelsea’s million-pound men before he was withdrawn on 66 minutes with his side in charge.
