Akinfenwa is more than just a cult hero he’s often called the strongest footballer ever. Standing at 1.80 m but weighing close to 100 kg of solid muscle, he could hold off two or three defenders with ease. His sheer size and physical presence made him unplayable at times in the lower leagues of English football.
What made him unique? His gym-level strength. He could bench over 200 kg, giving him dominance rarely seen in football. Even FIFA video games rated him the strongest football player in the world for years, showing how legendary his reputation became.
