Arsenal fans top the league for being the fattest on the terraces — with their replica kits sold up to size 6XL
Meanwhile rivals Chelsea apparently have the most wasp-waisted followers with maximum-sized jerseys at XXL
ARSENAL fans top the footie fatties league — as the club sells the Prem’s biggest replica shirts.
Gunners supporters, along with Leicester and Stoke fans, can buy tops up to size 6XL.
They fit chests up to 62ins — more than 5ft.
Gooners have to shell-out £55 for the Puma-designed big tops, while Stoke’s gut blankets by Macron are £45.
Chelsea apparently have the most wasp-waisted followers with maximum-sized jerseys at XXL.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Tango Man Paul Gregory, 54, who wobbles his belly at matches, said: “A size 6XL wouldn’t be a tent on me, it would be a marquee.
“I’m only a 2XL, though I haven’t worn a shirt for 26 years.
"I say if you’ve got it flaunt it — who needs a top anyway.”

Football statto Ed Shirbon, 42, a facts man for BT Sport, added: “It’s a statistic I welcome.
“These extra sizes might spare us the horror of straining nylon around middle-aged girths this season.”
Arsenal last night claimed its 6XL shirts were the equivalent of a 3XL or 4XL in other UK retailers.
A spokesman said: “We look to provide a variety of sizes to ensure all supporters are catered for.”
