Is their second half keeper the only ever player to combine goalkeeping and sumo wrestling ...?

Kenny Simpkins might have started Welsh but he became a Poolie through and through.
I think he actully started footy as a forward and took to goalkeeping later.
Come to think of it, we managed to give all our goalies plenty of game time back then. Ken was pretty much our standby goalie.

Ken Simpkins was never anywhere near that size, last time I saw something that big, it had three tugs around it.
