I know that he hasn't been skinny for some time but amazed how much he'd changed. Good to see he is enjoying life!

Obviously Steve Bruce doesn't get involved in Sunderland's 5-a-side training games!

To be fair, ages or dates of photos would help this and not make them look like such fat s?

There were some comments from fans attending Sunderlands pre-season games saying Bruce is worryingly overweight.

They're not wrong. When you're that fat it's all the fat that you can't see smothering your organs that you really need to worry about.....

I was gunna post some pics of Roberto Duran (Manos de Piedra) but couldn't bring myself to put them up......one of my all-time heroes.

I guess when one has trained so hard over the years, eaten as an athlete, burned all those calories off in the gym (or where ever), then one stops training....still eating as an athlete but not burning the calories off, the weight soon piles on. The training is easier to give up than the massive appetite?
