While the non-league side's 23-stone shot-stopper thrived in the spotlight, the manager did not necessarily have similar feelings
Sutton United boss Paul Doswell has said that goalkeeper Wayne Shaw did not show the club “in the best light” when he was caught on television eating a pie on the bench as his side lost 2-0 in the FA Cup to Arsenal.
The non-league outfit had attracted a great deal of publicity before the game, and in particular the 43-year-old 23-stone reserve goalkeeper caught much of the media spotlight.
One bookmaker even offered odds on the plus-sized shot-stopper to be caught eating a pie during the game, and his manager said he “assumed” that why the incident occurred.
