00:00Strength has been one of soccer's most underrated weapons.
00:03Beyond skill, speed, and tactics,
00:05some players have left their mark on the game with sheer physical power.
00:09Today, we look at some of the strongest footballers ever to grace the pitch.
00:13Adebayo Akinfenwa
00:14First up, Adebayo Akinfenwa, or simply, the beast.
00:18Known more for his physique than his goals,
00:20Akinfenwa still scored an impressive 234 career goals
00:24across clubs like Torquay, Swansea, Northampton,
00:28Gillingham, Wimbledon, and Wycombe.
00:30Then there's George Alicobi, a gentle giant off the field.
00:34But on it, he was a powerhouse defender.
00:36From Colchester to Wolves, and later as a manager at Maidstone United,
00:40Alicobi's career was built on grit and muscle.
00:43His perseverance paid off with four promotions and goals in every division,
00:47from the Premier League down to the National League South.
00:51Of course, no list of strong players is complete without Hulk.
00:54The Brazilian forward earned his nickname thanks to his resemblance to Lou Ferrigno,
00:59the original TV Hulk.
01:01With a career spanning Japan, Portugal, Russia, China, and Brazil,
01:05Hulk has scored over 400 goals, combining brute force with a thunderous left foot.
01:11Danny Shitu's story is equally inspiring.
01:14Born in Lagos and raised in London's tough East End,
01:17Shida nearly pursued computer science before football took over.
01:20His imposing presence as a defender made him a rock at the back,
01:24and his journey from humble beginnings to the professional game
01:27speaks volumes about determination and resilience.
01:30And finally, Romelu Lukaku.
01:32From his youth, his size and strength were so overwhelming that rival parents questioned his age.
01:38But once he broke through, there was no stopping him.
01:41With more than 300 career goals and counting,
01:44Lukaku's combination of physicality, hold-up play,
01:47and finishing as tormented defenses across Europe,
01:50he remains Belgium's all-time top scorer, with 85 international goals.
01:55From the beast Akenfenwa to the powerhouse Hulk,
01:58from Alakobi's resilience to Shitu's imposing defense,
02:01and Lukaku's unstoppable dominance,
