London men show red card to obesity through football

Three tonnes of excess weight have been shed by 950 amateur London footballers taking part in a football-focussed health programme over a year.

Man v Fat Football has had 13 clubs encourage overweight and obese men to shed excess weight.

The clubs are across the capital, from Sutton and Leyton to Enfield and Westminster, and its organisers are looking for new players to kick start the season.
