Fara Williams has revealed her time as a professional player was surrounded by a culture of disordered eating and a fear of being put into a “fat club” if someone’s body fat percentage was deemed too high. “You get a fat test every time you go into camp and if you’re not under a certain body percentage you go into ‘fat club’. For me, to label something as ‘fat club’ as a professional is crazy. I was never in ‘fat club’, I would never go, I would just not play the game. An openly used term – you go into ‘fat club’.
