The League Two club has the fattest fans in England, according to an NHS survey, but while the Hatters are the least healthy, QPR fans can puff out their toned chests after it was revealed they are the fittest bunch in the country.
In the Premier League, Blackpool fans are the leanest, with porky Everton supporters bringing up the flabby rear. The online Football Fan Fitness Challenge asked 25,000 fans about their lifestyle,height, weight, how much they drank and how many cigs they smoked.
It found that among Premier League clubs, 81% of Wigan fans are non-smokers, the best rate in the division, while 85% of Spurs fans drank sensibly.
At the other end of the table, more than a third of Blackburn fans smoke, Fulham fans are biggest boozers and most Sunderland fans are unhealthily heavy.
Health Minister Anne Milton, 54, said: “By highlighting the gap between their own health and football stars, we hope young people will be inspired to get active and adopt a healthy diet.”
