Football Manager and Cult Hero Reveals Remarkable Weight Loss After Shedding Six Stone

A well-known football league manager has stunned fans with a significant transformation, losing six stone (approximately 38 kg).

Steve Evans, who has garnered a cult following through his management roles at clubs such as Leeds United, Gillingham, and Stevenage, has recently undergone a dramatic physical change.

During his second stint at Rotherham United last season, Evans attracted attention when former Premier League midfielder Joey Barton publicly criticized his fitness. Barton, following a training session photo shared by the club, took to social media to criticize Evans, questioning his athletic output and fitness level.

Barton’s comments included: “How can you demand athletic outputs from professional men with a body like a bin liner full of milk?” and questioned whether Evans should be sacked for being out of shape. These comments reignited an old feud, as Barton had previously called Evans a “fat man” after a draw between Bristol Rovers and Stevenage.

Evans, who left Rotherham in May after his second spell managing the team, has since made a visible transformation. Speaking on Sky Sports, he revealed he has lost six stones since leaving management.

The news of his weight loss surprised many fans online. One social media user said, “Wow, looks so well, lost 6 stone,” sharing their positive support. Others expressed admiration, noting how much fitter Evans appears now.
