These kind of story's make you realise how much of a kind hearted person JJ is, Think a lot of people judge him based off this whole "KSI" character but real fans know who he actually is

[@mattclay4]

I was a season ticket holder at Northampton, and I'm sure everyone else that has had the privilege of watching Bayo play, his attitude came out on the pitch. Was gutted when he left, such a good striker, scared the absolute s*** out of defenses! When Northampton played teams of a higher level in the FA or Carling Cup, the defenders had no idea how to deal with him.

[@teqjn4140]

I’m the same, watched him at the cobblers cos I live here but not from here and he was the reason I went to watch them every couple of weeks, underrated player cos of his size!

[@jasperrowell4470]

What a crazy story. He just didn’t know what anything was, KSI makes a video on him and now he’s one of the most well known players and everyone loves him.

[@BenDavidson29]

From watching KSI when emineke, doumbia being his guys, the fact akinfewa embraced it was the best choice of his career

[@bradley3125]

people love to give JJ shit for the persona he plays online but anyone that's ever met him in person knows what a genuine nice guy he is, i was lucky enough to meet him in 2019 sound as fuck.

[@TwofourA]

He was a lot realer back in the day though when the akinfenwa videos were poppin now he’s went Hollywood can’t blame him tho

[@DWilliamW99]

​@@TwofourA he hasn't went Hollywood though, he's still very grounded, doesn't think he's above people, can talk to people on a natural level, those Sidemen boys take the piss out of him all the time and he banters straight back, never in a million years is he anywhere near "Hollywood"

JJ is a rare breed of human . He doesn’t scam any of his fans he only promotes his products and his friends and followers if they have done something mad . He doesn’t care about recognition on doing good things for people and he is the exact same person off camera . Big up JJ

[@lukefoster8651]

I remember when the beast came to walsall when he was at Northampton and he ran the show, everytime a walsall player went up in the air with him they ended up either 6ft away or on the floor. Akinfenwa is a legend.

[@LewBagsLive]

Great content.👍 Really enjoyed this 👏

[@opetahenry]

Can listen to Akinfenwa speak all day. Very well spoken.

[@dingz734]

Remember watching adebayo akinfemwa at Torquay before the blow up he was unreal lovely bloke

[@vvalfie]

Probably doesn’t mean much but I remember my team played wimbledon when Bayo was there a few years ago. At the end of the game he came over to all the away fans kids and took photos with every single one who wanted one. Little acts like that really highlight his good nature

[@vvalfie]

Was a friendly btw* Can’t imagine this would happen in a competitive game

[@ChancesFilms]

Im from Northampton Used to go watch Akinfenwa at cobblers me and my boys would shout BEASTTTTT!!! 🤣👍

[@Ryan-vr2gb]

its lucky that he has a great personality as well so he was able to fully capitalise on this blow up he had because of jj

[@Beigenotbrown]

Things like this is why us fans have stuck with JJ since 2010 and not others. Because he’s a real man as well as an entertainer 🐐

[@HelpMeLearnLife]

I was abit late to ksi/sidemen. Prob 2017 I started watching or whenever the joe Weller fight was. But I 100% agree. Ksi is a real 1. We need to protect him at all cost
