Ebanks-Blake fighting fit for Wolves play-off push
Related Articles
22 April 2008
Ebanks-Blake has scored 10 goals for Wolves since signing from Plymouth in January, but last month he hit back at suggestions he is overweight.
Wanted: Ebanks Blake in action
He celebrated his goal against Ipswich on Saturday by taking off his shirt to reveal his physique. His joy was short-lived as Ipswich equalised in the last minute, but he has light-heartedly threatened to go one step further to silence anyone else who questions his fitness.
"I don't know what I'll do if I score and we win," he said. "I might take all my clothes off. I want three points. I'd have swapped all my other goals for a win against Ipswich.
"It was just a spontaneous thing when I scored. But you have critics in football and part of the game is proving those critics wrong. I've got a job to do and I'm doing it.
"You have to be fit to play at this level. It's just that my natural shape is probably not the most flattering."
