Ian David Wolstenholme was a professional football player. He played for the position of goalkeeper at Sheffield FC, Enfield FC, and Slough town FC. He was noted throughout his career for exceptional plays, most notably in a "last-minute" safe against Manchester FC in a district qualifying game.

Mr. Wolstenholme, after retiring, then transitioned his career into professional food eating. He served on the National English Consumption Club board of directors between 2007 and 2010. He most notably participated in banana eating contests throughout Northern England, around Bradford, his hometown, and in York City, where he once played.

It was at York City, during a major contest, that he was booed and galavanted for his time at the Football Club. This event then alienated Mr. Wolstenholme from participating in such events publicly. He then moved into private sector professional food eating, still specializing in bananas and hotdogs- which he is quoted in "[Bananas and Hotdogs] are the staples of any professional eater," in an interview to Sky News UK.
