It will massively increase your chances of tear out and accidents if you try to remove it all with a router, you will certainly reduce the life of the bit quite substantially
some people manage with jig saws, usually with a series of relief holes driled close to the body outline My first was done by hand with a coping saw - wouldn't recommend that

Football is rubbish.
You can do it with a jigsaw, a decent pone mind, like a Dewalt DW331K at least. But you have to go real slow and let the blade do the work and move it along. Even then, with 1.75" oak you would struggle to get it within 2-3mm all round, but you could probably manage 5mm. The convex curves you could just hack at with a tablesaw.
Oak is shit, it splits and shakes, hope it's not a a one piece body and is two/three at least.
In which case a decent jigsaw with a good blade would do it, @axisus. The alternative is the cheapo Clarke bandsaw they sell in machine mart. Very basic, portable-ish, but works ( I use one on all my builds)
