CB
CB

RM - JCR
LM - JASON COOK / JAY SMITH
CM - RUSS WILLIAMSON

Any other dwarfs from the past are welcomed.

:thump: :cry:

 

[Leeboy]

AT - Ben Abbey

 

[EastStandBlue]

Jay Smith has to be included...

Also, as far as Centre Backs go, Barrett isn't exactly the tallest and Hammell is actually quite small.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Ben Abbey up front. Nicky Nic (or indeed Chris Powell?) at left back, Adam Barrett at centre back, Mark Beard at right back...

Matt

 

[DTS]

Sorry lads cant accept Barrett he aint really small is he...Sure there are smaller ones out there......Hammell is small but not as small as Nicky Nic.

 

[fbm]

Dave Cunningham (mid) who played in the 70's was pretty small IIRC.

 

[C C Csiders]

As a GK Phil Pritchard who we had on loan from Stoke about 20 years ago, was far shorter than Darryl. He wasn't too bad a 'keeper TBH.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

Mark Beard at right back...

Matt

I thought Beardo was a dwarf but cross-checked it in Soccerbase and they have him down as 5'7, is that short enough to qualify for this?

How about Moussa for the subs bench?

 

[fbm]

And Steve Phillips up front - I think he's smaller than Roach.

 

[RobM.]

Pat Scully wasn't big for a central defender.

 

[C C Csiders]

You could make a case for Alex Burns up front.

Micky Bodley wasn't the tallest centre-half in history, and neither was Paul Clark.

 

[CC51DAS]

Peter Butler and Anton Otulakowski weren't exactly tall if I remember correctly

 

[CC51DAS]

Peter Butler and Anton Otulakowski weren't exactly tall if I remember correctly

Nor was Ron Pountney .

Who was that little bloke we got from Wimbledon ? - about 5' 1" IIRC - was that Williamson ?

 

[Firestorm]

Mark Hall

known as four foot F**k hall.

The Shortest person I have seen between the sticks for the Blues was Peter Taylor . I don't recall Eric Steele being particularly tall

Micky Stead ?

 

[canveyshrimper]

You could make a case for Alex Burns up front.

He was tall sideways I think.

Steve Phillips (already called), Billy Best wasn't the tallest either. Owen Simpson had no neck so that reduced his 5' 4" considerably, think he may have been shorter than Nicky Nic.

Can't recall Stuart Brace being land of the giants material either.

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

Scott Houghton
Carl Pettefer
Luke Guttridge

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

As a GK Phil Pritchard who we had on loan from Stoke about 20 years ago, was far shorter than Darryl. He wasn't too bad a 'keeper TBH.

.and his nickname was "Inch". Oooo er missus.

 

[canada shrimper]

how about richard cadette up front.i don't think he was very tall

 

[* ORM *]

Matt Harrold is short on ball control :p

 

[Beefy]

According to Wikipedia, Mark McNally was only 5'9". I doubt we've had too many shorter centre-halves than that.
