Tallest/Shortest Albion XI

[Jimbo26]

Tallest must be 6' plus

Smallest must be 5' 10" or smaller

 

[Horsham Gull]

Dean Cox 5ft 4" must be one of the smallest albion players ever

 

[bhaexpress]

The Poison Dwarf for the shortest. Lorenzoa Peidemonte was a great big useless lump (as was Gavin Geddes) and Mick Ferguesson was no dwarf. Steve Foster was pretty tall but Peter O'Sullivan wasn't that big.

 

[sir danny cullip]

Dirk Lehman he was pretty tall wasnt he?

 

[Djmiles]

I remember reading in my Albion book that Chaigneau (spelling?) was our tallest ever player at 6 ft 6 or something like that.

 

[Gully]

Shortest:

Danny Wilson
Neil Smillie
Ian Chapman

Tallest:

Eric Young
Peter Smith

I am struggling a bit as most of our players have been just average, not that many stand out at either end of the height chart.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

big dave beasent was pretty errrr.........big

 

[Braders]

the current 11 minus the likes of Butters and Michel must be pretty short?

 

[Gerbil]

Paul Dickov.

 

[Caveman]

Paul McDonald was fairly small.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Rodney Thomas on the opposite wing to Dean Cox.

 

[Del Boy]

the current 11 minus the likes of Butters and Michel must be pretty short?

And Bas and Revell and Hammond...

 

[Frutos]

Definitely Florent Chaigneau in goal on the tall side.

 

[Yorkie]

Definitely Florent Chaigneau in goal on the tall side.

As was Shabaan.

 

[Silent Bob]

Henderson?
Watson? ?? ?? Chapman
Cox Oatway Wilson Thomas
Knight Robinson


Chaigneau
Smith? Dolan Santos ??
?? ?? Hammond? ??
McCammon Savage​

Struggling to think of any really big midfielders.

 

[Djmiles]

Just got my Albion book out, and Chaigneau is indeed the tallest ever player to play for us.

Chaigneau 6ft 6ins
McCammon 6ft 5ins
Yeldell 6ft 5ins

Nothing about smallest players though!

 

[vulture]

What about that little ginger full back Bernie Gallagher.

 

[Titanic]

Brian Powney must be in the running for shortest goalkeeper.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Good call for Powney &, from the same era, Henderson at RB so...

1 Powney
2 Henderson
3 Rents
4
5 Gall (Norman)
6
7 Thomas (Rod)
8 Ward (Peter)
9 Dickov
10 Thomas (Mickey)
11 Cox

Shortest Albion XI has to be my 1983 Subbuteo side.
