[Albion] The long and the short

[Dolph Ins]

OK a bit bored this morning and so looked up our squad. The tallest were obvious, Duffy and Dunk but the shortest was a huge surprise to me (no not Matty). Dale Stephens! I had absolutely no idea.

If you are looking at wiki, he is not 5 ft 7 (unsurprisingly).

 

[Albion Dan]

Dale Stephens is shorter than Jose Izquerdo? I'm not having that!

Well you are wrong


José Izquierdo is the smaller than Dale.

Haha

Absolute nonsense.

Knockaert, Izquierdo, Kayal, Skalak are all comfortably shorter than Stephens. And probably half a dozen others, too.

 

[Albion my Albion]

I heard Dale just appears taller on telly. Jose hasn't been on telly as much so he appears shorter.

By the way i have also looked at their height stats in the past and age. Sad i know.

 

[n1 gull]

Stephens is 185cm which is over 6ft

 

[Dolph Ins]

OK according to the club website Stephens 169cm,Balldock 170, Jose 171, Skalak 177 and Kayal 178?

If you have seen Stephens on the pitch you will know he is about 6'

I know that was why I was flabbergasted when I saw the heights. I checked Seagulls, who scored and wikiped. It's very strange that the club have his height wrong. Medical team out.

The OP might be onto something here:-

 

[Chicken Run]

I am 5”9 and he is at least 2 inches taller than me

 

[Dolph Ins]

Stephens is 185cm which is over 6ft

sauce?

 

[Chicken Run]

I am 5’ 9” and having stood next to him can confirm he is at least 2” taller!

 

[n1 gull]

sauce?

I measured him when I met him in Costa coffee Hassocks

Maybe Stephens is never as far away as you think.

I don't know how Stephens's height got listed wrongly, but it has fooled Jeff Stelling, who was quoting him on Soccer Saturday as being only 5'7" earlier this season. He was laughed at when they showed clips of him in action, looking considerably taller.
