    Would have him on the right and move Jarosik in the middle then.

    Also, * * didn't realise Morten was that size either! Cracking player but never thought of him as giant.

    Moyes was tall and skinny when with us so probably made him look taller.

    Rambo again tall. Gary Gillespie was a beanpole. Paul Elliot and Pearce O'Leary.

    Willo Flood small and ugly bless him.

    Seen them standing next to each other? :icon_mrgreen:

    Donati was 6 foot. Wanyama people seem to guess between 5'10 and 6'2. * knows with him.

    According to wiki which is probably wrong, as it is with wanyama, Donati was about 6'2/3

    Just saw a team photo where he's standing between Caldwell who was 5'11/6'0 and Mcmanus who is 6'2 and he's about the same height as mcmanus, maybe half an inch smaller

    He is the smallest player I can remember, played against him a couple of times when we were young gave me a proper roasting couldn't get near him to kick him.

    Broto seemed small for a keeper.

    Commons is about 5'6 so he has to rank with the smallest players ever to pull on the Hoops, along with Jinky and McLaughlin.

    Tallest to ever play for us, as mentioned, must be Forster, Sutton, Varga and the likes. Honestly don't remember Varga being that tall when he was here, but looking at that picture, he's easily about 6'4.

    Rabiu Ibrahim must have been one of the smallest players ever to play for us, looked about 5ft.
