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.:wozza:

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.

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.

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.
