Hmmm. Adebayo Akinfenwa is listed as 5'11", 102kg, or 16 stone. I guess Stockdale is 5" taller, but I can't believe he's that close in weight to the self-appointed Beast. If you Google Stockdale, various other sources have him between 83 & 84 kg, which seems more realistic.
He's never the skinny sort, but equally, I think that stat absolutely has to be a typo.

It appears that you have done significant amounts of research in this area, Edna

Well, I typed "David Stockdale weight" into Google, and the same with Akinfenwa...

Father-of-three Stockdale, pictured with a cuddly toy, told supporters on his Instagram account: "Feeling upbeat this morning after good news from X Ray..... Billy has given me turtle power to to get back.
"Thanks for all the messages and I'll be back quick as possible. Lads and fans fantastic last night. Good clean sheet for Dunky too."

Thanks for sharing that. Nice to hear he's in good spirits and here's hoping he's back in action soon.
I think you're right, I'd estimate him to be around 13 and a half rather than 15. Possibly someone at the club on the wind up.

If you look at the Player Profile on the club's official site, it says he's 13st 4lb (84.3kg)

As DS said clean sheet for Dunk did he touch the ball after drop kicking it into their half. The obvious instruction from their bench should have been if within 40 yds have a poke. You never know against a non keeper. But they
didnt try and carried on trying to walk it in.

Good spot. I thought the same.
A couple of times they could have crossed it in and chose to try to dribble past Rosenior. Very amusing.

Your right, only minutes to go I know, but I too thought they would have at least had a pot shot from distance, as you say you never know how a 'non'goalkeeper' is going to react, but they seemed to have largely given up by then.

The good point is Maenapaa is a creditable and capable deputy and in the event that the club dont rate Ankergren to be on the bench the transfer window is still open.
Oh ****. We're going to get weeks of 'Shilton is out of contract, club have messed up not signing him' stuff............
Ah..all noted...just as a side thought...if you had a hairy back that would be fun getting someone to pull it off
I'm a bit of a neanderthal in relation to body hair. The bad news is this tape sticks like an absolute *******. No option other than to grit your teeth and rip it off. Stings like ****. Suggest not trying sticking any on any sensitive areas.

Or Lescott could play in goal?

I'd like to see what he has to offer because I think Stockdale will be a liability this season like last season. Stockdale can only save shots that are straight at him.

Yeah, i agree, Stockdale is useless. [emoji12]
