The shortest Albion team, possible.

[Stat Brother]

Probably been done a few times, in close season, but hey-ho.
The forgotten player thread, reminded me of our teeny-weeny front line.

Obviously Dean Cox, on the wing.
Sending in high crosses for Mark Flatts and Paul Dickov.

I guess although I maybe wrong, but Nicky Rust, in goal?

Anyone else, who would be our shortest centre half combination?

 

[Titanic]

Leon Knight up front.

Leon Knight would be in the middle. Flatts can play on the other wing.

David Gipp was probably smaller than any of them.

I doubt we've had many shorter centre backs than El Abd, tbh.

ah fabulous, I'd forgotten the posion dwarf, reverting back to the days when it was always sunny.

 

[Gritt23]

Charlie Oatway as the mini midfield enforcer.

 

[strings]

I seem to remember that Blayney was a fairly short keeper... or am I thinking of someone else - we had so many keepers over that 2 season period!

 

[Gwylan]

Neil McNab wasn't big

TBH, people were much smaller in the past so I'm sure you'd find some real shortarses if you went back to the early days of the Albion.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Were any of our guys shorter than Sammy Lee (5'2") or Zola (5'1")

 

[Titanic]

As centre backs go, Danny Cullip wasn't that tall.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Bernie Gallacher (sp? think that's the correct spelling though) at left back

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Marvelous! Our very own team of 'Manager's Midgets'.

Jumpers for goalposts, isn't it?

 

[medicine man]

Hart isn't that tall either. Remember playing Leicester a few seasons ago in the FOG, and either we were midgets, or they were GIANTS, it was that different- heighthwise, that is...

I think Brian Powney would be one of our smallest keepers.

 

[Titanic]

In goal, Brian Powney was brave and squat.

(and my favourite Albion goalkeeper of all time!)

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Wot no 'Denton Destroyer'??!

 

[Gwylan]

Tommy Mason was pretty small and wasn't Brian Powney quite small for a goalie? Shorter than Rust I'm sure

 

[Gav1901]

Jamie Smith ?

 

[Stat Brother]

Ok so that's:-

Powney
?? El Abd ?? ??
Flatts Oatway McNab Cox
Dickov Knight

That is shaping up to be a seriously 'arsey' team.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Poyet? Does he count?

 

[fosters headband]

Paul Flood and Tony Towner I don't think were that tall.
