Was the back four who finished the last game, the tallest ever to grace a premier league match?

Burn, Dunk, Duffy and Webster

We still couldn't get a head on a corner, either attacking or defensively ... but sniping aside, I'd be surprised if it wasn't and surprised if you could find a definitive answer

Send it in as a question to the Guardian's "the knowledge" feature.

No we didn't. Duffy didn't feature at all against Saints.

We finished the game at Norwich, with a back 5, of those four AND Bernardo....

My mistake, it was against Burnley back in September. I remember thinking at the time it was a weird line up, now it seems quite ordinary compared to others we've seen this season.

Ryan, Webster, Duffy, Dunk, Burn, Gross, Propper, Stephens, March, Murray Maupay

Propper is sneaky tall.

He doesn't look out of place in that company...








...unlike Ryan

BDB headed away from a corner I’m sure of it

Dunk, Webster, Burn and Duffy plus little Ryan, would make a great coxed four in Rowing

We've been shrinking. 5 years ago we were midtable in the tall list. Last season only three squads were shorter. Now this:

However, a lot of our squad given their age are still growing

West Ham being so low on that list is surprising, with giants like Soucek, Zouma, Aguerd and Alvarez
