Russell latapy,chic charnley,mickey weir,kevin harper,

[JimboHibs]

Kevin McAllister

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

Alex Edwards was no giant

[SRHibs]

Kevin Harper

[Hermit Crab]

Mikey Weir, Willie Miller.

[Hermit Crab]

Jamie McClusky?? :greengrin

[nonshinyfinish]

Lofty McNeil!

[Inconsequential]

Andy Goram… well he was for a goalie.

[Dashing Bob S]

Michael Weir was certainly a star whose buttocks were no strangers to uncut grass.

[hibs#1]

Lewis.

[ehf]

There were a few in the Collins era; can't recall their names exactly, all young midfielders, mostly called Ryan something.

[Pete]

Chris Hogg, for a Centre half.

[Dr Hibs]

Chris Hogg, for a Centre half.
Jay Shiels.

[basehibby]

Mikey Weir, Willie Miller.

Willie Miller is not wee - about average height - 5'9" or 10" - but Mickey Weir would have got lost in a thick pile carpet - legend though - HE'S HERE - HE'S THERE - HE'S EVERY ****ING WHERE - MICKEY WEIR - MICKEY WEIR!:not worth:not worth:not worth

And my contribution to the list of Hibees short ***** is Jamie McCluskie - would have fit in Mickey Weir's top pocket

[joebakerforever]

Pat Quinn, whom I had the pleasure of seeing destroy the Yams @ Tynie, c.1967?

[Inconsequential]

Pa Kujabi :rolleyes:

[Hermit Crab]

Pa Kujabi :rolleyes:


He wasn't a good player, he never "stood tall" in the green and white.

[Inconsequential]

He wasn't a good player, he never "stood tall" in the green and white. Oops... you're right but some already mentioned weren't that great either...

[Forza Fred]

Johnny MacLeod and Pat Quinn were two of the best, but the wee-est surely was Johnny Grant , a diminutive right winger form the sixties...who ended up selling cars in South Africa, after starring out there on the football field..

[neil7908]

We prefer the term vertically challenged. Diminutive at a pinch

Rob Jones fits the description.

[Austinho]

Ooooh Zemmama Ooooh Zemmama

[Famous Fiver]

Bobby Johnstone.

End of thread.

[H18 SFR]

Philipe Morais

[PatHead]

Ronnie Simpson for goalie. Don’t remember him being very tall. Anyone got a full team yet?

Russell latapy,chic charnley,mickey weir,kevin harper,


Chic Charnley wasn't exactly a star for Hibs.

[we are hibs]

Stevenson was tiny when he first broke through

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Callum Milne
Joe T

[Doh Rae Me]

Crunchie must be a quarter inch taller so the accolade must go to Mickey Weir.

[Keith_M]

Crunchie must be a quarter inch taller so the accolade must go to Mickey Weir.


Mickey was sitting in the row in front of me at the Molde game. He's lost his hair now, so must be half an inch shorter than when he was playing.

[Pretty Boy]

Chic Charnley wasn't exactly a star for Hibs.

He’s 6ft as well.

[bythecringe]

Pat Quinn, whom I had the pleasure of seeing destroy the Yams @ Tynie, c.1967?

One from the dim and distant past - wee Johnny Grant who had a number of games for us in the early 60’s on the right wing. On a clear day you could just about see him from the top of the old terracing opposite the stand

[WHAM]

He’s 6ft as well.

I was just about to say that. Definitely can’t be classes in the same height bracket as Mickey Weir and Kevin Harper 😂

[cmcd]

Pat Quinn, whom I had the pleasure of seeing destroy the Yams @ Tynie, c.1967?

Yes Pat Quinn and the great Willie Hamilton

[Mick O'Rourke]

Been racking ma brains trying to remember his name.

Probably the smallest player i recall playing for us 1963/64
Scored one goal for the club at Brockville in a 4-1 win.
That is the game i had in mind when trying to recall his name, but i was only 12 !!
He stood out that day.
Head and shoulders above the opposition !

[The Pointer]

Kevin was behind us on 21/5/16 and I wouldn't have described him as being short-arsed, unless he was standing on his seat. But then maybe the delirium affected my judgement.

John Oneil, cracking wee player

[Stantons Angel]

what about Jimmy O'Rourke?

[WoreTheGreen]

Tony Higgins 6ft 2 but 5ft when going for a header

[Joe6-2]

Crunchie aka kevin mcallister

[Hermit Crab]

Riordan wasn't that tall was he? I can't remember.

[Vault Boy]

Dylan McGeouch wasn't winning many headers.

[Col_0762]

Wee Jay Jay was tiny

[Crazyhorse]

Who were the vertically challenged superstars who stood tall in the Green?

Joe and Gerry Baker were both small guys I think. I had the the pleasure of sitting chatting to Gerry one time and he seemed tiny to me. But people shrink a bit when they get old I guess.

What height did you used to be

[hibs#1]

Think he was reasonable tall at about 5'11. Might be wrong.

[Crazyhorse]

What height did you used to be

5'10" I'm 4'10" now.

Thanks for that. He was tiny right enough. I can remember clinging onto the pitch wall and watching him spinning by. He was one of those who'd have been a star maybe ten years later with better management.

Sir David Gray - rose like a salmon one special day 😉

First time I remember seeing him was actually from the very top of that terracing, in a New Year's day game against Hearts. All I could see ghosting around was a large white no 7 on a very flappy shirt. Think it finished 1-1.
