So at 6’5” where does “The Iceman” Salinger rank?
Whos the tallest - Macey, Big Ben or Makalamby?
How do they rank from tallest to Andy McNeil :) - or was “Lofty” deceptively small?
ok my self-imposed nae googling rule I’m guessing
Macey Makalamby, Ben. I don’t really know!
Makalamby was about 4ft when he jumped!Quote:

ChatGtp is pish but gives a flavour.

Macey without googling
Used to kick the ball 100 yards but all vertical up in the air used to travel about 40 yards
Best goalie imo Goram wasn’t that tall
Morten Hydlgaard was 6’6”
Definitely matey, but will never forgive him for not going up, when we had a last minute corner, even if the manager didn't want him to go up for it, he should have went up, yes,I'm still raging about it 🤣
And about 2 feet wide - Schmeichel Snr - esque. And yet confusingly would let the ball go through him!Quote:

Presume Goram must have been out smallest modern day keeper? Or maybe Burridge?

Loved Goram but Leighton the way he resurrected his career was brilliant
Both were brilliant thought Goram had the edge with the ball at his feet the pass back rule didn’t help Leighton but you are correct don’t think Leighton got enough credit after Dundee and Man United going on to win his Scotland place back with Hibs and being capped 23 times as a Hibernian playerQuote:

How tall was Jim McArthur? Not quite modern day I suppose but I recall him being small for a goalie?Quote:

Conrad Logan was 6’10” tall…lying on his back. :greengrin
further (Wikipedia - never wrong for long) checks do point to that. Further adding to the pish that AI promotes.Quote:

Refusing to believe Rocky was 6’4”
Anyone can put anything in Wiki
Sofascore have him as 6’1”
Think I will go with that
35 now btw
Just goes to show the pish that’s out there on the interweb - Abe Lincoln was tweeting of the dangers of not believing everything you read in the internet the other day…
6 4 when he had shellys 👠 onQuote:
