Marseille have just signed a 19 centre back, Isaak Touré from Le Havre (where we signed Boozy), for 5million euro. Very highly rated player, but main feature is he's 6 foot EIGHT, 2 metres 4 cm. I was just surmising if he played against Jamie McCluskey he'd have 17 inches on him, Jamie could probably just have run right through his legs
Can anyone think of any ridiculously tall players we've had, particularly outfield? (Macey is the most obvious example). Big Amadou was 6 3", cant think of many others.

Colin Nish was probably about 6’3” but had the unique talent of being 5’7” when he jumped

One of the things we miss with Doidge not in the team is his height when defending set pieces.
Ok he’s not that tall, but he rises like an oak tree which is worth a few more inches.

Chipped in with a fair few goals though, with feet and head. 👍

Nishy’s height was his biggest curse because it made you think he was something he wasn’t.
Whilst he could certainly frustrate at times, he was an effective player when you played it into his feet and got support up around him.
Ballooning it up to his head with nobody near him (as we seemed to do quite frequently) then he was as useless as most players are with that level of service.
We’ve had worse front lines than Nish, Riordan and Stokes and on his day he could hold his own with the other 2.
Some of the abuse he got at times was ridiculously uncalled for.

On the subject of Nish, mind he scored an absolute belter away at Dundee United, think it was a half volley from about 25-30 yards out - might’ve scored 2 that day actually yet still contrived to miss an absolute sitter the same game.
