Tallest ranked Hibs keepers

[Viva_Palmeiras]

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!

ChatGtp is pish but gives a flavour.

Rocky didn’t seem to be that tall at all in my opinion.

I’m 6’4” and I thought I was a fair bit bigger than him.

[BILLYHIBS]

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

[EHZERO7]

Morten Hydlgaard was 6’6”

[at last 61]

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 🤣

Morten Hydlgaard was 6’6”

And about 2 feet wide - Schmeichel Snr - esque. And yet confusingly would let the ball go through him!

Did he even play a game for us? I don't remember ever seeing him play for Hibs.

[Thatdayinmay16]

Andy McNeil must have been taller than all of them.

[DaveF]

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

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 player

Welcome back any time

He played in the festival cup or whatever it was called at the time.

Glorified pre-season friendlies. I thought he was good but I was pretty young at the time so what do I know.

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

[Donegal Hibby]

Tommy younger was the same height as Smudge .. 6’1 .

[gbhibby]

Mike McDonald was a tall lad as well something like 6 2. Made sure he got the balls when he came off his line.
