A TALL ORDER FOR ANY CROSSES

 Well, that lad can jump as high as he likes, but Simon Bloch Jorgensen is not going to lose the cross! The very tall, 6'10.5", Danish GK might struggle with low shots though. He trialled with Everton but now he is on Non-League Dulwich Hamlet's books having been at Whitehawk, Accington Stanley, Waltham Forest, Flensburg, not staying long at any club. The Giant Dane confirms the biological evolution of tall people being best suited to flat countries! Any Masai Warriors about playing footy?

Tonny Brogaard at 2.06m 6'9" was another GK at Doncaster Rovers who only played once the regular keeper, Andy Warrington, broke his leg. He is now playing in the Danish Second Division with Greve IF.

Vanja Ivesa of Eskisehirspor, Croatia will be playing with this little fellow, as they line up before the game. He is 6'8.5" (2.05m).


Peter Crouch is a midget at 2.01 (6'7"), granted his team mate is not the tallest!

Jason Mooney, below, from N.Ireland, a journeyman footballer at York, Accrington Stanley again, Tranmere Rovers and Cliftonville is 6'8" 2.04m.

The average height of a footballer is apparently 5'9".

Other long 'uns are:
Kristof van Hout, a Belgian GK, who started with Standard Liege and now plays in the Pro-League with KVC Westerloo...2.08m (6'10") reputedly the tallest, but.....
AND
 This is Paul Millar, a Scot who is 6'10" and plays for Elgin City, who had to heighten their doors to the ground to get him out of the changing rooms. Paul is a fireman full time with the RAF at Kinross. On me head son!

There is also Lacina Traore of Ivory Coast origins, who comes in at 6'8" and is a one for the future. This 23 year old is presently playing and scoring for Anzhi Makhachkala in the Russian League, with scouts keeping their eyes and ears open.
