Leaburn

Was 'only' 6'3''. His skinny gangly frame made him look about 8ft.

After his substitute appearance against Bristol City Nick Pope at 6' 5"

Hermann was 6'4" wasn't he? Probably the tallest I can remember.

francis4england

Greg Halford has got to be close to 6'5"

Nicholas

Jason Lee when he had his pineapple up

I'm sure Nick Pope is smaller than Hamer?

Shipperley?

70s centre half Dave Shipperley wasn't exactly short.

O-Randy-Hunt

Hermanator was my first thought

Bugger. My fannying around peeling an orange cost me dear.

It was Mike Kearns (definitively - I had it checked by the great Colin Cameron) - but Nick Pope now has the crown

Big William

I thought it was Halford, although I'm pleased if anyone can stop him getting a record for anything at all.

Anyone remember Johnny Harrison? Made Solly look like Duncan Ferguson.

mattaddick

Harrison was the smallest player ever to play for Charlton - 5" 2 and 3/4 I believe though I ain't checked his precise height

6' 41/2" according to wiki

What position was this Harrison?

Surely someone at school told him "you'll never make it son, you're too small"

mattaddick

I think he was a kind of old fashioned right half who sometimes played full back - didn't make many appearances

He was a winger if I remember rightly. He didn't play much and there was another little (slightly bigger) bloke called Alan Hart around the same time who I used to mistake him for and vice versa so I could be wrong!

man_at_milletts

Johnny Harrison was a winger, and bloody nippy too.

Absurdistan

Chris Solly

Little Johnny Harrison once nutmegged (ex-England, then playing for Coventry, centre half) Larry Lloyd, not with the ball, but by running (!) through his legs!

harveys_gardener

Connor Gough 6'6" (now 6'7")
