[b]A team of lanky players who are
literally head-and-shoulders above any opposition they come up
against.
Konstantinos Chalkias
The Greek keeper had an unsuccessful spell at Portsmouth a couple
of years (well, time spent playing second fiddle to Sander
Westerweld can hardly be deemed successful, can it?). The 6ft 6in
was soon shipped back to Greece via a brief period in Spain.
Zeljko Kalac
The Leicester City flop is now the bench-warming keeper of AC
Milan. The Aussie is 202cm (6ft 7.5in) tall. He has earned the
nickname Spider due to his gangly legs, big armspan and the fact
that it is easier to pronounce than Zeljko.
Zat Knight
The Aston Villa centre-back is a relative midget in the team
standing at a mere 6ft 6in.
Dennis Lawrence
The Trinidad and Tobago international was a match for Peter Crouch
at the 2006 World Cup because of his 6ft 7in height (although
Lawrence is a little bulkier than Crouch). Lawrence can currently
be found skyscraping his way around Swansea.
Yang Changpeng
The stereotype-bashing Chinese striker was on trial at Bolton
earlier this year. As far as we know he is the tallest footballer
in the world at 6ft 9in tall (feel free to correct us if you know
better though).
Nicola Zigic
The 6ft 7.5in Croatian has moved to Valencia this summer after
spending the previous season in Spain with Racing Santander.
Peter Crouch
Yay! You had been waiting for him, hadn't you? Crouch is not the
tallest player in our side, but certainly the lankiest. The
robot-dancing striker might require a seat with extra legroom on
the Liverpool bench but his 6ft 7in frame gets him no sympathy
around here.
Kevin Francis
The Football League's iconic big man of the 1990s. Another 6ft
7
Jan Koller
The 6ft 7.5in Czech striker is a beast. Currently plying his trade
for Monaco, Koller is about as big a target as a targetman can
get.
Tor Hogne Aaroy
The Norwegian giant stands at 204cm (that is over 6ft 8in, oldies).
He started his career at Frigg (go on, allow yourselves that
schoolboy snigger you're dying to let out). He had a very brief
spell at Rosenborg before moving to Aalesunds where he still
plays.[/b]
is that picture for reaL??!
