Tallest Team

[dontmakemeangry]

Being 6ft 8 myself i thought i would try and put together a team of giants that i have seen play.
I have left Norm Provan and that West bloke who was a kiwi and played for Wigan as i never saw them in person.
This is my team out of footbllers i've met or been close enough to judge.
The only one to look me right in the eye was Parra legendary fullback Phil Mann.

1. Phil Mann- 6ft7-8
2. Paul Hauff- 6ft6
3. Graham Bradley-6ft4
4. Andy Currier-6ft4
5. luke rooney-6ft4
6. John Sutton-6ft3
7. Trent Barrett- 6ft-1 surprisingly tall.
8. Brad Thorn- 6ft5
9. Rex Wright-6ft2
10. Matt Parsons- 6ft6
11. Willy Mason-6ft5-6
12. Mark Geyer-6ft5, another who surprised me with his height.
13. Andy Farrell-6ft4
These heights are in my estimation after meeting, or seeing them from 5 or 10 metres away.
I'm sure there are heaps more GIANTS that you can think of?

 

[aids]

pat richards and todd payten are pretty tall as well

 

[Mitchsu Danger]

[dontmakemeangry]

yes Richards would be a 6ft5er but payton would be just over 6ft.

 

[Raider_69]

Dane Tilse would be worth a shot in the front row, he is a shanty under 200cm

Peter Jackson was quite tall for a 5/8th.

Sironen would have been close to 6'4.

Ashley Graham is a streak of pelican.

The chief Paul Harragon would be 6'4.

What about the 2 iron, Peter Shiels? 6'5?

 

[Mr Saab]

sironen is 6'5

Ian Roberts is 6'6

Tom Learoyd Lahrs is 6'5

 

[Bobby DIGital]

I got Ian Roberts autograph when I was 10 and he's absolutely gigantic.

I also got up close to Sironen during a pitch invasion in a 1990 test match (I was 9) in wellington and he's amazingly huge as well.

The size of these two men will forever live on in my memory.

 

[MONY]

What about Tommy Raudonikis - he always walked tall on the field...
