Plays in various positions, as does Hendrie and ex Burnley so fits on several levels.


He can play CB but he's only 5'10 which isn't great

Breaking news guys: players can play in more than one position.

We lost two fullbacks in Hall-Johnson and Fox and only have two recognised full backs in the squad. We need more, whether they’re predominantly right or left sided.


Yes but for a player who can play in CB , being 5'10 isn't great

Size clearly doesn't effect him if he's mannaged to become a pro and play that position in a professional team

Players were a good deal smaller in the days of Baresi and Moore, but the other two are good examples. You can add Andy Todd to that list. It's certainly easier for central defenders who are physically more imposing, not least because referees tend to let them shove forwards around with impunity, but it's not the be all and end all of defending.

Oddly enough, I'd say the reverse is true for full-backs who tend to be a bit cumbersome if too tall. I'd personally say 5'10" is about the ideal maximum for a full-back!

Interesting point that. Dean Crombie was LB but for a long time before that he was CB until he swapped with Kevin Moore, who was the reverse. Both were about the same height, about 5'10".

On the other hand, wingers often make good full backs and tend to be smaller. John McDermott played LW when he started. Tony Ford was a more than decent RB, Terry Cooper was another winger.

Mascherano is 5' 9" and didn't do too bad at CB for Barcelona.

If you are good enough, other statistics don't matter. Danny Rose at Mansfield is 5' 8" but out jumps many defenders at this level.

Kev Moore won everything in the air and got distance on it. Sadly, it probably contributed to illness and untimely death.
