This might help: Stephen Hawes (small) – ultra bab Andy Brown (tall) – ultra bab To Andy, Stephen (if you’re reading, perhaps have been drawn here by Ben’s fame or one of Patty’s streams, much love to you both x).
I remember a few years ago when some I know was doing his coaching badge at Lilleshall. That was in the days of Charlie Hughes’ and POMO, where Watford was the benchmark. (You might need to look up Hughes and his theories) John Barnes was doing a rehabilitation course after an injury. Looking round Barnes observed to a coach that all these young lads were bigger than him. The coach told him that if you were small you wouldn’t get in. “That would have been tough **** for Maradona”:said Barnes before walking off shaking his head.
The day I am as clueless as you I will worry.Surprised you can think of football when there is a war going on in Yemen,
Talking of short arses; late 60s a now deceased work mate was an apprentice on the books of Derby County, this is a story he loved to tell; towards the end of the season Cloughy called him into the office to tell him that he was letting him go because ''you're a tidy player but, you're just too short son'' - my mate was heartbroken, especially when a few weeks later Cloughy bought Archie Gemmill who, as my mate loved to say, ''that bastard was half an inch shorter than me!!'' - he'd later tell you that Gemmill was one of the best midfielders he'd ever seen. RIP 'appy, it was a great story.
