    Berbatov, Zlatan - also fairly useful and 6ft plus. Dennis was 6ft. Kanu 6ft 4 Were the invincible world-class? Yaya Toure 6ft 2

    (I did get the irony in the original post, btw, but made me think of which players have "quick/good feet for a big man")
    Robert Prosinečki and Zvonomir Boban - both 6ft. Also Niall Quinn - ok, I'll stop now

    Quinny could play once he had grown up a bit.

    Henry was 6 ft 2. He could play a bit

    I was going to include him, but Sir C would point out that he was an athlete not a footballer. Look at him being an athlete here

    Pires was also 6ft 1 - the gangling neanderthal

    If Henry hadn't been such a good footballer he would have scored more goals.

    That's one for red to unpick

    That's quite right. Alan Smith and Dennis and Robert Pires too.

    Which just goes to show you; whilst almost all footballers can play football; very few footballers can score over 300 goals.

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Telling Dennis Bergkamp that he didn't score enough goals is like telling Led Zeppelin they didn't have enough hit singles.

    They never got a number 1 in the charts though. (only abroad)

    Oh, no. He scored plenty. I meant, he would've scored even more had he been a worse player.

    Anyway, I've always been a Maiden-man. Hit singles are overrated.

    Havertz is 6ft 4 and would blow away in a strong wind. Henry had balance
