Unan Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yes far too short, that's why there were 5 of him in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted September 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Mike Gibson was only about 5ft 8in - and he was brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 My mate was an excellent keeper at 5'9" - ex-Southampton and later combined forces goalkeeper and basket ball player. Big hands and an even bigger leap ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 For the modern era yes, but not back then. As well as Gibbo, Laurie Sivell of Ipswich was only 5'8" and the brilliant Kevan Keelan at Norwich couldn't have been much taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thing is the fact it is easy to thing of the counter-examples of short keepers shows in itself short keepers are unusual. It clearly is not impossible for a short keeper to succeed but it is nonetheless surely a disadvantage and you'd need to have an extra edge to your game to overcome the height disadvantage. I'm guessing that Ashton did not have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
