Tallest Footballer
Peter Crouch is the tallest professional footballer in the Uk at 6ft 7.
Recently signed to Liverpool for £7 million, he is worth over £30,000 per centimetre.
Graeme Taylor says of Crouch:
“Everyone simply talks about his height, because he’s 6ft 7in, as if that’s all there is to him. But I can assure everyone he is very good technically and his touch will be as good as the other Liverpool players, there is no doubt about that.
“He’s had to live with jibes about his height and I’m so pleased for him because this boy can play.”
“Look at his touch, look at his passing, look at his control, how he lays people in, how he holds off defenders, that’s the sort of player we are talking about.”
“There are too many people who will not look at him just because he’s very tall. But look at Jan Koller, one of the best Czech strikers around – he’s 6ft 7in too.”
There are at least 12 professional footballers 6′6 or above in england. Crouch isnt even tallest in the premiership
