    Don’t care what the wiki stats say you just have to look at him to see he is what I said on the small side for keeper

    Hes stocky with it as well. Makes Bass look like a stick insect?

    I think and hope he’s going to be a cracking keeper.

    It’s not wiki it’s soccerbase and Transfermarket two independent websites who have him at that and as he was at a PL club for so many years I’m sure it’s fairly accurate. I also say him have a chat with Songo’o pre Derby game who’s not small and he’s comfortably bigger than him. You can’t accept been wrong can you.

    Lewis is actually a full inch taller than ROD as well, yet I don't recall Park saying anything about him being small for a keeper.

    City site says he's 191cm, or 6 foot 3.

    Maybe you were looking at him from a distance?

    Paul Tomlinson 188cm
    Richard O 'Donnell 188cm
    Gary Walsh 191cm
    Jon McLaughlin 191cm
    Matt Clarke 193 cm
    Colin Doyle 196 cm

    I don't think we can call him a goalkeeper on the small side.

    Some on here will remember City coming up, on numerous occasions, against Reading's legendary goalkeeper Steve Death. After making one appearance for West Ham, he went on to make over 500 appearances for Reading, won 4 player of the year awards and won 2 PFA divisional awards.

    Not bad for someone who was just 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) tall. Now that is a bit on the small side.

    Remember Stockport having a small keeper in the 90's.

    I remember Les Green at Derby in the 70's, 5'8" I think he was, cracking keeper though

    Iker Casillas was 5'11. Great goalkeeper. Fabio Cannavaro was a cracking centre back. He was 5'8. Probably Peter Crouch got knocked back in his career many times because he was too tall. Loads of footballers who were told they were too small to make it, became greats in the game (Messi, Zola, ...even Roy Keane). David Silva originally started out as a goalie :)

    Size doesn't matter if you've got the skills (as I've reminded the Mrs plenty of times).
