That's my height and my curse. People always think I am smaller.

I'm a bit more than that and my curse is that for all my adult life I've had old women telling me their grandson is taller than me and have never known what to say back...Congratulations? They usually add "He's 6 foot" to which the obvious reply is "Then he's four inches shorter isn't he?" but it seems to please them.

I'm 6ft 4 ins and every time I go into a supermarket you can guarantee at least one old (or small) lady will come up and ask if I could get them something down from the back of the top shelf - NOT the front but the back). I've got used to it now , and yes I do oblige.

I’m 6ft 6 ins and get the same requests. I used to live in Glasgow where there are very few 6 footers (average height 5ft 8ins). And could be greeted by complete strangers with “How’s it goin’ Big Man?”. Doesn’t happen in Edinburgh. Mind you, Edinburgh folk don’t speak to complete strangers!

A nickname counts as similar.I believe at least two of these had one. I won't say I wasn't alive when they played for us - as I was, but I was too young to know too much about them.

I think his current contract only runs until this Summer (1 year extension triggered last year) so technically, unless it's been extended again, he is free to talk to other clubs re a Summer move. However, if (for whatever reason) the club don't want to offer him an extension, and other PL clubs really do want him, we may decide (at the right price) to sell him (later in) this window.
 
to the tune of the link below

"they call him Yellow Willo"

yellow hair, yellow away-shirt, yellow card ( i cannot comment on the teeth ).


in the same Carded company as Zinedine Zidane, Roy Keane, and Sergio Ramos. A game-winner with a bit of an edge to his game.
