Gordon Strachan. Not very tall but trained hard on a diet of porridge and bananas. Lasted a very long time thanks to getting his oats every morning of life..

I think Diego Maradona qualifies spectacularly on both counts.

Didn't remember him as particularly small but just googled it and 5 7" is way smaller than most modern defenders. Bet he added an inch like most footballers do and was actually 5 6".

Shame he finished before Peter Crouch arrived- that would have been good to watch.

And a few other places but I meant it would have been good to watch Parker playing at centre half and marking Crouch. I'd have bet on Parker coming out on top but Crouch would get those all important flick ons!
