The Premier League short XI
So tiny, even Shaun Wright-Phillips didn’t make the cut!
After hearing about the Brazilian dwarf team Giants of the North, we at The Spoiler decided to compile a list of Premier League players most suited to play the short-but-valiant side.
So here are the players least likely to trouble a defence when they go up for corners:
Goalkeeper Jimmy Walker (West Ham) 5ft 11in
Left-back Leighton Baines (Everton) 5ft 7in
Right-back Tony Hibbert (Everton) 5ft 8in
Centre-back Danny Gabbidon (West Ham) 5ft 9.5in
Centre-back Andy Todd (Derby) 5ft 10in
Left-winger Ross Wallace (Sunderland) 5ft 6in
Right-winger Aaron Lennon (Tottenham) 5ft 5in
Centre-mid Liam Miller (Sunderland) 5ft 6in
Centre-mid Paul Scholes (Manchester Utd) 5ft 7in
Striker Carlos Tevez (Manchester Utd) 5ft 6in
Striker Jermain Defoe (Portsmouth ) 5ft 7in
Note: Shaun Wright-Phillips was nudged out of the side by Aaron Lennon, who stands a full half-inch below him.
