Kearney. He spikes his hair to give him an extra few inches but he's fooling no one
And he's crap.
Yep, Mark Devlin.
Also played for Galway and I think Bohs at one stage.
Damien Rushe, midfeild for Athlone up to this season
(away in Oz at the mo) isnt the tallest either.
Stewie Connolly (Tranmere,Bray, Athlone, Dundalk) was short
enough too as far as I can remember
I was wondering how long it would take until someone started this thread :)
Derek Glynn is fairly small but there are probably smaller.
Paul Masterson who played for Pats in the early 90s (last seen with wayside I think) was probably the smallest person I've ever seen playing any sport.
"Digger" O'Brien
Chris Kingsberry - he makes Kearney look like a grown- up
Tommy Keane (GUFC Legend in the late 80's early 90's) was tiny. He wasn't much over 5ft.
Anyone remember Tommy Byrne, he played one season for us (Sligo Rovers). Now he was small.
Raff Cretaro is small enough...
we have a few in our squad,
James Doherty, Barry Curran, Conor Gethins, but the one who wins hands down would have to be Conors brother Alan he is tiny. The Sj.Johnstone lads were asking can they eat the baby on sunday :p
Davy Williamson who used to play for Bray and Bohs was tiny (and brutal !)
Stephen Quigley (Li'l Quigo/Mini-Quigo/Classic Quigo), now sadly on the transfer list:(, is more elf than man. Weighs about 4 stone.
Brian Gannon, now of Monaghan I think, is tiny too.
I stand corrected but I think Davy Williamson and the aforementioned Tommy Byrne played together in midfield for Sligo Rovers.Quote:
Davy Cwho used to play for Bray and Bohs was tiny (and brutal !)
I would suggest Brayunknowns that Williamson was the smallest player to ever play football.
Sorry, made a mess of the quote. i'll try again.

Barry curran - does he play right side m/f for finn harps ? if its him he had a great game in oriel a few weeks ago - def one of the smallest players i have ever seen - the shorts up around his neck is a great trick - gives the impression he`s rubbish - far from it - he was one of the best on the park !
Mo Farrell and Franco aint giants but I'm sure that there are others smaller, seeing so much of Clive Delaney has disrupted my ability to judge between tall and small:D
Barry Clancy who plays out left for us. Seriously he is tiny.
Kingsberry.
Ciarán Kavanagh, our record appearance holder, was about 2"3', I think. He still won every header going. Had a year or two at Dundalk winding down his career around 2001.
Eddie McCallion is small, as is Gareth McGlynn
I think that might have more to do with the fact that he's a bit of a knob though, micls.
Kildare Lad - is Clancy shorter than McCrossan? :eek:
McCrossan is a beast in comparrison!
Was Lee King really 5'2" like the song said?
