Smallest player in the league.

Barry Curran for Harps is tiny.Remember a lad called Devlin(I think) played for Longford and maybe Athlone.Cant have been much over 5 ft.

**micls** · 27/07/2007, 10:01 AM

Kearney. He spikes his hair to give him an extra few inches but he's fooling no one

**sfc red** · 27/07/2007, 10:05 AM

And he's crap.

For you.....but then again he didnt like ye and didnt wanna be there, sounds familiar actually same thing happening this year with Fenn.

We're starting to see the Kearney of old again before ye tried to ruin him and he's been great in his last few games

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

Nah, that was all a ploy to bring ye down from the inside sfc red.
Sure Heary has never gotten the better of him.

I doubt there's a shorter footballer in the league.

I was wondering how long it would take until someone started this thread

Derek Glynn is fairly small but there are probably smaller.

**Dodge** · 27/07/2007, 10:11 AM

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

**sonofstan** · 27/07/2007, 10:14 AM

Chris Kingsberry - he makes Kearney look like a grown- up

**GuisaSaigon** · 27/07/2007, 10:15 AM

Tommy Keane (GUFC Legend in the late 80's early 90's) was tiny. He wasn't much over 5ft.

**Redie** · 27/07/2007, 10:15 AM

Anyone remember Tommy Byrne, he played one season for us (Sligo Rovers). Now he was small.

Raff Cretaro is small enough...

True

**Sam_Heggy** · 27/07/2007, 10:45 AM

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

Yip def the winner I think.Inspired witty Journos to come up with "Defender xxx had masterson in his pocket.As a kiddie remember him playing up front with the talented Fran Hitchock for Home Farm.
O what a noble life we lead on foot.ie gentlemen.
