Bless 'em all the long and the short and the .......tallest Rovers player ever must surely be Jan Budzt, and the shortest could be Simon Gillett...................

Correct me if I'm wrong!

Strictly speaking, he never played for the first team, although he was on the bench numerous times.

Matty Caudwell must have been one of the smallest.

John Doolan? I would never have dared called him broad in the beam when he was at Rovers though!

Tubby Smith (or whatever he was called ) - the sunday league goalie who played once in the infamous 1997-8 season?

And the great Alick Jeffrey was quite portly in his last couple of seasons

... Wasn't Matty Cauldwell shorter than Gillet? He only seemed to be about 4ft 8\"

Just checked the above and apparently Matty Caudwell was 5ft 6\". He certainly never seemed that tall

Nev Southall was carrying a few extra pounds when he played for us - that's for sure

Archie Irvine was quite short wasn't he? Bremner would also have been one of the shorter ones to play for us. Mind you, the teams of over a hundred years ago would have had nuch smaller players probably.

Tonny Nielson did play in a cup game against Notts County and cost us the game with a couple of howlers, Penney fecked him off after that, total shyte.
