Who is some of de best shortest players allyuh ever see (under 6 feet)?

Some of them have to be Lionel Messi, Javier Fernández, Andrés Iniesta, Pele, Maradona, Russell Latapy, Carlos Tévez, Sergio Agüero, Samir Nasri, Hugo Sánchez and one of my favorite David Silva (Man City).

There is an attacker in Brazil who makes several of the above "tall". Cyah remember his name right now, but I almost started a thread about him a few months back.

Almost all the great ballers was under 6'
Esuebio, Muller, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Garrincha, Romario, Baggio, Zola,  the list too dam long

TT had a nice defender in the 90s Ainsley Weekes.

Injury finished him but what a fireball, he was a hard knocks, no nonsense defender. Beenie woulda make mas with a fella like he in 2006.

i is wonder about the player heights they is list.

sources have messi and some of them barca shorties around 5' 7". either they wrong or all them team they is be running rings around comprised of nba height players based on watching them when they lineup.

i see jorge campos close in real life. they used to call him 5' 9". i think he is more like 5' 6".

The majority of the worlds best footballers have very low centre of gravity

Best yuh ask who are the best players over 6 feet. Yuh will get a more filtered list

Great BIG players tend to be defenders with exceptions like

George Weah
Zizou
Di Stefano
Ibrahimovic (yes he great)
Socrates
Kempes
Steve David
Theodore Whitmore
