[RU66]

You need to retire your tape measure flower, whichever Louie is being discussed.

Nice one! I'm x factored!

We lost a decent header of the ball in Michael Smith 6 feet 3 inches, who could also jump,
so ok for RU66 & his tape measure.
Jordan Hugill 5 feet 11 inches below RU66 measurement line, at this height Hugill should be
winning some aerial duels, but he does not seem to be able to jump.

But a centre-forward has not got to be 6 feet plus, look at Uwe Seeler, Hamburg & West
Germany international, at 5 feet 7 inches.
I had the privilege of seeing Uwe Seeler twice playing for West Germany, at Hillsborough in
the 1966 World-Cup tournament.
Uwe Seeler was renowned for his aerial ability which I witnessed during the matches I saw
him play in.

Played for German team Hamburg - 476 appearances with a return of 404 goals
International games for West Germany - Under 18's - 10 apps with a return of 15 goals
Full International games for West Germany 72 apps with a return of 43 goals.

What?s he doing these days, ELK?

I’d hazard a guess at an inexperienced lad from Everton’s huge academy but is that what we want (unless he’s ultra rapid)? Warne’s old fancy Kyle Joseph can’t get in the Hull team and could do us a job.

Hull City have brought in ex-Blades player Oli McBurnie

Plus they have re-signed Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt on-loan, after he
was on loan to them last season.
Both scored today in Hull City's 3-2 home win against Oxford United.

But Kyle Joseph has had injury problems, in which he played the second half of 2024-25 season
with a ankle injury.
He has had surgery on the ankle early this summer 2025, Hull City paid 2.5m pounds for the
23 year-old player from Blackpool.
Talking at the end of July 2025, the player said he had been having the ankle problem for
18 month's to 2 years.
So could be the Millers looking at him being a no-no.

Uwe Seeler died 21st July 2022 aged 85 years

Still more mobile than Hugill

I know I'm wasting my breath, but just for Gru,2 of our best ever forwards, were around 5"8,Mark Robins and Alfie.

You are, because you'll now get told that Robins was barely 5' 4".

[CAMiller]

You are, because you'll now get told that Robins was barely 5' 4".

...and at just 4' 11" Bobby Williamson wasn't too shabby either.

Actually, Robbo is 5 foot 7 inches.

[Brin]

...and at just 4' 11" Bobby Williamson wasn't too shabby either.

At 5 feet 10 inches having played 93 games and scored 49 goals he was without doubt one of our most prolific strikers.

Load of rubbish having to be 6 feet + to be a striker.

You may have skirted past the magic eye tape measure discussion where (as one example) Minto was about the same height as Hursty.
