Forget where I sourced this

"What do Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona and Brazil’s Pele have in common besides being international superstars and most likely in the Top 10 list of all-time soccer greats? They are all short.
Messi is 5′ 6.5″
Maradona is 5′ 5″
Pele is 5′ 8″
I hate it when I hear coaches place so much emphasis on size and height. Emphasis on speed I can understand. I also think height is important for a goalie. But to dismiss or overlook a player because of his/her physical stature is a huge mistake. Size does not matter!

Over the years, I have found many reasons why size is not important:

Shorter players have a lower center of gravity, making it much easier to dribble, make fakes and feints, and change direction.
Never underestimate the toughness of a short player. These players are usually tougher and more physical than taller players".

Surprised Pele is so short, I knew the other 2 were knee high to a grasshopper but always thought of Pele as being taller.

MJ can be no taller than 5ft 4" and certainly has the skills to play higher.

Wiki says Jay is 5'10" !!

Perhaps it's tougher to make it as a shorter footballer, so only the exceptionally gifted ever do.

Just seen the highlights from the Bolton game. Some exquisite stuff there from Matty! Such a shame Bowman couldn't convert that chance he had first half when he hit the post after more dynamic Jay stuff.

Pele had one helluva leap on him, no matter what his height.
Was brutalised out of the 1966 by Hungary : they kicked the shyte out of him. IIRC he couldn't finish the game.
