Higgnett was not too tall either as I recall he musta been **** also, Brian Howard was not exactly a giant either...he musta been **** too I guess. Come to think of it Ronnie Glavin was not that much bigger than a Hobbit...he just has to have been **** as well it seems.
Re: Higgnett was not too tall either as I recall Jacob Butterfield isn't very tall either. Neither is Lionel Messi.
Can't see how height matters really - BUT - With him and Perkins in middle the opposition will be stood saying..... 'How far away are they......'
The point though is that Keith Hill has relentlessly pursued this player, who obviously fits into his longer-term plans, maybe be even as next season's captain, as he is skipper at Os now. If Hill rates him that highly, I would think he is going to prove his worth. If Hill didn't rate RVT, but turned him into a top Championship player in six months, what will he be able to do with a player he does rate? This could be one of Hill's best signings. It would be nice to see him play before March, if he gets over his current injury.
