Klidje

Klidge is

Wasn’t a certain Gordon Strachan deemed “too wee” many years ago? Ability is what counts.

'Mickey' Edwards was a giant?
Alongside 'Sodjer'?
Won't mention Last minute Lawrie( all 5ft 7 of him.)

 

[HibeeHibernia]

In this modern age though..he is too small.

I thought that when we signed him.
We obviously signed him to improve and sell to a bigger team.

Not many players in bigger leagues have a player thats so short.
I mean obviously there is the odd exception,players with incredible skill.

Lionel Messi is 5ft7

Ah that old myth. Whataloadashite.

I remember one of Falkirk’s youth coaches telling a collection of local teams and coaches he would never have a small GK. My team’s GK aged about 10 sitting next to me listening. The wee-est GK in our league and probably the best GK in the league.
Falkirk’s coaches were complete fuds that day.
Oh the GK grew up to be 6’2”.

Do you see Klidge growing that much preseason?
Whataloadashite.

Lionel Messi is 5ft7

Thats why I said odd exception.

Klidje isn't a goalie so it's not important.

 

[Zab]

Klidje is the same height as Maeda, for those in the “too wee in the modern age” crowd.

Height is the least important physical attribute.
Plenty of short players are above and beyond anything the SPL has ever seen, never mind being good enough for Hibs.

Klidje may or may not be good enough, I'm still undecided. But his height doesn't come into it.

FFS he was better than Bowie in the air.

I’d probably bet he could outjump Colin Nish

Shorter after jumping! Only player ever

 

[SuperTortolano]

Wee Crunchie another fine example of "too small" meaning fuck all. Fabio Cannavaro another who might have something to say about it.

[Bofahibee]

And let’s not forget that Pa Kujabi was only 5’8” and he w…

Oh bugger.

 

[paigntonhibby]

What height was Goram?

Too big for his boots

 

[Cavalier]

Too big for his boots

But they were old and they were beautiful, and their colours they were fine

Not by Hibs or Dundee where he eventually started his outstanding career.

Gordon Strachan's faither accompanied his son for signing talks which broke down when the old man asked Eddie Turnbull for a boot allowance and Ned unceremoniously told him to "Go away" if you get my drift.

So they did and went to Dundee.
