[QUOTE="mhnessie, post: 499398, member: 4324"] Yepp, thats what I thought - but they recently published a research study in a US science magazine where the proved that size matters ! But I guess thats another topic :eek::D Jaap Stam was a beast, what a player and one of the very few Dutch world class defenders. I think it still depends on the position, centre-backs like Japp Stam were and still are tall guys. But nowadays they can play football as well, just think of Sergio Ramos or Gerard Piqué, Mats Hummels or Holger Badstuber to name two German players. For wingbacks for example speed and technical skills are more important than size. To me another reason why players are getting taller is just beause everybody is getting taller. Im 1,78m (5''10), quite average for my generation, but look at these teenagers nowadays, they are all at least 6''1 or taller and wearing shoes with size 9 1/2 and even larger :eek::D [/QUOTE]
