According to Wiki, Brian Flynn at 5' 3.5" is 1.5" smaller than both Dyer and Junior Bent.
Any smaller than Brian?

I remember seeing Brian Flynn (1.61m) outjump Micky Droy (1.93m) for a ball in the 3 all draw at Stamford bridge in August 1994 (3-0 down at half time)

I'll throw Junior Bent in. From memory I don't think he was that tall

I thought Ashley Hoskins was a bit vertically challenged, but that could be my memory.

Loan player could have Brenna Fernando Guerrero

signed on loan by Coyle summer 2009 - he was 5'-7" though (but fast!)

Stuart Robertson? Always looked like the ball was too big and heavy for him to kick.

Joe Jakub?
Chris Vinnicombe?

I can recall Peter Leebrook being a short ass!!!!
Junior Bent on loan was also knee high to a grasshopper.

Brian only got to 5' 3" and a bit because he stood on his tiptoes for team photo once!

Billy Ingham wasn't overly tall and I remember him driving for Burnley and Pendle, he was only of small stature behind a wheel.

Smallest dons player was a guy was a lad called Willo Flood, low centre of gravity, superb when the ball was on the ground. Not much taller than Verne Troyer but still a giant to a man like tup.

We signed a player I think he was a winger called Chippendale in the dark days. I remember he was small,small and crap.

We had a Chinese player in the 1920s who was 4ft14 and is the only player we've had under 5 foot
Re: Smallest player to play for burnley

So he must have been at least 74 inches tall!
Re: Smallest player to play for burnley

It has to be Flynny. John Price did look very small, and his brother, Alf Price was much smaller.

I can't seem to find the height of one of my favourite players back in the day, but Billy Ingham the Ginger Pele sprang to my mind. He was a top lad and a great little player who really got stuck in, he was also a great bus driver and always happy to chat.
