I know he’s 6ft4 but he’s absolutely massive in person, was very friendly as expected had a quick chat and welcomed him to Burnley. Was walking near the hall with 2 people in club tracksuits iv never seen before.
Didn’t seem too keen on the new Dachshund though maybe he isn’t a dog person
UTC !

The Blackburn manager won the race for the flat so he's hired out Gawthorpe Hall to live in.

Haha I’m 5ft10, I come away afterwards thinking how Premierleague strikers who are the same size as me (Rooney,Vardy,Salah) managed to compete physically with him.
Wouldn’t like to go into a 50/50 with him put it that way

I am sure everyone realises that a dachshund is a German word, actually meaning badger dog since they were bred to drive badgers out of their burrows. However Germans would not call a dachshund a dachshund, the German word for dachshund is, in fact, ein Dackel, which means little badger.

A friend of ours has a "Teckel" a shaggy Dachshund, he is a very lively little chap (the Dog not my m8 Nigel
) ... "Teckel" being the Anglicised version of Dackel "little Badger"

The word Barnfield was dropped from the training ground s year ago when they transferred their sponsorship to the cricket field stand.

As was the previous manager but I suspect Kompany is even bigger than Dyche.

I nearly bumped into Kompany in Tesco Wilmslow about five years ago.
I was 6’1 and about 16 stone. Felt completely dwarved by him, he’s an absolute unit

Really, he was only 6ft and not particularly broad. Kompany however is not only tall but broad with it.

Stood next to him you’d be surprised. Nothing like Kompany but still big.
