Now this has always niggled me for some reason.
Luke Shaw's height, given in all the official stats and other places is 1.85m. That is 6ft and about 3/4 inch.
There is no way on Gods earth the guy is nearly 6ft1". Not even a 6 footer IMO.

Shaw runs up and down the line so much that he wears a furrow in the pitch which makes him look shorter when he's standing in it.

Carrick is 6'2"
Shaw looks about 2 inches shorter than him in that pic.

On a related note, I remember the discussions around Phil Jones being 'too short to be a CB' because Wikipedia always had him down as 5ft10 or something.
Incredible how people refuse to believe their own eyes.

Tbf that’s a serious issue. Causes saka to fall over a hell of a lot. It’s no laughing matter

You have to have a hole in your sock, else how do you get your foot in it

problem solved. I've cancelled my Saka's holey socks thread.
It's gonna be replaced by, Are commentators contractually obliged to only refer to Trent Alexander Arnold using his whole name ? That's one for 2024.
