The Light Weight Debate
Comments

I don't regard some of those mentioned as lightweight. Some are short and stocky and probably very hard to knock off the ball like Maradonna or Suarez. Simmo was definitely lightweight, he looked like our mascot. Johnny Harrison was probably the most lightweight Charlton player I've seen. There wasn't much of Paul Walsh either when he first broke into the team.1

Bremner, Collins, Giles all ex Leeds under Revie in their Halcyon Days.
Nobby Stiles (Man Utd) Alan Ball (Blackpool and then Everton the following season) England World Cup Winners.
Edit : Giles was the tallest of these five at 5'7'' Collins was the shortest at 5'3'' none of them weighed more than about 10st dripping wet, not only could they play on the ball they could put a tackle in and loved a scrap :-00 -

Mark Stuart always scared of full backs which was a problem as he was a winger.
Probably best remembered for the 1-0 Old Trafford win and Lennie Lawrence saying "he'll either end up playing for Barcelona or Bromley"1 -

Even though he weighed the same as a hot hatch.
