Or is that just a use of poetic licence by whoever came up with the song ?

    5ft 7. But 5ft 3 rhymes better with that nice man John Terry.

    Same height as me, same age as me... just not as good. Hey, if Bexley Dan can outplay Semedo whose to say I can't outdefend the Boy Wonder?


    [As there is a baffling lack of humour amongst some I will reiterate I am just joking... Semedo is far better than BD ;)]

    'He's only 4ft 3' - would make the song a more obvious micky-take, rather than a miscount.

    well the song is working as every team we've played has tried to lump it at him, and it's a ploy that has repeatedly failed

    He may not be 5ft 3, but he is definitely better than John Terry. I can understand the confusion of thinking the whole song is fact.

    Lots of things that could be used instead....

    "he'll play for team GB"
    "Wears number 20"

    I reckon he's about 5'8" or 5'9". Having seen him get off the bus at Bournemouth, it was a shock how tall he actually is.

    Alan Wright he ain't, in terms of stature anyway. Both good full backs though!

    Poor bloke gets smaller everytime I read about him, he'll be down to nothing soon. Hope we don't end up giving a complex. For me he's head and shoulders above any right back in this league and perhaps even the championship.

    Kenny Sansom and Ashley Cole are about the same height as Solly and it hasnt held them back.
