Ranking the tallest players in Premier League history
The list of the tallest players in Premier League history contains some real giants, each of who might appear more at home on basketball courts than football pitches on first appearances.
This group of lanky lads have towered over their contemporaries in English football, with height often an advantage when it comes to the world of football.
Here are the six tallest players in Premier League history.
Peter Crouch ? 201cm
Perhaps the most famous of Premier League’s humongous heroes, Crouch’s height was arguably both a gift and a curse.
The forward headed home a record 53 goals in the Premier League, part of 108 top-flight goals the 6ft 7in striker scored in the division. However, his height often meant Crouch failed to receive the plaudits he deserved for other areas of his game, including brilliant volley technique and link-up play.

Despite often being a Plan B option at international level, he scored an impressive 22 goals in 42 appearances for England.
One of the Premier League’s favourite characters, Crouch’s 201cm frame is matched by names including Dan Burn, Lars Leese, Stefan Postma, Ian Feuer and Paul Onuachu.
