Andy Platt was also 5 foot 10 and was the best prop in the world for a time

I'd go with Andy at prop, also a top bloke off the field.

On the left wing I would have a 5ft 1inch, 10.5 stone player called Ivor Watts who had a15 year career at Hull FC. playing over 400 games. Was in an era of great wingers including Boston,Sullivan, Cooper and Van Vollenhoven among others.

He is second in the list of all time try scorers for Hull and represented Cumberland in the 50's.

I was just taking a look at how tall Les Boyd was.

According to this site, 'she' is one of Australia's most famous Rugby League players and currently worth $110M.

I may not 100% trust the height information.

That is a very weird read.

You'd want him in the team - after all, in a 13-year career, he never missed a single conversion.

Thats what he liked to claim but he isn’t. We were stood next to him one night in a nightclub queue in Wakey and our lass was taller than him.  She’s 5ft 4. 

Yeh I watched him several times and he was minuscule

Ah, but what about the footwear? 

He may have been in his cuban heels, so she may be much taller than him!
