DOES size matter?
These footballers are known for being big lads, but it’s their feet that are supposed to do all the talking.
Peter Crouch is 6’7″ while Thibaut Courtois is 6’6″ but you’ll be amazed to know that those two giants don’t have the biggest feet in the game.
Let SunSport give you the definitive rundown of football’s heavy-footers.
And there’s a special mention for the biggest feet the Premier League has ever seen too!
His feet are nimble and explosive, so it might help he doesn’t have flippers dangling from his pegs.
But at only 5’9″ he’s pretty much spot on when it comes to being in proportion.
Anything bigger and he might just end up falling when it comes to dribbling down the touchline.
For a lad who’s 6’1″, we were definitely expecting bigger.
But fans of Cristiano won’t have any complaints about his game, and neither should he with his size nines.
And it doesn’t seem to affect the power he gets in his free kicks when striking a ball knuckle-ball style.
He’s nicknamed the octopus because of his long limbs, so you may have thought he’d have bigger feet.
But the 6’3″ Man United star wears a size ten and a half Adidas boot.
Doesn’t stop him from getting stuck in during games though, and any bigger he may not be able to deliver those deft passes.
The Chelsea keeper is bigger than most in the Premier League, but smaller players have bigger plates of meat.
Thibaut wears size 11’s, which come in handy when he’s making low saves with a telescopic leg.
It could also explain why he is able to move his feet so quickly when making a save.
Measuring between 6’4″ to 6’7″ these lads could be fit to play basketball.
They also boast incredible size 12’s when it comes to their boot size.
Being forwards, both Crouchy and martial art expert Ibrahimovic are known for having great touches.
Luckily for Peter he has missus Abbey Clancy on hand to give him a foot massage after a hard game.
While goalkeepers Jack and Fraser rely on their big feet to get distance on clearances.
Move over Zlatan, this Manchester United hotshot has the biggest feet we could find in the Premier League.
The beefy striker wears a size 13.5 boot, which makes him standout among his peers.
In fact, Romelu’s feet are SO massive they’ve become the butt of the jokes in the Old Trafford dressing room.
Juan Mata once poked fun at Romelu on social media when he tried his teammate’s boots on and joked how huge they were.
He may have retired, but the memory of his feet still lives long in the memory.
The Nigerian striker, who was a cult hero at Arsenal, had size 15 feet.
What’s even more spectacular about that is the close control the big man had caressing the ball with his silky hold-up play.
It really was deserving of the phrase, ‘he’s got a great touch for a big lad.’
