Iran's current coach and legendary striker Ali Daei (1.92m - 6ft 3in) scored 109 goals for the national team over 13 years, thanks in large part to his size and heading ability. Current Arsenal and Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor (1.92m - 6ft 3in) is considered one of Africa's best, in the same vein as the likes of Nwankwo Kanu (1.98m - 6ft 6in) and the late, great Marc Vivien Foe (1.88m - 6ft 2in).
Most recently, Belgian international Marouane Fellaini (1.94m - 6ft 4 in), 24, is making waves at Everton, where tempestuous Scot Duncan Ferguson (1.93m- 6ft 4in) spent ten seasons terrorising defences with his aerial prowess. Bolton take the cake, though, recently signing the man known as 'China's Peter Crouch,' Yang Changpeng (2.09m - 6ft 10 1⁄2in). The striker has yet to make a first team appearance, but he has the distinction of being the tallest active outfield player in the game.
