    Why? So he is rated as a better forward?

    The fact that he is NOT 4 inches taller is the reason he is one of the greatest players of all time.
    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    If he was taller he'd never be beaten in the air, although I'm having trouble remembering when he has been beaten in a marking contest, and he could play in all the key positions. Also a 6' 4" bloke who played like Johnno would be unstoppable in the midfield.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Give him 4 inches and you take away some of his other skills though
