Hee, friended! And I also saw your post about "Carlos" and "Cesca" -- FWIW, I am TOTALLY looking forward to reading that one when it's done. :-D
There's a quick shot early on in Informe Robinson where Emili and Andres are walking down a hallway briskly and purposefully, and we know that Andres is little (I think he might be the slightest of all the Barcelona bajitos -- he's taller than Xavi, but definitely weighs less than Xavi or Leo or Bo, all of whom are more muscled), but Emili is clearly about 2-3 inches shorter than HIM! Which would make him about 5'5. A 5'5 magician of sports medicine. God bless small people with big talents.
Brb, off to rewatch Pep Hugs Everyone.
Damnit, now I want a hug from Pep! I always feel that way after I watch that video. And
Oh, and going back to Andres being the slightest of the lot, a friend and I were just marvelling over this photo recently: You've probably already seen this before, but if not, that's Pepe Reina next to Bobby Robson, and Andres between the priest & the guitarist. Pepe and Victor are the same age and always competed, so were probably the same size at that time -- but it's SO hard to imagine that that little pale kid could be even CLOSE to the same age, or run in the same circles, as that tall sturdy boy! What a pair Andres and Victor must have looked back in the day :-)

In case you haven't seen this, have some random LOTS OF YELLING from Victor at New Anglophone Twink. (One of my friends refers to Ibi + Bo as Little Twink Stars.) Bonus Andres & Geri cameos. ;-)
