He played, between others, in my hometown club ABC Braga.


Do you know some photos? 2,06m in one website could be easy 2,03m in reality, but for Russians it's possible as they always had one of tallest teams(in volleyball especially, but in handball too). I confess, I don't know this player(not my generation - I'm borned 1993).

Don't know why but I missed your message those days the list was done. Checked and he'll be added.

I'm going to update a bit descriptions of previously known tallest handballers and add more after finding some next days.

Does anybody know something similar for ASOBAL or other leagues?

Tried once again to go through Russian Superliga teams and found 2 more guys who aren't well-known but decided to list them as they look tall Aleksandr Tatarintsev and Lev Tselishchev.
Also D.Erokhin - former Medvedi player who was told to be RB and 2,04m tall, in his new team is listed at 2,07m and as Line player! But as I remember him from TV(Maximov didn't allow him to play much, so I cannot be sure) 2,04m is more possible.
Most of the teams has some of following issues: no physical parametres, old roster, most of parametres finishing at 0 or 5(so if player is 2,03m he might be still listed at 2,00m, results aren't precisive), page with roster isn't working, for one club all the website isn't working, one has website in some strange language, not russian. If I manage to find a list of II division teams will propably try to go through, but there might be much more problems.
Edit: Most of II division teams has no websites, for those who had only one team has roster shown, but no giant players.
