Sky Sports forced to get a stool for Sheff Utd star in live TV interview and he still can’t reach 6ft 7in team-mate

SKY SPORTS were forced to use a STOOL to interview Sheffield United star Gustavo Hamer alongside giant teammate Harry Souttar.

The two aces played starring roles as the Blades beat rivals Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 on Sunday.

Tyrese Campbell scored the only goal of the game at Bramall Lane.

And United’s latest win saw them go joint-top of the Championship with Sunderland.

After midfielder Hamer and defender Souttar were both interviewed live on air by Sky Sports.

But there was literally a huge problem for the cameraman.

That’s because Hamer is just 5ft 7in tall.

While team-mate Souttar stands an entire foot higher at 6ft 7in.

The height discrepancy meant one player was always going to be out of shot.

And to solve the problem, Sky Sports had Hamer stand on a white stool to considerably boost his height.

Even then, the ace was still not as tall as Leicester loanee Souttar.

And fans found the whole situation hilarious as they reacted online.

One said: “Is this a perspective thing?”

Another declared: “Who brought that stool to the ground?”

One noted: “No way this is real.”

Another added: “They lying about heights now.”
