Bit of a weird one this I know but I remember as a kid mine where the full length of my shin and loads even came with ankle bone protectors yet virtually all modern footballers shin pads are tiny in comparison and only cover about 1/2 to 1/3 of the shin. Is there a genuine reason for this (uncomfortable) or is it "fashionable" to wear small ones (I'm not afraid of being kicked etc etc)?
