Schoolboy stands 6ft 11in tall at age 15

HEs only 15 but at 6ft 11in Bradley Fisher already has the whole school looking up to him. The keen sportsman, who sleeps in a custom-built 7ft bed, towers above his little schoolmate Zoe McDermott - the same age but only 4ft 6in. Bradley has just been called up to the England under-16 basketball team and is preparing for the European championships. He has to duck through doors and wait for size-15 footwear to arrive from the US. But Bradley said yesterday: I like being tall. My friends think its really good. I love playing basketball, so being tall really helps. It gives me an edge. Brian Souter, deputy head at Southland school in Chorley, Lancs, said: He is a gentle giant - very friendly and popular. Bradley is still 8in shorter than the UKs tallest teenager, Paul Sturgess, 19. Mirror
