Rob G says on 4/Jul/08
In this picture Pele looks close to Mamun's height. He looks there tad less than 5'8" However if he had boots on he is around 5'7" Mamun says on 4/Jul/08
NO my friend , I do not beleive that he was 5' 6" in that picture !More
like 5' 7.5" based on my encounter .

>.... I never ever wear boots ...... I was wearing shoes with only 0.50 inches >heels in this picture . Pele on the other hand was the one with boots .
Mamun,
according to you, which is the possibility that Pel� is around 5'6"? Mamun says on 4/Jul/08
Not a tall nephew my friend but a cousin who is 6' 7" barefoot . I appologize
to every one in this for I had given a worng information . Earlier on I had
stated that he was only 6' 6" . That was his height when he was 18 years and
four months . But when I measured him three months ago and he is now in his
forties , I found him to be exactly 6' 7" barefeet and this was at 6.30pm.
He must have grown another inch or more well into his twenties .
I sincerely apologize for any confussion I had caused in this site .
Regards

It seems like Pele was closer to the camera than Mamun. He never looked tall in football field, but we gotta remember that back in the day he played 5ft8 corresponded the height of 5ft9-5ft10 nowadays. Maybe it was his built that made him look taller. Philip says on 3/Jul/08
Mamun I read somewhere on the site you have a tall nephew. How tall is he? Mamun says on 3/Jul/08
THank you Bankman !

Mamun Clay says on 2/Jul/08
I didn't know that Mamun thanks for clearing it up you're eyeline is definitely higher as well. Mamun says on 2/Jul/08
Simply Magnificent is the word my Friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome pic Mamun!!! PKB says on 2/Jul/08
WOW! Standing next to Pele!!! Mamun, how did it feel standing next to the legend and having photo taken with him? Mamun says on 2/Jul/08
My good friends here , I never ever wear boots . I don't find them
comfortable . I was wearing shoes with only 0.50 inches heels in this
picture . Pele on the other hand was the one with boots .
Only one occassion I wore boots and I will soon post that picture . It was
with another 7' 6" giant and even then the boots only had 1 inches of heels.
Regards
Mamun Charlie23 says on 2/Jul/08
I have the same opinion Clay, i see them both the same height Phil says on 1/Jul/08
Problem is that you can't see the shoes of them both. I have seen Manum wearing black boots in one or two pics on this site. On this pic above Manum his eye line are higher then peles eyeline. But strange thing is that Pele his arms, torso, face, legs are longer then Manum. Probably the shoes could tell us some more. Mamun says on 1/Jul/08
My friend Clay , when I was living in the United Arab Emirates , I always
had the habit of wearing shoes that had rubber heeels and they were never
more than 0.50 inches . They were very comfortable and I think my friend
Pele here is wearing more than 0.50 inches of soles in his footwear . Plus
he is a little closer to the camera .
regards
Mamun Clay says on 1/Jul/08
I could be crazy, but I see Pele and Mun' the exact same height here.
[Editor Rob: Pele's head could be slightly closer there.] Mamun says on 30/Jun/08

he looks almost as tall as mamun. i reckon pele is dead on 170cm. 5'7. when was the photo taken mamun? Shaun says on 24/Jun/08
Pele (1958) (1962) (1970) 1.71m
2008 1.69m leonari says on 27/Apr/08
maradonas fan: if you believe Pele was 176 there is nothing that can help you. You are lost. Whatever he was listed at (beside that: show me where he was listed 176 cm.please) he was a genius but he never was above 173 cm. NEVER. Maradona`s fan says on 26/Apr/08
I`ve seen Pele being listed as 1,76m back in the ole days, that would be close to 5'10''. Its normal for anyone to lose a couple inches as they age rrright? He`s probably 5'8'' now at 68 years old.
I`m a 25 years old brazilian and I am 5'8.5'' and that`s SHORT anywhere in Brazil. I`ve always been one of the shortests in the class, the shortest in my band..The average on my father`s family is shorter than that actually (5'4-5'') and for my maternal closer relatives way higher (5'11'' for my uncles and cousins). I`d say the average height for the younger generation is rather higher than 10 years ago, more like 5'10'' or more in some places.
In the south and southeast of the country the average is even higher, due to the many european immigrants. I`m from the northeast.
And yes..Maradona is the best! Having scored a "goal" with his hand on the final game against England, drinking like crazy and snorting loads of cocaine for years and going in and out rehabs, shooting photographers... yeah, the man can only be "the best" since he`s still alive.
I also worked in a hotel in a quite popular beach here, and we`d get tourists from all parts of the country and europe. Definitely brazilians are no shorter than spanish, portuguese, french and italians. The scandinavians and dutch surely are taller than all in average. Never seen anyone from eastern europe there tough. glenn says on 18/Oct/07
rob-get rid of the matt and stanley guy that posted those.please.unless one and the same. glenn says on 16/Sep/07
i think he was taller.for sure.by how much,im not clear.i still think he was as tall as 5-8. leonari says on 16/Sep/07
He is 5'6" nowadays.Glenn saw him at that height. He was on german TV lst year looked 5'6".
ROB and GLENN: What do you say? Any chance that he was never taller than that?
Personally I don't think so...mostly because I am part of the " Stallone is 5'10" fraction"... leonari says on 12/Jul/07
MAtt: go to another site...before your ass will be excluded by the editor. glenn says on 11/Jul/07
**** you matt. starky says on 4/Mar/07
he had an amazing leap, even from standing start and could outjump players 5 inches taller than him. Much like 176cm Henrik Larsson can today! LeoSgf says on 23/Feb/07
It's pretty easy to find a person taller than 1.75m in Brazil. If you guys don't know we have the greatest male volleyball squad in the world.
But we are in fact (in average) a medium people country . I'm 6'2 (1,88m). I would say that our average is exactly 1,75 for men and 1,65m for women. mark001 says on 21/Nov/06
As I said before I know for sure Pel� was 167 cm, so Stallone in their famous movie was about 170 cm. Glenn says on 21/Oct/06
For some strange reason,Mick can go by unoticed.maybe cause he doesnt stick around as long and goes to his car quicker. Chris says on 20/Oct/06
I was just wondering what you meant Glenn.....Poor Mick! Glenn says on 18/Oct/06
I dont know anything about soccer or sports Chris.people here say he wasnt the best.so I have to take their word.I know he attracts the most attention at airports.Ali a close 2nd.Mick Jagger usually,90% of the time goes by unnoticed.go figure. Matt says on 17/Oct/06
Well, it does says "arguably" the greatest soccer player of all time in case you didn't notice it,in function of that everlasting Pele vs Maradona argument over the years.Both played in different times and it's not the easiest of the comparissons, although to me Pele will always be superior, not only for his number of goals, but for being a strategist with amazing skills and vision in the game,aside from winning 3 WC's with Brazil.Maradona ruined his career with all the dope.Pele is number 1. Chris says on 17/Oct/06
Glenn, what do you mean about Pele not being the best - the best celebrity or the best sportsman? Padraig, maybe it's because his life story is a real epic...coming up from the slums in a country where the only way you can break out is through Soccer otherwise you're screwed...and he conquers the world. Equally with Maradona...I don't know who was better. I personally like George Best.
ForensicNYC - where did yu get that height for Mooro? Bobby Moore was 5'11" according to every single source I've seen including his wife saying so. Glenn says on 17/Oct/06
This is strange but true to me Padraig. Glenn says on 17/Oct/06
I dont know anything about soccer or sports,but I believe Pele is the most FAMOUS.maybe not the best.I NEVER witnessed people of all walks of life and ages go crazy while reconizing Pele at airports.more than any other celeb.2nd would be Ali.
[Padraig: Some sportsmen have more recognised faces worldwide than top actors.] Height Detective says on 15/Oct/06
No idea why he is listed here at "the best soccer player in the world" Maradona is far better player and he made the most beautiful goals in the football history.
And most importantly he still play , and kick ass .
[Padraig: Because Rob writes every single database entry, including those I'm adding whilst he's away, so its his personal opinions. I may also disagree with it :=) ] Security says on 11/Sep/06
Pele 1970 = 176cm
Pele 2006 = 171cm Glenn says on 24/May/06
That wouldnt be easy for me and my footwear varies every 4 months. BOOM says on 23/May/06
Glen could you post a picture of the shoes you usually wear when in these pics cause then i can compare them to the shoes the celeb is likely to be wearing. Matt says on 3/Apr/06
Playing volleyball does not change a person's height, that claim is ridiculous. Last time I checked genetics and nutrition were pretty big factors in the topic at hand. stAs says on 13/Feb/06
I also agree that the new brazilian generation are a tall one because their second most popular sport is beach volley and they play all year couse its warm so they jump a lot, swim a lot and that's why the grow taller. brazilian guy says on 4/Feb/06
i agree with jiu jitsu
i´m 170 cms, i´m the shortest in my group, my father is 176 and he was considered tall on his youth days, now he´s short
the last generation in brazil is getting really tall, i live in sao paulo, and i´m use to be shorter than the majority
i descend from armenians and portuguese people ( small people), but there´s a lot of italian´s and germany descendents whose are very tall, i think anonimous´ comment was full of prejudice and shows his ignorance about brasil
hey anonimous the capital of brasil is?
heheh
Jiu Jitsu says on 3/Feb/06
I disagree Anonymous. There are a lot of brazilians taller than 5ft9. I am 5ft11, my best friend is 6ft4. Depends of what region of the country you are talking about and the person wealthy. Rich people and descendents of europeans are usually taller than poor people. Black and indian descendents usually (not always) suffers from bad quality of the food and housing (bad wealty distribution). Here in Rio I see a lot of people taller than 5ft9, specially in the upper class area. Of course that Dutch people average is a lot taller, but I didnt think we are a smaller than some europeans countryes like Spain, Portugal, Italy, France or Grecce. Glenn says on 18/Jan/06
jason-I only have macho man,jericho,undertaker/pallbearer,bret hart,and that farley? guy.I think I messed up his name.pele appeared 5-6 to me chris,which would mean age is shrinking or he's lying about height. Anonymous says on 18/Jan/06
Most Brazilians are not very tall, it's not very common to find someone who's taller than 1.75 m. CelebHeights Editor says on 18/Jan/06
Picture of Glenn and soccer legend Pele up. Chris says on 15/Jan/06
Glenn, I want to know does he appear to be bigger than his height, I mean does his frame distort his actual height giving the impression that he's taller or making it so you don't notice his height at first? I say this because he had a very athletic frame, of course he's older now, but if you're born with it...some people just have that presence. Jason says on 15/Jan/06
Damn, you've just about got pics with freaking EVERYONE, Glenn ... lol. Do you have pics with any pro wrestlers? Glenn says on 15/Jan/06
5-6,5-7.photo coming. Zach says on 13/Jan/06
If elton john is 5 7.75 how is Pele the same height? Thought the heights of celebrities are their CURRENT height?
[Editor Rob: well, sometimes it depends if the person is kind of out of the limelight. Most people will remember Pele from his footballing days, but as long as both heights are mentioned on this page, i.e. Pele shrinking a few cm, then can know both] stAs says on 13/Jan/06
acording to that picture he looks 170cm. 178cm for Pele is a joke even in his 20's Sakanna says on 10/Jan/06
I am Brazilian and he is in fact 1.72cm... 5'8" |
