Rob he has claimed 5'11''. Why not listing him at 180 cm?
Original says on 19/May/13
5'9.5" is absurd. He's 5'10.75" min measured at 19 years in Manchester.
Arch Stanton says on 19/May/13
Strange, he looks 5'10 range next to Zidane.
Greer81 says on 16/May/13
Looks 5'9.5 - 5'10 People he's not 6'1 nor 6'0, stop it.

My niece used to work at Everton FC and she had her picture taken with Beckham barefoot, she's 5ft 7 and he was only an inch or two taller at most- 5'11 my arse!!
Arch Stanton says on 15/Apr/13
[Editor Rob: why is Gazza listed 5ft 9.25 and not the 5ft 9 in his biography? I think beckham is a fraction over 5ft 11, whether it's a small fraction or he's more 5ft 11.5 earlier in the day and drops nearer 5ft 11 at night, that's why we have discussion about heights on here ;)]

Well, why don't you list him at 5'11.25 (181 cm) then?
Bakel says on 8/Apr/13
Plus the guy has hundreds of pictures on the net with others celebs, and he almost always looks his height. During his career, he has been measured 181cm(LA Galaxy) 182cm (Real Madrid, LA Galaxy) and 183cm (PSG), so 182cm is a fair listing.
Bakel says on 8/Apr/13
Average Joe says on 21/Mar/13
He is 5'10, 178cm. 179cm max.

Giggs is suppose to be around 179cm, Becks is barely any taller while having the advantage of studs while Giggs is in socks...

Downgrade!


--> Nop man you're wrong, there is a bit of perspective distortion in this pic, giggs is standing closer to the camera. I can see that if they stood face to face beckham would have a good edge on him.
Balrog says on 8/Apr/13
Before he got famous he was always listed at 180 cm.
the shredder says on 6/Apr/13
Some folk round down as crazy as it sounds , I know a guy that I measured exactly 5'8 barefoot but my cousin claims 5'8 but in person my cousin looks taller than the guy I measured.
Louis says on 3/Apr/13
Rob, why is he listed at 182 if in his autobiography he says 180

he looked 5'11 max yesterday with messi and ibrahimović

Original says on 12/Mar/13
He's measured in Manchester in 1995 with 5'10.75", 180 cm. So 5'10.75 to 5'11 is confirmed, not shorter.
Craig says on 6/Mar/13
Stood next to him at Madame Tussaud's, I'm 179cm barefoot, & was exactly same height.. I've noticed they make the wax works,slightly taller than they are...
johno says on 5/Mar/13
Jordan ayew is listed at 5'11 and half, has been listed lower before. He is about 5'11 max and edges beckham. Beckham is in the 5'10 range as most of other user comments estimate.

Beckham 5'10 - 5'10.75

This destroys his 182cm listing. Scroll down and see the pic with 178cm listed Modou Sougou.

That's not Modou Sougou, it's Jordan Ayew who is also 182cm.

5' 11 is accurate, no more
Dmeyer says on 28/Feb/13
Compare to 6'0.75 zidane he dosnt Look under 181cm he aint legit 182cm but 181-181.5cm not 5'11 or 5'11.75 but 5'11.25-11.5

Nasser is almost 6 feet, you can google him with thiago silva (6 ft)you'll see that they are very close.
It seems that Nasser is 182 cm and Beckham 181-182 cm
Arch Stanton says on 22/Feb/13
I agree that he often doesn't look anything over 5'11, I think 181cm would be fine.
Arch Stanton says on 22/Feb/13
Hmmm but did you seem him next to Clooney?
James says on 16/Feb/13
Will u still keep him at 182cm?
[Editor Rob: I'll think on it]
James says on 15/Feb/13
Rob would u agree that 181cm is probably best fit for David given that prince William had 4 inches on him? You yourself originally thought 181cm was more accurate.
[Editor Rob: 181 could be it]
cobra says on 13/Feb/13
He needs a downgrade to 5-11 even. Too much evidence that suggests he's closer to 5-10 than 6 ft.
James says on 9/Feb/13
He looks 184cm next too john terry in that pic (uneven ground)?

In some pics though becks really does not look over 179-180cm range.

Alan Shearer is NOT 5'10.

Back in 2007 I stood next to him in the urinals at a charity evening dinner fundraiser. I was working at the hotel in Newcastle serving the guests dinner.

Shearer is 5'9 MAX. Absolute maximum.

Still looks like a strong guy for his age. A real England legend.

With 6'1 Gerald butler looked 5'11 tops.
Peyman-6ft says on 12/Jan/13
I think 95% of the footballers need a true downgrade on this site.
Beckham : 179_180
Gerrard : 182_183
Lampard : 183
Terry : 185_186
Drogba :187
Zidane : 184
Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 11/Jan/13
If wiggins is 6'3 parker then Becks is 5'11 max! His hair is thick and his actual head is about his eye level(4.5 inch).

For me Becks cant be 179cm or lower but he could be a weak 180cm.

Between 179.5-181 at night is his range.
Zein says on 9/Jan/13
Look at pictures with him and zidane who is 6'1.Beckham looks 1 1/2-2 inches shorter.I say 5'11-5'11 1/2 at very most.Becsause of his athletic build and hair he looks taller in pics.IMO he is 5 11.Ih he was 5 10 ot would be a pretty visible difference between him and zidane.And its not.5'11

Bradley Wiggins is listed at 6'3 on most sites. His eyebrow level would then be 5'11,and Beckham is above it. Another listing Rob has spot on IMO.

Plenty of pics of Ferguson on Beckham on the net. Ferguson was listed at 5'11 in his playing days (not saying he is that now), but nothing under 5'11 for Beckham.

Beckam = 5'10.5 nothing above it.

Looks 5'11"
Arch Stanton says on 20/Dec/12
The 5'10" claims for Beckham are pretty ridiculous. He's about one of the best examples of a legit 5 ft 11 man you can get. He might not quite measure 182cm later in the day but anything under 180cm is just not true.
st says on 18/Dec/12
why do people underestimate heights of celebrities, jealousy? he is 5 11 and a strong one!
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP says on 18/Dec/12

More 5 ft 11 flat I think.

Barely taller than 5'9 Robbie Keane, 5'10 is realistic.
Gilipollas says on 28/Nov/12
Met him in Madrid. He was wearing flipflops. 179 max. Very skinny. Getting bald and lots of wrinkles. Very down to earth guy and loves his kids. Now he has a head full of hair and looks great!

Scroll down to picture 4.. zidane(185), ronaldo(183), figo and beckham.. exact same height.. figo is listed 180cm. But just like everyone else probably overlisted.. but 180cm is the maxheight they are if that's what they are listed.

Steve Nash didn't look 185 with kaka maybe 184
Hard to guess Beckham's height
Anywhere from 175 to 178 not much taller than Jode Mourinho

He looks tiny next too peter crouch as well
Louis says on 15/Oct/12
he looks 178 with sergio Ramos, Barack Obama, Steve nash
he is probably 177-178

Looks no taller than 5'10 in your pics cobra

rob would you say that beckham looks 181cm next too 6'1 steve nash

Although steve is closer too the camera beckham has a thicker hairstyle.
[Editor Rob: I think both their hair is pretty similar, yeah he can look about 181cm]

Comicbookmaster17 says on 21/Sep/12
Rob, Is there a chance that Beckham is 180cm because his posture laid back in most pictures.
[Editor Rob: he can look 5ft 11-11.5 range more than anything under or over that range]
joe joe says on 30/Aug/12
John terry is 6'1 and a half but on the pitch he can look 6'2 as the average height for a prem footballer is 178cm. Just out of interest rob. How do you estimate your heights? and what do you look for when you need to up or down grade a height.?
[Editor Rob: the more people I meet and have a good idea of their height, you can see how others stack up against them...plus if you have measured athletes with actors in video etc that's always usefull!]
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 27/Aug/12
Rob, how tall would you say John Terry is?
[Editor Rob: six one half maybe]
joe joe says on 25/Aug/12
i think it's time the 182 listing is downgraded. beckham is a max 181 man. here he is next to a bare foot sergio ramos who is rightly listed on the madrid website at 183. becks has a soccer boot advantage against a 183 man who is barefoot!!!!!! using common sense one could deduct that a true 182 man in
boots would look 185 next to a 183 man who is bare foot. that isnt happening in this pic
i would say 179 would be more accurate for beckham

saw a photo of him with 5'9 tom daley, he was 2 inches taller. 5'11.
Jack says on 14/Aug/12
Click Here With a legit 185 cm Zidane he looks 180 cm at best.
Click Here And here...186 cm Kaka towers over him.Thats definitely not 4 cm difference. I'd give to Becks 179 maybe 180 cm judging these pics...182 cm is a stretch.
Yitzhak says on 11/Aug/12
In that pic with Pele he doesn't look anything over 5'11, considering the slouch.
Hob says on 6/Aug/12
5feet11.5 for beckham seriously impossible. he was a little over 4inches shorter than 6'2.5 rio ferdinand
zalo says on 5/Aug/12
6 Feet
BigT says on 2/Aug/12
With Obama he looks under 5Ž11
Boeing17 says on 2/Aug/12
There's a picture of him and Casilias standing next to each other beckham looks about 1 to 2 cm taller , altho it might be posture and camera angles but no doubt that both casilias and beckham are below 6ft mark
1.85 m, 83 kg says on 30/Jul/12
A definite 5'11".
matt says on 28/Jul/12
hereŽa video with luke perry . beckham is little bit taller. perry is listed with 1,78cm Click Here
johno says on 17/Jun/12
Obama has about 3 inches on beckham. 5'10 would be his max height next to him. The president is between 6'0.5 - 6'1 himself.
187 cm perfect height says on 15/Jun/12
His 511 theirs the prove next to president . Google obama and bush is the identical height with bush....
Kalle says on 15/Jun/12
U wankers seriously thinks hes below 1,80?:O, since u dont see the feet u know nothing about that obama pic.
Here u really see the height of beckham with Zidane (1.85) and Raul (1.79)
no doubt that becks is 1.82. Period.

obama looks huge in that pic killer.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 12/Jun/12
Rob, what about 5'11 or a bit less? He really doesnt look less than 2 inches under legit 185 Obama...
Mr-KILLER-SHRIMP says on 9/Jun/12
He looked 180 MAX next to 185cm Obama: Click Here

In fact I think 178-179cm (5'10"-5'10.5") is a better estimate based on that picture. Definitely nothing over 180.
AD says on 12/Feb/12
Becks is the same height as Robbie Williams as we've seen in that barefoot shoot ...perhaps 1cm smaller at the most. Robbie is listed on here as 6'0" with photos to illustrate it. He's also clearly 2 or 3 inches taller than 5'9" Sebastian Coe in the pictures below. He very much seems around an inch and a half less than 6'1.5" Jonathan Ross.... 5'11.5 is a very accurate listing with all the evidence. The 5'10" guesses are way off!
Godred says on 10/Feb/12
@Adz - Beckham is never 184 even in shoes,he`s nothing over 5`11 might even be as low as 5`10.
ANDREA[ITA] says on 8/Feb/12
5'11 tops! That 1/2 is because he's english...

As an Arsenal fan it is odd, because RVP is nearly as tall as manager Arsene Wenger who says he is 6 foot 4!And I'm not sure Wenger is 6 foot 4 so I'd guess 6 foot 2 for RVP.

Alan Shearer at 5'10 is absurd.
................................................................................................................................................................

I'd say 5' 8" or 5' 9" is absurd for Shearer, but 5' 10" certainly isn't. Teddy Sheringham, who I've met is in the 5' 11" range, not the full 6' 0" (183 cm) he is often listed. Shearer is at least 1 inch shorter than him. Shearer is also the same height as legit 178 cm Andy Cole, BUT taller than Roy Keane who's also listed at 178 cm - but looks 5' 9.5" to me.

Someone commented on a fan page saying: "Shearer is not as tall as you'd imagine". The fan said he was 5' 11" and that "Shearer was clearly shorter than me, maybe 5' 8" or 5' 9".

I can't believe that low for 1 second. The fan may actually be closer to 6' 0" than 5' 11" flat, who knows!

I personally reckon Shearer's either 5' 10.25" (178 cm) or 5' 10.5" (179 cm)... not above that surely.
miko says on 25/Jan/12
Alan Shearer at 5'10 is absurd.

Both Becks and Shearer are 5'11, if not more. Beck is slightly taller.

Shearer has an inch on 5'10 Nicky Butt.

I used to think Beckham was taller than Shearer like you do, but there's hardly anything between them:

I think both Shearer and Beckham are 5'10" flat, 5'10.5" MAX. And I think Andy Cole is around 174cm, but I agree with your other estimates.
Adz says on 23/Jan/12
I reckon Becks is 184 out of bed and 182 at night. And I think Jonathon Ross is 6ft 1 now and has lost his half inch (if he was even 6ft1.5 as he always claims)
brooksy says on 23/Jan/12
@dean I would probably be a shade under 183 at night or maybe the same? I am not sure.

From far away Becks looked around my height, but when I got closer he was slightly shorter, although he had his football boots on. I think for Beckham 5'10.5-5'11 is about right. He is kind of a hard one to pin down a little bit..
178 says on 22/Jan/12
Sir Alex Ferguson: 5' 10" (178 cm)
Michael Owen: 5' 7.25" (171 cm)
Chris says on 21/Jan/12
Mr Killer Shrimp, I can assure you that David Beckham is a 5'11 guy. He was listed at that height in 1996, when he began to be regular in the starting lineup of the Manchester Utd. Years later when he became famous, they pumped his height to 6'.

5'11 (180 cms) for Beckham, no more, no less.
