There is an iconic picture from circa 40 years ago when Denis Law and Best were training in the sun. The two men look 2-1/2-3 inches different in height with Law the taller man. Best is most often said to be 5ft 8-9 and Law as a young men was said to be 5ft 9-10.

Saw him today on a plane to the Algarve with his wife and I assume daughter- he is 71 now and has lost a bit of weight compared to the picture above. I wouldn't place him as 5ft 9. I would have thought on the basis of today he was more like 5ft 7. I was quite close to him on plane and am 6ft tall so feel comfortable saying he is no longer 5ft 9

In the 60's he'd have been 5ft10 which was quite tall for players in those days. He was a good header of the ball....like Henrik Larsson a good leap that meant he could out jump taller defenders.
