Football Soccer Height

1.85 m, 83 kg says on 14/Feb/12
de Gea - 6'1" (Thin physique and mounds of hair have noobs describing him as 6'4".)
Carrick - 6'1 1/2" (Very difficult to pin down, always slouching.)
Puyol - 5'9 1/2"
Berbatov - 6'2" (The reference player.)
Evra - 5'7 1/2"
van Persie - 6'1" (Again, very difficult. Can look anywhere between 6'-6'2".)
Crouch - 6'7" (Has a physique that makes him look 6'9". 11-12 stones, now that's saying something. There are taller players, some even in England.)
Henry - 6'2" (Solid estimate)
Jones - 6'

Hey Rob what do you think about Gareth Bale,how tall is he,could he be 185 cm ???

[Editor Rob: not seen enough, although I remember harry calling him 6ft 2. That's maybe a bit much.]

Terry Chan says on 6/Feb/12
Dea gea sure not in the 6'3 to 6'4 range as listed, but the guy is obviously taller than those six-footers (e.g. Phil Jones). I would bet him 186cm - 187cm, no more no less

hey rob how about david villa how much tall do you think he is around 5'9?

[Editor Rob: yeah he might be 174-5 range.]

oregon says on 28/Jan/12
hey rob! i was always wondering how tall are aaron lennon and shaun wright phillips? my guess for aaron is 5ft 4in and for shaun 5ft 3.75in

[Editor Rob: 5ft 5 maybe]

Zach says on 28/Jan/12
Watching the liverpool v manu match today, De Gea looked like a shrimp next to the genuine 6'3-4ers. I dont think he's any more than 6'1. Here he is next to 6'2 Carrick: Click Here

Ras says on 26/Jan/12
Puyol should be 176.5cm 5'9.5"
The tallest one in the spanish national team is 6'4" Fernando Llorente followed by 190.5cm Gerard Pique. Anyone agrees that the tallest soccer player alive is 6'7.5" Peter Crouch?

Zach says on 24/Jan/12
Patrice Evra can't be taller than 5'7, but he's listed as 5'9 (1.75m) almost everywhere.

Godred says on 4/Jan/12
Thanks Josh,interesting.I`m very suspicious of the 6`1 listing for Jones as he was billed consistently as 5`11,then again he is still quite young so it`s possible,but I think the 5`11 listing is the correct one.I did think the 6`2 listing for Berbatov was untouchable but recently he looked smaller than Carrick.Anyone else want to make a guess?

Josh (170-12) says on 1/Jan/12
De Gea 6'3"
Macheda 6.05"
Carrick 6'1"
Fletcher 5'11.5"
Welbeck 5'11.5"
Jones 5'10.5"
Berbatov 6'1"

ralph says on 27/Dec/11
Pique is probaly around 6'2.5 to 6'3 looks just a little bit taller than busquets

Godred says on 27/Dec/11
Their listed heights keep getting changed - usually bumped up, but can people inc. Rob give their current height estimates for -
De Gea
Macheda
Carrick
Fletcher
Welbeck
Phil Jones
Berbatov

5'10" range for Ronaldo? Wow ,I thought he looked like a proper 182 cm guy...And what about Robin Van Persie Rob? He looks 6'0 1/2(184 cm) to me. Am I right?

[Editor Rob: I must have read it too fast as my mind was thinking of Rhonaldino as being in the 5ft 10 range :) ]

Zach says on 17/Dec/11
Come on, 5'10 for Brazilian Ronaldo? The guy was a solid 6ft.

Here he is next to 5'11 Figo and 6'1 Zidane Click Here

Jack says on 16/Dec/11
Rob is there a chence that Casillas is as short as 5'10"? He looks it with daniel Craig in this pic... Click Here

Jack says on 13/Dec/11
Rob how tall are brazilian Ronaldo and Cesc Fabregas?

[Editor Rob: 5ft 10/10.5 range for ronaldo maybe, fabregas I am not sure, I think he looks average range]

Rob how tall do you think the late Gary Speed was? you should make a page for him.legend and a sad loss RIP!

[Editor Rob: from tv matches, maybe above average, but not over 5ft 11]

I agree exactly was thinking 5'10-5'11 range.
What a sad loss though, just goes to show you how unimportant little things like height are.

Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 5/Dec/11
Rooney could be 176cm but thats the MAX he is 174-176cm is likely for Rooney.
As for Mourinho he appears 173-175cm Id say. Rob had him 177cm but I dont think hes ever taller than a flat 5'9 MAX.
Rob also what height would you think Steven Gerrard is? People say he could be 184-185cm range but for me hes no more than 183cm and possibly 182cm range? what do you think?

Jack says on 3/Dec/11
Rob how tall could be Jose Mourinho? 174 cm?

[Editor Rob: when he had a page here I thought 5ft 9 range, but he may indeed be nearer 174 range.]

Josh (170-12) says on 24/Nov/11
Just realised that Rooney is listed at 176 cm in most places now, rather that the 178 cm he used to be

Jack says on 21/Nov/11
Rob how tall is Gerard pique in your book? He looks more than 6'3" to me..

[Editor Rob: yeah, big Gerard looks like a guy in 6ft 4 range more than just 6ft 3]

MD says on 14/Nov/11
Rob,

You got a picture of him standing beside Ronaldo? Yeah, I do think he's slightly less than 5'7".

[Editor Rob: in the past I've seen him with Ronaldo, not to hand though.]

MD says on 13/Nov/11
Is Wesley Sneijder really 5'7"? He doesn't seem ridiculously overlisted, or anything, but he does look slightly less than that, to me.

[Editor Rob: when he stands beside ronaldo 5ft 6.5 might be his range]

linke says on 13/Nov/11
Rob,I'm not into soccer but here is messi with Bollywood actor,Ranbir kapoor who claims 6'0.If messi is 169 cms as listed on various sites,how tall does that make ranbir?

Click Here

[Editor Rob: he don't look 6ft with messi, maybe in the 5ft 10-11 range, maybe Messi has thicker soccer boots to give little advantage.]

Anon says on 11/Nov/11
Hey Rob what do you think is the height of Javier Hernandez chicharito?

[Editor Rob: possibly near 5ft 8 ]

Zach says on 5/Oct/11
Yeah John Terry's prob 6'1.5 I remember Ballack and Terry squaring up once when the former was playing for Bayern and Ballack had an inch on Terry.

Lampard and Gerrard are both between 6'0-6'1, Gerrard may look a little taller cos he's slimmer.

miko says on 4/Oct/11
I'd put John Terry at his mostly listed 6'1.5 height. Lampard seems a solid 6'0 to me.

SAK says on 3/Oct/11
Thanx for football(soccer) page great addition.

In general footballer height listings are pretty inaccurate, rugby seems to be more accurate in comparison. And it's not always upgrading there's alot downgrading aswell in footballer height listings.

Imo Ferdinand is 6ft3.5.

I am not sure on John Terry or Lampard.

Zach says on 3/Oct/11
6'3.5 for Rio sounds lot more accurate.

Also is Andy Carrol really 'only' 6'3? He keeps getting referred to as a 'giant' but there are plenty of 6'3 strikers around.

Zach says on 30/Sep/11
Thanks Rob.

I agree Josh. Messi is NOT the 5'7 he keeps getting quoted.

Also, Rio Ferdinand keeps getting listed as 6'2 - this guy is 6'4 at least!

[Editor Rob: ferdinand as I mentioned elsewhere, I can't find it but I read a quote where I'm sure he said 6ft 3.5 as his height]

Josh (170-12) says on 29/Sep/11
Good page Rob. Hopefully people will use this!
I'll get this party started by saying I believe Messi to 5'6"
