maybe he had a different peak height like 5ft6 1/2 or 5ft 7

I have never met him in person but I always thought he was around 5'6" perhaps less. Ironically, he used to claim 5'7" some years back and in an interview even stated, "I am four inches under six foot." I just noticed that one of the sites on the internet has him listed as 5'7.5" (171cm) which is laughable!

Yeah he always looked short 5'5"-5'6" seems about right. I remember him next to Gail's mother in Coronation Street and she looked a lot taller than him.
