Paul Gascoigne Height

theenforcer22 says on 16/Jan/12
To be fair Greg, I never checked his footwear, I'd guess he had a good pair of boots on. I used to wear shoes which were as flat as slippers for work when I worked in bars. So that could have made him taller than me.

@Greg.
In his playing days he was 5'10. I was next to him in 1990 before the Italia 90. The accounts of his height in many books and sites are between 177-79cm. This height Rob has placed i feel is absolutely spot on! Hes become more feable in recent years and I feel hes lost an inch.

Shaun says on 21/Dec/11
I'd have guessed he was 5'9" from his playing days. But this guy does look like the stereotypical British guy you'll see on some package holiday in the Med with a football shirt and ghetto blaster!!

Greg says on 15/Dec/11
When he was playing for Everton I saw him in my local chippy funilly enough. I'm 5'9" and he was a good 1 or 2 inches shorter than me.

Stood next tim him in a bar in Liverpool about 10 years ago (when he was an Everton player). Im 5 ft 9 and he was definitely taller than me, looked about 5 ft 10. He was in good health though with a good strong back and posture.

@ChiasmataX
You used a different picture, but there are several. He doesn't look 5'11.5" in any of them.

Not to forget he was just a tiny bit taller than 5'9.5" Caroline Wozniacki. 5'11" flat would be a fair listing for Becks.

ChiasmataX says on 13/Dec/11
@ Dural yeah, I used your picture and put them on Beckham's page lol. I think he's under 180cm when he's near barefoot.
@ Andre He's about 5'9.25" because if you compare his ear-level it is about right (ear-level is more accurate than eye-level to compare height when both people had weird posture)

Andre says on 8/Dec/11
Editor rob , in my opinion hes not 5 foot 9.25 at all , i am 5,9 ,25 and i am a good bit taller than my father tjat is 5,8,25 =)

@ Dural unless he was not standing straight he looked about 175-177cm there as Queen Latifah might be under 177cm.

-----------

I guess he wasn't standing completely straight, but that still doesn't make him 5'11.5".

You have more credibility on this site than ACG, yet you downgrade almost everyone and few agree with your absurd estimations. *Everybody* thinks you downgrade, it's not just his opinion. As he stated, trying to reason with you is futile. You are a sad, sad troll, and you know it.

Physics Enemy says on 6/Dec/11
LOL Bakura, I did address his criticisms. I implied he thinks I downgrade because HE upgrades, which I thoroughly explained in my post and is general opinion on most pages. Fact is I have more credibility on this site than ACG.

Bakura says on 5/Dec/11
@Physics Enemy- I love how you spend the entire comment making futile attacks on ACG without once addressing or even acknowledging the legitimate criticisms he made against you. You are an absolute joke.

Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 5/Dec/11
Rob do you think Beckham either used to wear lifts or has shrunk?

I say this because back in like the early 2000's he appears like 181-182ish range but more recent pictures do peg him more average 178-180cm range?
He looks shorter when gotton older? shrunk?

Dural says on 5/Dec/11
If Beckham is really 5'11.5", why did he look clearly shorter than that with Queen Latifah, Kaka, Roger Federer, Prince William, Gordon Ramsey and Kobe Bryant? I'm not convinced he's 5'10" flat, but 5'11.5" is pushing it.

Beckham and 5'9.75" listed Queen Latifah

Shaun says on 4/Dec/11
Beckham is about what he is listed at 5'11.5", but he can look a flat 5'11" t times and did make Prince William look nearer 6'4".

Horace says on 30/Nov/11
Beckham is over 5'11. Maybe slightly but he is over that. Physics enemy ive met Gazza and Becks in my time. Gazza in 1990, and Becks in 07 I think. Im 6ft. Been measured numerous times by GPs and doctors. Beckham was virtually my height when I met him and he wasnt wearing lofty shoes.

Gazza aswell was alot taller than i first expected. I feel he is taller than the height listed, which I feel is correct when considering his height today.

You can even compare and look at becks with other players and people and you can see he is taller than 5'11

Beckham is definitely under 5' 11" Parker. He's 5' 10.25" at the very most

soccer height listings don't mean much, look at glenn loovens listed 5'10 on cardiff citys official page Click Here and loovens with rob..... Click Here the official premier league site has peter crouch listed under 6'6 ffs

beckham looked around same height as tony blair so i would be surprised if he is ~5'10 Click Here

Physics Enemy says on 29/Nov/11
You've never even had your height measured, ACG. You sound like a typical member of the public, who inflates height by 1.5 - 2" and thinks 6' is pretty average.

Borderline short men are not 5' 9" - 5' 10" as you think, they are under 5' 7"; because average height is 5' 9". You were one of the fools who thought Glenn was a solid 5' 8" at night and Stallone was 5' 10.5", if I recall correctly.

Infact, you still think a short man like Stallone is 5' 10"; 1" above average height. You're a laughing stock on most pages, everyone knows you upgrade.

I mean, you STILL think Glenn was underlisted at 5' 7", when he was measured 169.1 cm (5' 6.575") a matter of 4-5 hrs post-wake. You've lost your marbles.

ACG says on 28/Nov/11
To Parker and everyone else: reasoning with Physics Enemy is futile, so don't even bother. To him, every celebrity is AT LEAST an inch shorter than they are in reality...probably one of the worst downgraders ever to plague CH.

Beckham at 5'10?? PUH-LEASE!!

Horace says on 26/Nov/11
WOOOOO!! Been waiting for this height. I love Gazza. I reckon right now this is accurate. Always seemed 5'10 to me though. Next to a 6'1 Peter Shilton and 6'1-2 Waddle he always seemed 5'10 or even taller (which I doubt). Right now though I think this is accurate. He is getting back on track but for a while he was a sick, sick man who couldve easily dropped in height. The Gazza File is in his book isnt it? Which wasnt released until his career was up

[Editor Rob: yes in 'Gazza:My story'.]

Physics Enemy says on 21/Nov/11
Beckham is definitely under 5' 11" Parker. He's 5' 10.25" at the very most but I think he's a solid 5' 10" in reality. He was even listed at 5' 10" in his very early playing days.

Physics Enemy says on 19/Nov/11
I doubt Best was 5' 9" in his 20's Parker, based on that pic with Becks. Becks is 5' 10". Unless Becks is wearing customs there.

Sorry Physics - no way is Beckham under 5'11.

Re-watched the Piers Morgan interview and in the old footy clips he looks 5' 10" range by eye, leaness/build/TV could be aiding that. Doubt he's under 5' 9". Not sure whether alcoholism decreases height ... why would it?

I don't know - but George Best was 5'9 in his 20's. Here he is age 57/58 next to David Beckham

Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 16/Nov/11
U have a massive slouch here rob and he still only looks 5'8.75 174.5ish. I know hes leaning too but your posture is horrible. Id peg him 5'8.5-5'8.75. He claims 5'9 and probably lost height in his crazy lifstyle.
5'9.25 seems awfully generous

[Editor Rob: I watched him with the 5 people in front and he had a slight lean every time so I was trying to match him a bit.

but I really didn't think he looked any less than 5ft 9.]

Editor Rob says on 16/Nov/11
I could put him 5ft 9 as he just put in his book, but I think he is a fraction over today.

When I met him I didn't know what he claimed. I thought he looked a real 5ft 9, plus a little less footwear and so 176cm range is a fair guess. Only a few months later, whilst browsing a charity shop, did I check his book and see the profile section with his 5ft 9 claim.

I heard from a crew member that day - after his shoot was delayed - that he wanted a pathway cleared from the 'green' room to the photoroom....now this was a 10 metre walk, I thought it was a bit bizarre...but this is Gazza, he clearly is a guy who has more troubles in a month than some of us have in a lifetime.

Physics Enemy says on 14/Nov/11
Real men don't inflate their height, like Gazza and Tyson. They arguably underlist themselves. Rob is the same. People like Glenn, Pitt, Bieber, Stallone etc have massive complexes and lie to protect their false image. There's nothing wrong with being the height you are, accept it. You earn respect by being honest rather than trying to deceive people.

GP says on 14/Nov/11
he claims 5'9", but throughout his career they listed him 177, it's interesting that they inflate even football players' height. Rob, you must've been very happy, he was a one of a kind player, who always fought for the ball and never gave up

Physics Enemy says on 14/Nov/11
Gazza !!! I'll take your word for it Rob since he's in sandals and neither of you are standing straight. Great interview with Piers Morgan the other night.
