Normally, during the season, I weigh 80-82kg, which is about 12 st 10lb - 13 st. I think that's best for my build and my height, which is five feet ten inches. Most players these days are taller and lighter, like greyhounds, but I'm more of a bulldog, as everyone is always telling me.

@iLogic7

Luke Shaw looks about over 1 1/2 inches shorter than Gareth Southgate (6ft0). So about 5ft10.5 (178.5cm) for Shaw.
oren metser said on 1/May/23
It is a good listing, 1.75m flat or just about 5'9
iLogic7 said on 23/Feb/23
You should do Luke Shaw he is listed on google as 185 but on field he looks like weak 178 and in united this eason is listed 178. Also his teammates Bruno Fernandes and Wan bissaka also doesnt seem the heights they are listed. Bruno is listed as 179 but looks next to raphina who is 175 2 cm taller and wan bissaka who claims 183 is sharter than him. Please do them
Editor Rob
Shaw definitely got a 2-inch inflation somehow.

no way he is 5ft10
I see him a bit under 5ft9
Lucid said on 23/Jul/22
Could we see a page for Paddy Pimblett? Trying to work out his height, this was him meeting Rooney.

Paddy is probably the next Conor McGregor, drawing a lot of attention from UFC so might be worth having a page for, I imagine a lot are interested since people are guessing his height. He claims 178 cm (5'10), not sure if he's accurate with that or not, judging by him meeting Rooney.

What Jim Broadbent said about Wayne in an episode of Jimmy McGovern's 'The Street' belonged in Room 101, which is about all I'm going to say about his character's drunken outburst! 🀐

Wayne is physically fit, plays his game well and has a happy, healthy family, so he's proved himself many times over. He's of average height and enjoys a Saturday night pizza with his wife, Coleen, and kids. πŸ•πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦πŸ• You can't beat a bit of normality!

Wayne was so young when he started playing for England, as was David Owen. He's still only 34 now - today! - so highly unlikely that he's lost any height, not even 15 years from now.

His wife Coleen is half-a-foot smaller than her husband - just nice! I found out Coleen's height from magazines long before I discovered Wayne's height, which was here.

Wishing him a lovely family day!

@Johnson No,he is not 180 if Beckham listed as 180 ,I don't have good pics to compare their height but what i see in many pics don't have any pics that Keane have same height as Beck.
Johnson said on 22/Dec/16
@dpp I would say Keane is actually 180 and Giggs as tall as Gary Neville with a leaked 179.4 in medicals
dpp said on 21/Dec/16
@Johnson giggs listed at 179 but infact he shorter than roy keane(178 listed) ,so maybe they should switch their height.Walcott is noway near 175 in show's pic he shorter than rooney near 2 cm.
Johnson said on 20/Dec/16
I would say Milner 177 and Young 177.5 are taller than Rooney
show said on 20/Dec/16
Rooney,Jmaes Milner and Ashley young -176 , Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain -173
Johnson said on 17/Dec/16
Walcott looks solid 175 cm. Perhaps in some medicals he reaches 175.5 but most of them around flat 175 cm.

I only see 3 cm between 179 cm tall Giggs (listed 179.4 at some time) and Rooney

You guys must all be dumbos b/c it doesn't get any closer than what:

Rooney with Giggs 179, back to back"

In the back to back, perfect pic, Giggs is stated everywhere online as being 5'10"
and clearly Rooney is 1.5-2" shorter.
Rooney is NO taller than 5'8'5". End of story with the solid proof. now shut up and go to bed.

Looks 173cm now. Was shorter than 174cm Jose last weekend!

rooney is 176cm, was once mistaken for 5'10.

@Rob how tall do you think Rooney is in the medical test for Manchester United? I guess it is between 9h-10h a.m

yes Johnson, I'd be more surprised if it was after mid-day, than before it.

Compared to many of his team mates for club and country he is on the short side. I dont know his exact height but nationally I have a feeling it is about bang on average for a man nationally.

Average height
Johnson said on 23/Sep/16
@Vibram we don't have good pics of Rooney and Vardy together. I can assure Vardy is 2 cm taller than Rooney
Vibram said on 21/Sep/16
Rooney is 175cm if Beckham is 180cm. Rob is spot on. That also puts Vardy at 176cm not 178cm. Vardy is also listed at 76kg (168lbs) which seems too high. He's very slight just like 64kg Mahrez, probably less than 70kg.
Johnson said on 16/Sep/16
Lallana is 177
Nightwish said on 4/Sep/16
Lallana looked taller in the post match interview after the Slovakia game... Rob, any chance Lallana is under-listed at 172cm?
Editor Rob
could be a case of being 5ft 8 at 17 and gaining a bit more and an old listing sticks around.

This is an issue sometimes in soccer with 17 year olds making professional debuts...you don't really get that with nfl when most of the guys are 20-21 and done growing by the time they turn pro's.
dpp said on 3/Sep/16
maybe he is just 174cm.
sasd said on 3/Aug/16
He is shorter than 174 listed Mourinho.
Johnson said on 18/Jul/16
@Heylo Nani is 176.5 cm. He would be similar to Rooney or slightly taller than Wayne. You can see Nani with Quaresma, who I think he is 174 cm at Palacio Belem in the picture of all Portugal players standing up
truth said on 13/Jul/16
@plus That is not even tall, most guys are around 5'10-5'11 with several under 5'10? Also you have to consider plenty are measured in 3 cm football shoes, I also think WIlshere is closer to 170 cm flat.
Mat said on 28/Jun/16
Rob, does your listing mean that Rooney during a football match would be 5'9, or is he 5'9 when doing regular normal activities ?
Editor Rob
I would say he generally is a 5ft 9 guy through the day.
Heylo said on 18/Jun/16
Rooney looks a full inch taller than 5'9 listed Nani. Portuguese player Luis Nani must be 5'8... if this listing is correct. Nani looks somewhat shorter next to Gary Neville (listed at 5'10) than what Rooney looks like next to him. I think 176cm is closer to the truth for Rooney. Strong 5'9, never dips below.
plus said on 17/Jun/16
@Height I only see 3 cm between him and Rooney. I always saw listings for Giggs of 179 cm tall, and even one leaked with decimals of 179.4 cm
SAK said on 15/Jun/16
@plus, yes you are right about it being quite a tall English team. So in comparison he is one of shortest player on the side.

I think footballers in general are getting taller. Obviously, there are still many great players below 5'10. But I just see a trend towards taller players, now. Player position is also important. Where usually defenders are preferred to be taller, as the extra height comes in handy.
Height said on 14/Jun/16
@plus isn't Giggs more a 179.5-180cm guy?
plus said on 14/Jun/16
@SAK yes because England squad this year is very tall: in my opinion Hart 194, Smalling 184, Cahill 192, Eric Dier 191, Harry Kane 188, Dele Alli 187.5, Rashford 184, Walker 182, Ross Barkley 185, Sturridge 182.5... at least then we have Bertrand 179.5, Danny Rose 173, Clyne 174.5, Sterling 170.5, Lallana 177, Vardy 178 and Wilshere 172.5...
SAK said on 11/Jun/16
I'm not sure how tall Rooney is. But compared to the his England teammates (Euro 2016) he looks really short.

Pitt is 5'10.75" or 179.5 cm, Rooney is 5'9" or 175 cm.

Height said on 27/May/16
I think he is closer to 176cm. Was listed at 178cm at Everton at age 16, but that was an exaggeration to add to his status of "wonder kid"...that measurement went on for several seasons but when he got to Manchester United, he was very similar in height to Ji Sung Park (176cm-177cm) and a bit taller than Nani (175cm).
plus said on 24/May/16
@CD I think Vardy is 5'10, 178 cm. And Drinkwater 177 cm and Mahrez 179 cm
CD said on 22/May/16
Rob, would you say Jamie Vardy is worth adding now? I think 5ft 9 is probably a limit for him as well.
Editor Rob
I don't know, in an ideal world I wouldn't hesitate to add as many as possible.

plus said on 21/May/16
@c-mo yes I agree. In 2-3 hours I am in the typical height of the day. I would also say that when Rob lists for example 175 it can be 174.5 or 175 exactly, because 174.5 is rounded at 175 perfectly and we don't use decimals. I guess he means 175 solid in listings here. Although, most of us have the same height in the evening that in the hour you said.Anyway I agree with you, some medical tests for footballers are earlier of that hour so I discount a bit of them... like PiquΓ© case
c-mo said on 19/May/16
plus said on 11/May/16
I think people should be listed in the usual height of the day, that is 10:00 a.m -18:00 p.m, so typical medical measurements would be valid, unless they are made very early in the morning (8:00-9:30), as it could be the case of some players from time to time.

-------------------------------

imo your real height is 2-3 hours out of bed . so not your TALLEST after fresh out of bed for seconds/minutes nor your night height . why 2-3 hours instead of 6 hours for example ? because medically speaking our morning height is our true height but since most of us are not active and not among other people when we wake up (we shower , drink coffee , eat breafast , take some time to become really awake before we go out) but 2-3 hours after we are already outside and walk around (depending on the schedule of each person of course but I am speaking in general) and that height should be taken IMO . so 176cm in rooneys case

176cm is possible also.
truth said on 7/May/16
@cmo This site usually lists people at their lowest height? Or maybe I am missing something? :D But yeah in my eyes is median height is 176cm or roughly about 5ft9.25-5ft9.5, he does not drop under 175cm/5ft9 at night. The listing is correct.
plus said on 6/May/16
@GP Memphis Depay is 175 cm, he is not taller than Rooney. Proofs?
movieguy said on 4/May/16
Pretty robust for a football player which maybe makes him appear shorter than he is. I'd sat 5'9'' or so.
Rick said on 3/May/16
Always thought he was 5'6. Thats the thing with guys 5'10 and under, they all seem shorter than they actually are.
GP said on 3/May/16
I think he is below 5'9". Memphis, who is 5'9", has an inch on Rooney. 176 was most likely with shoes on.
c-mo said on 3/May/16
truth said on 1/May/16
He was listed anywhere from 176-178cm (5ft9.5-5ft10). Probably a guy that wakes up at 177cm, is 176cm during the day and in the afternoon/when he goes to bed drops to 175cm. Solid 175cm/5ft9, no more.

---------------------------------------

you say that he wakes up as 177cm and is 176cm during the day in the afternoon and then at the end you say "175cm/5ft9, no more"

wtf

if he is 176cm during the day then he is 176cm !!!!!! ffs

Thanks for adding Wayne Rooney. He gives the impression of being bigger. Could he be 176 cm?

he was on here 10 years ago, but his page has returned...generally I think the 176cm is more 9-10am range for him.

This might be the closest to the truth, I don't fully believe that he was once listed 5'10" (178cm) although in a lot of cases he does look over 5'9". Maybe 176cm

5'8.25 at best and only way he can be 5'9 is out of bed
