I think 188 cm is good for Mario Gomez.

I think this picture is pretty accurate to compare heights of some Barcelona players

Is it just me or does Neymar seem taller than Arda Turan when you look at him from far distance? As I get closer to the screen, I notice that Arda is actually taller. I guess it's just their built; Neymar due to beeing skinnier seems a bit taller, and Arda has a bigger head overall. I think Neymar is 174cm, Arda Turan 176cm, Dani Alves 172cm, Jordi Alba around 169cm (or a tad over that)
If we talk about Goalkeepers, Ter Stegen seems to be slouching a bit, maybe to fit in. In this photo he looks about 186cm or a tad above that. Claudio Bravo might actually be what he's listed at, 185cm. I don't see him below 184cm though.

@Z187
To be honest I'm 183.3cm at my lowest but I usually claim 184cm as my height,this is what I measure around midday.
Don't know if Torres is taller than me or not (probably is), I really don't care. And yes, he's my fav player (with Ronaldo9) because I use to remember him playing for Atletico and Liverpool when I was a kid and when he was a top striker. I hope Atletico Madrid will win UCL final on 28th of May, they deserve it.

@spainman191cm
Currently I weigh 169 pounds (77kg).
Yeah, I've got that kind of body: I'm a fitness addicted and a triathlete in my spare time.
I played football until I was 21, now I'm 25 (I miss it).
Let me tell you have an enviable height: I think you feel really tall in your country!
Z187 said on 5/May/16
@Appe 6ft 0.5 ... If you are 6ft 0.5 (184cm) he is probably the same as yourself, congrats! He is a cm or so taller than 182 Gerard and shorter than 186 ish muller and the guy who had a photo with him.... What I can't understand is... Why he's your fave player? Have you not heard of Harry Kane, Deli Alli and Eric dier ;)

@SAK Claudio Ranieri coach is taller than Mahrez, and Ranieri was listed 182cm when a football player.
Now at 64yo he is not over 180cm (but probably he holds 180cm); I think Mahrez is exactly 178cm.
Editor Rob
mahrez frame can give him a taller impression on the pitch.

Rob, I have recently asked this guy (as you can read) who met Nando at Madrid airport if Torres is around 185cm.
He answered me "yes", telling me "I am 186cm tall".
Don't you think there is more than just 1cm between them in the photo?
Editor Rob
might not be more than half inch between them, with hairdo's though, it can be harder to tell...also if they had same shoes or not

Rob, considering we can use both Xabi and Gerrard as benchmarks (let's go with 182,8 -183cm around midday), do you agree with the fact that Gerrard's body tipe (long legs, larger shoulders and smaller head) makes him look taller than Xabi (shorter legs, narrow shoulders and bigger head) in general? If I didn't know they are 183cm, probably in a photo where they re standing alone I would have guessed around 180 for Xabi and around 183cm for Gerrard.
For example Torres is a player who can look taller than he actually is due to his very small head, very lean body and right proportions, don't you think? He can give the impression of a full 186cm guy when alone to me.
Editor Rob
definitely a head size that is smaller than average can add to an illusion of height and the reverse can be true - a longer head makes an overall impression that can appear to be shorter.

Editor Rob: I mentioned before, I seen Lampard at the airport (in fact jenny noticed him first if I remember)...he looked similar to big alex on here, a good 6ft range....I'd say he probably is a bit taller if measured than a guy like gerrard, who may well fall a little shy of 6ft

Thank you Rob, hope you list on here asap football players like Lampard, Torres and Ronaldo9.

@Rob you listed Gerrard 183cm and I agree with it since I think he shrink under 183cm Only at his lowest for example after a match.
In my opinion Lampard is exactly a cm taller so 184cm. If you Google "Torres and Lampard" you Can see a lot of photos of them standing together.
Would you say that averagely Torres edges (for a fraction) Lampard or they are exactly the same (around 184cm)? The difference is almost not noticeable in many case to me...

Rob i've seen that you add actors like luca argentero that only 100-200 people in the world know who is.....why you don't add MORE important people like Rooney, Ramos,Ronaldinho,Totti,ronaldo9. Actually in this site there are most wrestler like Cena,Big show,the rock,sheamus ecc than footballer and football is more popular looool
Editor Rob
wrestlers are quite popular, the big show page more than a guy like beckham or ronaldo on here...but some names will get added.

175 yes but some measures date back 16-17 y.o as in Cesc Fabregas case. He is listed 175 cm yet in Chelsea but he was listed 179 cm (I think it is his height) in Barcelona. Thiago is listed now 174 cm in Bayern website in German

@Dan I can't agree more with you. I don't know most of people listed here but there are classic footballers with over 50 international games and with several world cups participations that could have a spot due to his status in football. As Pirlo, Cafú, Maldini, Ronaldinho, Casillas, Rooney and Seedorf for example

I agree with you guys. Millions of actors and models and only 5 football player:(

@Rob I am waiting for the semifinal match of Champions League Atletico - Bayern also to see if Torres is taller than Lewandowski (if noticeable).
What do you think about it guys?
Dan said on 25/Apr/16
Rob, I think you should give an individual page to at least a few dozen footballers (most of the starting players of Barca, Madrid, Bayern United, Chelsea etc). Right now I think the site is slightly biased to actors and singers, there must be at least 1000 pages of obscure actors that very few people are aware of. Surely pages for legends in the past and modern footballers like Rooney and Ronaldinho are warranted? I'm literally in disbelief that Coleen Rooney has a page but Wayne doesn't. Sorry for the little rant Rob.
Editor Rob
there is still potential to add big players, it is a question of who.

a) 184-184,5cm
b) 183,5-184cm
Jakob said on 19/Apr/16
@Appe 6ft 0.5

I think Torres always looks more than just six foot, i would guess he holds 184cm for most of the day. At times he can even look 185cm. Probably a good 6ft 1in upon rising. He could look a bit taller than a guy like Steven Gerrard who can't be much less that six foot. Agreed on Martinez, he can look near 6ft 3, and yeah llorente can pull off a similar height to Ibra, he looks a big 6'4" guy to me.

After I have seen a lot of photos of andriy Shevchenko, I surely rule out the fact he could be under 182cm.
He' s in the 182-183cm range, near the 183cm mark he has Always been listed.

@Rob Is it true you saw a video of Ozil being measured at 5'8 or 5'9?? Could you post the link? What was that?
Editor Rob
there is a link Here.

Watch to see his pose...that height we know is 173cm for the 'pose height' and it is just taken with a tape beside and a ruler on top of head probably (based on how they were doing other measurements).

The question was, how much height is he losing in the pose.....3 inches is impossible. 1 inch, I don't know..
Appe 6ft 0.5 said on 18/Apr/16
@Jakob I think Javi Martinez is 190cm as listed (looks 2 inches taller than 185cm players), Ozil between 178 and 179cm and Llorente is as tall as Ibra (I would say 194cm for sure).
What do you think about Fernando Torres midday height?
Jakob said on 17/Apr/16
Javi Martinez looks a big 6'2" guy, Ozil on the German national side looks of average height, maybe 5ft 10 range? Llorente I'm not sure, he's not under 6ft 4 for sure, I've seen him listed 195 and 193 cm, maybe he's in between.

@plus you re probably right about fernando torres' height story. Personally I ve never seen that 181cm mark but I remember in his young years he was always listed 183cm x 73kg (this is what I think he was at 18 years old and he could have grown about 2cm after).
I actually think he would be between 184 and 185cm if measured around midday, 4 hours after waking up.

plus said on 9/Apr/16
Fernando Torres was 181 cm at 16 years old. I found old listings of 181, coming off in the season of debut with 17 years old but that season he had started with 16 years old. So the medicals were 181 cm. 183 cm starting the next season with 17 years old. My estimations 183.5 at 18 and 184 at 19. At 21 and adulthood 184.5 cm tall.

Hart and Kompany were quite a bit taller than me

Here's some guesses of my own on the Barcelona side in recent months:

Term Steven - 184
Alves - 170

Pique - 192
Mascherano - 173
Busquets - 187
Rakatic - 182
Iniesta 169
Neymar 173
Suarez 179
Messi 168

I may be off by a cm on some but I think they look around that
Football said on 7/Apr/16
CN Rom89, I think you are pretty accurate with most of those. The only ones I disagree with by more than a cm or two is:

De Gea - Personally I don't think he looks more than 188cm
Van der Sar - Was listed 197cm pretty consistently during his career, and looked that height to me; 199 seems too high. Again, your other guesses seen pretty spot on.

appe 6ft0.5 said on 7/Apr/16
@plus No chance morata is that tall. He probably hit 188,5cm just out of bed but not more. He's an honest 187cm anyway (look at him next to chiellini who I met several times, Chiellini is exactly 187cm and Morata is not taller). I also think Morata is 1cm taller than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Totti is surely not 181cm, 179-180cm is the range we can discuss about.
Buffon is about 3cm taller than Chiellini, Barzagli and Bonucci: strong 190cm (maybe 191cm).

Chiellini and Barzagli are ok at 187cm.
Zaza I believe is 184-185cm.
Morata at 189cm is a joke, he is never taller than Chiellini (there are a lot of photos where you can notice it); I think Morata is around 187 anyway.
Mandzukic is a strong 188cm guy, with the chance of being 189cm.

Perfect photo to judge Xabi Alonso and Gerrard heights.
I think they have identical heights ( +/- 0,5cm).
Xabi was officially listed 182,7cm back in time at Real Madrid ( I trust it supposing he was measured in a medical).
Gerrard and Xabi are weak 6ft or 182,5cm (in my opinion we can use both of them as benchmarks to value other players heights).

Godin is listed on the web 188,187 and 186cm: let's assume he is a legit 188cm guy. If we assume that in this photo Torres doesn't look for sure over 183cm. (he seems like a flat 6ft guy)

@alexbigguy, very interesting! You re the first person in here who I ve heard met fernando torres! Did you see him very close/did you take a photo with him? Anyway, about Simone Zaza 185cm sounds good. He is surely around this mark (100% between 184cm and 186cm)

Not sure Ramos deserves his own page..if you open up that door then so does Aguero,Muller etc. So its easier just to officially list a handful of the most famous.

I think it is better sticking to having a selection of top players as if you add those at the level below say ronaldo/messi, you suddenly could have a few hundred.

@5ft 9.25
I find it very strange about Klose since he seems taller than 182cm usually, but it's his official site and there is no reason a player should underlist himself.
In my opinion there is 0% chance Toni Kroos is that low, he usually stands 1cm shorter than Sergio Ramos who is a 183cm guy.
Schweinsteiger is very similar to Kroos (not sure who s the taller) so, as I said in the past, I would go with 181-182cm for him.

He never seemed to me that small when he was the coach of Inter F.C.

Here he's between 184cm Nadal and 182,7cm Xabi Alonso. Mou is a legit 177cm man as you can notice in many photos with his players.

1. the camera angle;
2. their shoes;
3. their posture.

he might have a little less shoe than ronaldo so it is possible to see 184cm for him. Maybe that is the mark I would give him...

I don't know how the data was accumulated but the peaks/troughs match up to even feet/inches like 5ft 9, 10, 11, 6ft etc.

If 85% or so of the data was given in true metric from associations, the peaks/troughs shouldn't be as harsh as the chart shows.

Something is off with the over abundance of players sitting on full inch marks and far less of them on the half inch marks when you consider if 85% was metric.

Robert Lewandowski
Rafa Nadal

I would have thought Nadal/Lewadonski/Torres might all have a decent chance of 184, maybe Bale almost 184 is possible. They probably all would come within around a centimetre of each other if measured.
Appe 6ft 0.5 said on 9/Mar/16
@5ft 9.25 in my opinion there is zero chance lewandowski is under 6ft. He looks and he is around it (maybe a cm over); he looks taller than 182.7cm xabi alonso and is very close in height with 185-186 cm listed players (krykowiak for example).
My bet he is between 183 and 184cm dinner time (dont know if more 183 or 184)
I think he is exactly as tall as bale
Cristiano Ronaldo would edge him out as Ronaldo does with all strong 6ft players
5ft 9.25 said on 5/Mar/16
Couldn't find a pic with CR7 but you can see roughly 4ins on Manuel Neuer (192cms at Schalke). Neuers eye level should be 5" and the upper part of his head 4.5".
Pics with Bale show about 1in.
5ft 9.25 said on 5/Mar/16
Lewandowski is 6' .25 to 5'11.25 through the day. He must be essentially shorter than Nadal because he stands closer to the cam. As I'd mentioned he used to get listed 181cms and 184 (current 185).
A nice compare should be Gareth Bale (6') and Cristiano Ronaldo (6'1).

I dont' know where Appe get's his heights from, 6'1 for Borriello? who has been listed at 5'11 his whole career, from games to websites?

Lallana is 172
OX is 175(the reason he was listed 180 was the same as why Wilshere was once 177 and Arteta 178)
For some reason Arsenal and Chelsea players got exaggerated, Mata at 175(171), Oscar 181(179), Malouda 180(175) Essien180(178) Hazard 176(173)
Lampard is listed 181 on ESPN, which could be right because he looked short than his cousin Jamie Redknapp(182/183) on ALOTO where as
Gerrard 182, looked around the same height
Gyan has been listed everywhere from 5'10 to 6'1, so 181 seems right
Torres is 184 but starts off at a weak 185
Luke Shaw 179/180 honestly doesn't look taller than Giggs, Kyle Walker or Januzaj
Januzaj 180/181(he may have grown because now he's listed a 6'0?)
Niang 184
Mascherano 173(haha 180, west ham you're funny)

Surely Insigne is overlisted at 163cm. Verratti instead is a legit 165cm.
Google "insigne and Higuain" for example and you will see there are not "only" 20cm difference between them.
This is a squad photo, pay attention to the height difference between Insigne and 174cm Armero who is next to him: around 15cm difference I would say.

At the end, I would bet money Insigne is in the 159-161cm range

@Appe 6ft0.5 I agree with your comments and 176.5 for Pirlo would suit him. Don't you think he is as tall as Cafú and Seedorf? In Spain there were lots of listings of Torres of 184 cm back in the day. I would say 183 cm at 17 years old, 183.5 at 18 and 184.5 21 and more. Torres weights around 80 kg nowadays, it was leaked some weights in the squad for some weeks he was oscilating back and forth that figure. About Verratti he is underlisted, he is no less that 167 cm

the stadiometers the barcelona players were measured on looked good quality and I would believe were accurate, the Ibra one looked a bit older but still based on how tall Ibra looks, I'd say his measurement was accurate.

Time of day though and breath in posture for some guys can mean they measure taller than you expect. Pique may well be a guy who can stretch up more taller for a measurement than he generally looks around other players.

Thanks for the the video, I was very surprised to find that Anna Simon is not even 5ft7! She is between 168-169(169 I would give her) because as you said they round down the fraction, it would be great to find the whole program
In my opinion Zidane is 6ft0.5-6ft0.75... Not the full 6ft1 he can appear shorter than Ronaldo and very similar to Nadal

@Lmeister,

Not really familiar with him, but Oxlade-Chamblerlain had this picture of him and 5'7.5" rapper Tyga on his instagram:

Even being charitable and trying to explain it away with angles and possible footwear difference, you're right. He is nowhere near 5'11".
Lmeister said on 7/Jan/16
Lallana is a strong 5ft8 = 173-174cm. He is just a hair shorter than Wayne Rooney who is 5ft9 = 175cm.

Oxlade-Chamblerlain is not even close to 180cm. I'd estimate him in 173-175cm range.

Rob,What about these french players?many are former winners of the 1998 World Cup
Zidane 6'0.75 looks sometimes 6'1 sometimes slightly less
Blanc 6'3.25 looks about 2.5" taller than Zidane
Pires 6'0.75 around the same as Zidane you could argue 6'0.5 and 6'1 for both of them
Trezeguet 6'1.25 possibly 6'1.5 but no more about 0.5" taller than Pires
Malouda 5'9 maybe 5'9.25 crazy that he's listed 181,183 and even 184
Thuram 5'11.75 and looks it
Barthez 5'11-11.25 listed 183 but looks about 4-5cms shorter than Pires,maybe measured in shoes?
Henry 6'1.75-6'2
Rami 6'2.25
Ginola 6' I think 6'1 a little bit too much
Editor Rob
Bartez could have been a bit under six foot, Pires looked over six foot at times yeah. Henry very close to 6ft 2, Thuram could at times look a six footer, then under it. Marcel Dessaily used to look quite tall at times, but really wasn't that much bigger than zidane who could look anywhere in 6ft 0.5-1 range.

Pogba 191cm 100% sure ( I met him 2 times in Turin)
Balotelli I think between 186cm and 187cm (I can t go with less than 186 for him; watch at Balo with Gerrard: Balo is clearly around 2 inches taller).
What do you think about Fernando Torres? I think around 184cm, but watch him next to Saul Niguez (183cm): he doesn't edge him out.

Interesting picture showing 172cm listed Lallana as taller than 180cm listed Oxlade-Chamblerlain, who looks more in-line with 172cm listed Wilshere and 170cm listed Sterling.

@spainmen191 About Zidane, I think he is exactly the same as Nadal (184,5). And I know you are interested about Pablo Motos, I can tell you that he was measured one day in "El Hormiguero". I could give you more explanations about that day. He was measured 164 cm at night (the program is around 22:00), and afterwards was measured with shoes after exercising and he was 167 cm. I would list him as 165 cm. In that program the 0,5 fraction was rounded down and not up.

Rory said on 18/Dec/15
@176.2cm..just because a player may have been measured a certain height at one short point in their career doesnt mean its accurate/true. I think the main ones id disagree with you on are Ronaldo(hes not 184 no way, hes a solid 185 and id argue 186 before i argued 184 and yes i am considering night heights and its interesting you use ramos being measured at 183.2 in the morning to justify him being 182, but at the same time ignore ronaldo being listed 186.5 on the same website and instead guess him at 184 ?). Pique, who is very close in height to 194 ibrahimovic, half an inch difference id say, so 191 is too low. All of your real madrid player listing are wrong rly, the rest of your listings i can kind of agree on but, Pepe 185 ? Benzema 181 ? Not for me, more like pepe 186-187, Benzema 183-184.

@Luca the only thing because I m 100% sure Balotelli is not 189cm: maybe, you ve already read that in previous posts, I met two times Giorgio Chiellini who' s an honest 187cm guy but no more (trust me); In all photos with Chiellini and Balotelli together you can notice how Balotelli is not taller than Chiellini. That's my opinion. He doesn't look a big 189cm on the pitch anyway. Rob too said he thinks Mario can look 186cm.

I would bet Rakitic is normally around 183,5 (184). I would not trust in just a medical measurement of 182,7 that is the same as 183 cm. He said that he had shrunk, and I guess if we were able to see medical height of this year we had a different and higher figure. Rakitic 183,5 and Suarez 181 cm (180,5).

@Rob, thanks for that estimate. Stuff I'd seen recently pointed to him being maybe even slighty under 6'2", and it surprised me when I began to look closer since it was always talked about how tall he was in the American media. He doesn't strike me as particularly tall and certainly not for his position.

When he came to Wolfsburg, Mandzukic was actually listed as 186cm, then in the end and in his first year with Bayern as 187m and then suddenly as 188cm. Now he is listed as 190m in Turin?

It is very strange. I think 187m is correct, he can appear taller because of his very linear body build.

@176.2 cm No possibilty Lewandowski is so "short". Maybe that was an old listing of him when 17-18 y.o. (This happens frequently in football stats).

@Rob,

How tall is Everton goalkeeper and United State national team player Tim Howard? I see 6'3" and 6'2" most often for listings, though I've even seen a few 6'4" listings. Obviously 6'3" is pretty much out of the question, but I've been wondering if he's even a full 6'2"? I think he could get a way with some exaggerations because he has the kind of built physique that could pull it off, but he honestly doesn't strike me as being on the borderline of really tall; he just looks regular tall, to me.
Editor Rob
wouldn't have guessed him over 6ft 2, that is the most I'd have thought, and you could well say a fraction under that.
