Rob any guesses for Peter Schmeicel? I think he looks close to his 6'4" listing don't you think?
Editor Rob
always thought schmeicel was one of those guys who was maybe 6ft 3.5

David Seaman was listed at 6'4" a lot I think but he is more 6'3" I think. Schmeicel to me actually looks a legit 6'4", big dane.

Iniesta is a strong 5'7, while Xavi is a solid 5'6 (this is his official listing in his early career)

Messi is something between 168cm - 169.5cm. He is at least 3 inches taller than Maradona

Is Gary Pallister 6'4"? Missed that one and I was a huge Manu fan as a teenager in the 90s. Cantona was always listed at 6'2" in the old Carling sticker albums I think.

messi is not too short..He look nearly 5'7..flat 5'6-5'6.5 is good

Never forget his humility. It always cut some height through posture. I don't understand why to spend time discussing heights taken time over time in medical exams.

6ft?? thats peter schmeichel in the middle, listed 6'4 and 6'5 during his time with man utd, probably closer to 6'3 in reality though as he was shorter than ~6'4 gary pallister but taller than eric cantona listed 6'1 and 6'2

look how tall Pele looks next to the other players and he is listed as 5ft6.5 here..Pele doesn't look much shorter than Rooney...Click Here

looking at that picture, it seems Messi is also slightly taller than Dani Alves. I don't know why Dani Alves gets listed 171-173 almost everywhere when he seems to be around 167-169 range....

Agreed. Maradona might even be 5'3.5 today. He's not been in the best health, but I can't imagine a 51 year old has lost too much height. He definitely needs to be knocked down from his 5'5 peak listing.

I say Messi is a strong 5ft 5

Nah - That would put Maradona under 5'3. He's short, but not that short.

I think this listing is spot on, Maradona 5'4. Agree with Leonari I doubt he was ever a full 5'5.

Rooney's 'Official' height is 5'10, but I think he's rounding up. I'd put him at 5'9. Again Maradona looks 5'4 here - He's only 51 so doubt he'd have lost a full inch in height since his playing days

Xavi always looks shorter than Messi cause he is yet he gets listed a full 5'7" everywhere!
leonari said on 14/Jan/12
The three best footballers of all time are all below average. Maradonna: Peak height 5'5" (and possibly a fraction under if you ask me), Pele: 5'8" official height could be a bit smaller as well. Messi: 5'6.5

my girlfriend fancies the pants of this guy but was dissapointed when she found out he was only 5'6 1/2.

Yup, spot on. Relatively short man. Best footballer to live.

Yeah, i was trying to make a case of xavi being lower than he gets listed. i do think iniesta is 5'7" though with xavi at 5'6" and messi inbetween
miko said on 12/Jan/12
Closer to 5'7 than 5'6.
Clyde said on 12/Jan/12
He is the best soccer player in the world
Ikbob said on 12/Jan/12
@josh

That's because Xavi is actually around 168. 169 for Messi is correct.
Joe said on 12/Jan/12
I've noticed that Josh. Though i think Xavi and Iniesta are under 5'7.
Henkka said on 11/Jan/12
Definitely in the 5'6"-5'6.5" range, nothing more and nothing less.
Josh (170-12) said on 11/Jan/12
I think he generally looks 5'6" but then he sometimes appears taller than a 5'7" listed Xavi
Parker said on 11/Jan/12
A 5'6.5 Messi puts Maradona at a max 5'4.

the was a documentary about his life that I saw and I could have sworn he was mentioned as 1.68m
Joe said on 10/Jan/12
He's a strange one. Sometimes he can look this height and then he can look an inch shorter.

This listing sounds fair...5'6" at worst.
