Ter Stegen is a solid 186cm. He's listed 6'2 but he looks more shorter than 6'2 Jan Oblak. Speaking about Oblak, he is the weirdest 6'2 ive seen. He was listed 186cm on his first season with Atletico Madrid and with Rio Ave was 186 cm as well.He's been listed in recent years 188cm.He doesnt look none of those heights. He seems a solid 189cm. He looks big in goal compared to Ter Stegen. What do you think Rob?

@Rob, As for your comment on the Argentine, wasn't Aguero always listed as 173? Bet if it wasn't that unfortunate incident with his health, and he stayed longer with Barca, they'd have him at 175 cm anyday which would be a bit ridiculous.

Editor RobNo, I gave gave him a 171-3 adjustment after he did get that measurement!
Like I said on here, I thought there was a chance he would get near 5ft 8.

strong 186 guy if he managed to measure between 187.5-188.186-186.5 before bed and 188-188.5 out of bed.

Editor RobThis guy has once managed a taller height than Kaka...but you have to wonder sometimes about Real's height claims.
Remember Real put down Michael Owen as 176cm...
A lot of players do get taller measurements at Barca, I think even Aguero I bet will get 173cm range!

Should be a very solid 186cm guy if he's able to measure 188cm morning...should actually wake up a fraction over 6ft2

Well you're the boss Big Rob, though I suspect there could be more room for errors in Barca measurements adjusting the stadiometer. Ter Stegen never pulled off 6ft 1.5 let alone 6ft 2.

Editor RobI think he could look 6ft 1 to 1.5 range, but over that I couldn't believe afternoon height.

6ft 1 1/2 listing would be fair given his 188cm measurement.
@Editor Rob Substracting 1/2 inch from Barcelona figures could be standard on CelebHeights
I think you did this with Neymar, Griezmann, Rakitic, Xavi – with Iniesta 1/4 inch

Editor Robwith Marc there was a bigger difference going from just under 187 to 188 another occasion.
At least it looked between 10-11 range he was measured.

@cristi actually 180cm is very rare within professional football. Look at the teams in the top 5 leagues, under 188cm is already on the smaller side. I would say 6'2/6'3 is the median goalkeeper height

With my height of 188.3 in the morning and 186.2 at a low will I be average for a goalkeeper or below average?

@Rob
I analyzed both videos. I Just realized it is not 186.5 and Bust a Gut 186.8
He is just stretched and the oscilator stops at 186.8. Not breathing in and gaining from 186.5 to 186.8. So not 186.5. Just the digital oscilator stops like when you weigh in
It is not the case of Coutinho when he breathes in and he gains
He was measured before 10.30 in second video, I see when he runs in the machine clock marks 10 45
Possibly the first video he was shorter because he was in the typical low and just in the second one there is some mms over top of head. Yes there is a higher variation than expected but I don't think he us shorter than 186.8

Editor RobI would still say that there is a bigger room for error than I thought with those stadiometers due to having somebody calibrate it.
10.30 to 1pm could account for 1cm for sure in some taller people.

Editor RobIt looks the same stadiometer model he got the 186.8. Around 1cm is a very big variation, and to me raises the question of whether it has been calibrated properly.

Do you think that keepers are submitted to a potential premature height loss ?

@Rob

Editor RobI would say some keepers will do more potential damage to their discs, which might catch up to them in their latter years. It might actually have been an interesting long-term study on footballers - measuring their height at start of career, then at 30, 40 and 50 to see what positions (if any) have a more negative impact on stature.

Hey Rob, I found something interesting, look at this pic: Click Here
This shows Stegan isn't taller than 185 Bravo (Given he is a solid 185 which is still doubtful)
and this one: Click Here The picture with 6'1(Wiki) Cillesen and Marc and Marc is edged by half inch which means he shouldn't be taller than 184........
So even though I am convinced Marc's morning measurement of 186.8 is accurate, I don't think he shoudl fall into a solid 6'1 range, 6 foot and half, same as Bale,would be closer, because I don't see he is taller than CR7....But still, very tough to guess his real height, considering his height among GK is quite low, what he's done this season is phenomenal

Editor RobI suppose it depends on how much somebody loses. Certain people only lose half an inch, others 1.5 inches...I think generally going with close to 2cm as the average is fair.

Editor Rob: well he seemed to gain 3mm by breathing in, so was 186.5 then up to 186.8 and these medicals are done sometime in the am, obviously after a few hours of being awake...hence I think shrinking much more than 1-1.5cm more than what he measures is unlikely.
----------
rob why do you list him as 186cm then ? if we take into consideration that he measured 186.8 we actually have a number . and if he is already awake for a couple of hours then 187cm is very fair tbh

Editor Rob because by afternoon he will shrink towards 6ft 1.25 and I'm going with that range.

I'm surprised he's this tall, I got more of a 184-5 impression from him. Hard to imagine that he's taller than Ronaldo, but the evidence is clear.

Editor Rob I'd say that is likely.
if you were a goalkeeper like ter Stegen, you would be thought of as a bit less than average these days at 6ft 1.

Great addition.
I agree with this listing. Routine medical checkings are early in the morning for players, whereas medical check ups for signed new players are a little later in Barcelona
On this case it was early. It was routine preseason

So if Busting a Gut he is 6'1.7-6'1.8" early morning that means he is a strong 6'1 so 186cm would be it.

Editor Rob a few hours out of bed and Busting a Gut like that, I would say he falls into a solid 6ft 1 range.
