If it wasn't for the table that I was unaware of, he would've looked taller.

Still noticeably taller than Rob even with the massive camera disadvantage. But whether how much exactly is quite hard to tell.

Editor RobWasn't a great photo because of the big table in the way and having to lean. Certainly wasn't over 5ft 8 when speaking to him.

Modern day footballers are I believe taller than previous generations. The old style 6'2'' centre forward is now longer a giant.

Denis was always listed as 5'9.75" in the sixties. Perhaps he has shrunk a little.

There is an iconic picture from circa 40 years ago when Denis Law and Best were training in the sun. The two men look 2-1/2-3 inches different in height with Law the taller man. Best is most often said to be 5ft 8-9 and Law as a young men was said to be 5ft 9-10.

Saw him today on a plane to the Algarve with his wife and I assume daughter- he is 71 now and has lost a bit of weight compared to the picture above. I wouldn't place him as 5ft 9. I would have thought on the basis of today he was more like 5ft 7. I was quite close to him on plane and am 6ft tall so feel comfortable saying he is no longer 5ft 9

In the 60's he'd have been 5ft10 which was quite tall for players in those days. He was a good header of the ball....like Henrik Larsson a good leap that meant he could out jump taller defenders.

Good player in his day. I met him and Best a few years ago, George looked about 5'7" and quite obviously was in a really bad state. What's with an Arsenal shirt behind him?
