Rob, what about Tyrone Mings? He is said to be 6 ft 4 5 you could add him on the site give him a listing he will start for England at the euros.
Editor Rob
he did claim to be 6ft 5, can look taller than 6ft 4 flat
Jonus said on 8/Jun/21
@Shandora
He looks a solid 187/188 guy
@Ajax509 Haha Rabiot doesn't tower him, they look the same height. Rabiot edges him out yes.
Riccardo89 said on 7/Jun/21
@Rob
Hi Rob i would like to know your opinion about 2 players.
First is Ciro Immobile, who plays for Lazio. He is a strange one because he is listed at 6'1 but he does give a shorter imoression to me.
Click Here
With 6'3 Milinkovic-Savic
Click Here
With Luis Alberto 5'11 range
Click Here
Again luis alberto.
And the second player is Christian Vieri, listed 6'1 or max 186cm.
Here with Lukaku,
Click Here
Here in his prime with Ronaldo
Click Here
With Ronaldo and 195/196 Francesco Toldo.
Click Here
With 6'3.5 Blanc and 5'11.75/6' Thuram,
Click Here not good picture.
Editor Rob
Immobile never really looks like 6ft 1
However Vieri used to give a tall impression like 6ft 1.
Lava said on 7/Jun/21
Van Der Sar: 198 cm out of bed. 197 cm lunch. 196 cm before bed.
ajax509 said on 6/Jun/21
@Shandora
PSG does have him at 183cm, though he gets inflated up to 189cm through the web.
A solid 6ft 2 Rabiot does tower Kimpembe.
Shandora said on 5/Jun/21
Thoughts on Kimpembe ? He looks like he is above 6ft and he is always edged out by solid 6’2 guys... tricky case
L? V?nh H?ng said on 3/Jun/21
what do you think about Ansu Fati, he's listed 5'10 but I can't see him be over 5'8
Editor Rob
proportionally 5ft 8-9 is what I'd have guessed.
Grandpa said on 2/Jun/21
Rob, does your religion or ancestry has to do something with the fact that you're cheering for Celtic and not Rangers?
Editor Rob
Traditionally it has been a lot to do with religious association, like Celtic with Catholic and Rangers with Protestant.
Rem said on 30/May/21
Rob what about Timo Werner. Listed at 5'11 but does not look that tall. Isn't he more a 5'9 guy?
Editor Rob
5ft 11 seems hard to imagine
Grandpa said on 29/May/21
Yes, I think that 6 for Silva has to be off the table. He's always so visibly shorter than Lampard also. Sometimes I see that 5-11,5 or 5-11,75, but more often just 5-11,25. Would you add him to this website? And also, how tall do you think is Otamendi? He looks as suspicious as Silva, thanks.
Grandpa said on 28/May/21
Rob, I have to agree with Joe Pavel on Silva, he looks 5-11. And his heir, Marquinhos, maybe not even 5-11, I think they're height liars in the soccer world. What do you think?
Editor Rob
the more I've seen of Silva the less likely 6ft looks
Rory said on 27/May/21
Id go 5ft11.5 or 5ft11.75 for Thiago Silva, roughly 182cm.
Joe Pavel said on 26/May/21
Hey, Rob! Please tell me your opinion on Thiago Silva. He always looks shorter than Cavani and very similar to Icardi and Firmino, I think that he's listed higher just because the position he plays. What do you think? Thanks.
Editor Rob
Could be 5ft 11.5 range the more I've seen...he doesn't have a big head, so that maybe can enhance his appearance when standing alone
Joe Pavel said on 24/May/21
Hey, Rob! Could you please add Thiago Silva? It's the height I'd like to see the most on this site at the moment, he's a superstar for a last decade now and I think many people love him. I asked for him a few times now. Please, Rob, and thanks!
David Donatus said on 23/May/21
Rob, how tall is Emmanuel Adebayor? Listed as 191cm and looks very tall.
Editor Rob
yeah, I doubt any less than 191cm
recapa said on 21/May/21
how tall do you think auba is.i thought that he could be a legit 6ft1.
Joe Pavel said on 20/May/21
Hey, Rob! I'm also interested in Xabi Alonso, he's one of my favourites. What would you list him, 5 and 11,50? Thanks.
Editor Rob
that figure is what I could give him, however he was pretty close to Gerrard back in their playing days...so arguably he could be near 6ft
Rory said on 19/May/21
Ive seem Sol Campbell up close, hes taller than 186cm. His posture isnt very good but id be surprised if stood fully he was any shorter than 6ft2. Im 185 and Sol with poor posture was still taller than me.
I also think Xabi Alonso has a good chance of being six foot, no shorter than Steven Gerrard imo.
miko said on 18/May/21
I think Heskey had both 6'1 and 6'2 listings through his career. He was likely a 185cm range guy, he was shorter than John Terry/Sol Campbell.
FloJ said on 16/May/21
Rob is Toni Kroos 181 or 182 cm?
Editor Rob
maybe between that range
Jake said on 15/May/21
How tall is Emile Heskey, Rob? Solid 6’2”?
Editor Rob
weaker 6ft 2
David Donatus said on 11/May/21
Rob, how tall is Hugo Lloris of Spurs? He's listed as 188cm.
Editor Rob
wouldn't have guessed a full 188, but less
recapa said on 9/May/21
also,how tall do you think is xabi alonso.i think that he is around the 181-182cm range.
Editor Rob
wouldn't have gone as high as 6ft for xabi
recapa said on 9/May/21
how tall would you say was van persie .at least 6ft1
Editor Rob
he could seem that range
Axel Lextor said on 3/May/21
Hello big Rob Here is a photo of some players from the man city where de bruyne is next to many players who are around the 5'10 range. What strikes me is that gundogan looks the same height as fernandinho and bruyne. the angle is bad or something like that? since you can see his feet and they are not on tiptoe
Click Here
Editor Rob
Gundo can look solid 5ft 9 range, maybe he is 176cm, Mahrez about 178cm range there.
Jonus said on 2/May/21
Hi Rob,
Why is it 6'1 Rashford is towered by 6'2.5 Ruben Loftus Cheek and 5'11.25 Kyle in this picture? Is it the angles? Camera trickery is so annoying haha. Kyle Walker (in front of Ruben) who is a strong 5'11 looks as tall as Ruben? Maybe a slanted floor perhaps?
Click Here
Editor Rob
Looking at the ceiling it does seem it favours the left side more than Rashford's side there.
David Donatus said on 27/Apr/21
Rob, how tall is John Mikel Obi? Former Chelsea player listed as 188cm
Editor Rob
maybe under 6ft 2, never really thought of Mikel as a big 6ft 2 player
Lula said on 26/Apr/21
Hey Rob, look this photo. Aguero is 170, so lautaro Martinez how tall?
Click Here
Editor Rob
generally I'd have said near 5ft 8
Hunter said on 23/Apr/21
Rob, what do you think about Vinícius Júnior height? He is listed as 176 cm (5'9.25)
Editor Rob
maybe 175 from what I've seen, would be surprised if he was a 176 guy
Axel Lextor said on 21/Apr/21
How tall is gundogan ? He listed in 180 bur look 175
Editor Rob
looks a 5ft 9 range guy more than 5ft 10 or 180cm which is ludicrous really.
Rem said on 19/Apr/21
Rob what is your guess on Phil Foden? He is listed at 5'6 in many pages but in my opinion he seems noticeably taller than that.
Editor Rob
5ft 6.5 up to 7 is arguable.
Jake said on 18/Apr/21
How tall do you think Mason Greenwood is Rob?
David Donatus said on 15/Apr/21
Rob, how tall is Jude Bellingham? He's a rising talent.
Editor Rob
not seen that much of him and could still potentially gain some height.
mande2013 said on 4/Apr/21
So Rob: can you end the misery and come up with an estimate for Didier Deschamps
This picture makes it clear Griezmann is a little taller:
Click Here
Editor Rob
Didier when playing always gave me a 5ft 7 range impression
David Donatus said on 1/Apr/21
Rob, when you say Haaland looks a big 6'4. What range do you mean exactly?
Editor Rob
6ft 4 and change and may not measure under 6ft 4 at night
Tajaun said on 30/Mar/21
Here's a quote from Haaland, Rob. Around the 1:55 mark in this video,
Click Here , he said he joined Molde at 187 cm and 73 kilos and left at 193 cm and 93 kilos.
Editor Rob
I did say I should give Haaland a page, thanks for pointing that little video out!
Eric1552 said on 25/Mar/21
Rob, how tall do you think the Inter Milan player Achraf Hakimi is? he is listed as 1.81.
Editor Rob
would have thought at most 180cm, though proportionally he can appear taller at times

Rob, how tall do you think Erling Haaland is?
Editor Rob
Looks a big 6ft 4

B) 5’6.75”?
C) 5’7”?
D) 5’7.25”?
E) 5’7.5”?
F) Something else?
Editor Rob
I'd go for more a-b range
David Donatus said on 21/Mar/21
Rob, How tall is Pep Guardiola? He looks 5'11 with Jose Mourinho.
Editor Rob
he might be close to 180cm
David Donatus said on 16/Mar/21
Rob, how tall is Riyadh Mahrez? He's listed as 179cm.
Editor Rob
looks shorter than kevin de bruyne, I'd have said roughly 5ft 10 range
Tajaun said on 13/Mar/21
Rob, does Matthijs de Ligt seem to have gained height since 2019? I noticed you guessed him around 187 cm back then and had him as 188 cm a few months ago.
Editor Rob
around 19 he may well have put a little extra on, he could be in 188 range
David Donatus said on 11/Mar/21
Rob, I feel Haaland will be a great addition and I'm surprised he's not on this site yet. He's listed as 194cm.
David Donatus said on 5/Mar/21

Hey rob, One question: why and how are footballers listed more than they are? Is it possible that in the measure they stop the stadiometer on high hair?

179 seems accurate for Richarlison

Interesting picture. Zouma and abraham are both listed at 6'3 despite zouma looking closer to 5'9 reece james and 5'10 mason mount. Reece and James look very similar in height. less than half an inch
Lula said on 24/Feb/21
Hi Rob, hoelw tall is adama traore? He listed 178. Could be 175?
Editor Rob
5ft 10 seems too high, 5ft 9 might be a better chance.
Axel Lextor said on 10/Feb/21
Hi big Rob, how tall do you think Richarlison is, the everton soccer player? Recently in google and everywhere they list it as 184 cm but before it was at 179 cm. he really looks pretty tall but not like 184 ...
Editor Rob
184 can seem too high, but taller than 179 I'd have said.
Axel Lextor said on 6/Feb/21
Hello big Rob you plan to make a youtube video like liverpool and manchester united with the other big 4 of england. It would be fantastic since it would be very difficult to do it with all the teams but at least to have the big six teams of England
Editor Rob
Not sure, but if I was going to I might wait till August and new season with different squads.
Lula said on 3/Feb/21
Hi Rob! How tall is Lautaro Martinez? His listed 174. In this photo is near Ashley young

Editor Rob
could be 5ft 8...Young has a small head.
gogigagagagigo said on 21/Jan/21
How tall is Falcao? He’s listed as 177 cm, but definitely doesn’t look that tall. More like 170-175 cm.
@Mbong 5’9 for Fernandes is a joke. He’s most likely 5’11, 5’10 is probably the lowest. Definitely has a tallish frame.
Editor Rob
I thought Falcao was deceptive - I'd say at least 5ft 9
Mbong said on 18/Jan/21
Would love to see Rob give Bruno Fernandes a page. He's in the 5'9-10 range for sure
David Donatus said on 11/Jan/21

Editor Rob
can look close to 6ft 3 sometimes

Hi Rob, could you add A page of Chelsea midfielder Kai Havertz on popular soccer players? I think he’s 6ft2.75 (189.9cm).
recapa said on 8/Jan/21
aint no way is only 6ft he is 6ft1 if not a little over .he looks like 185-186cm range guy.
Eric W Tam said on 3/Jan/21
Is Van Persie allergic to measuring rods or something? He's literally listed every height in centimeters, rounded to the nearest ones place, which corresponds to 6'0-6'2 in imperial units. What is he really? He used to be 6'2 everywhere now he's 6'0 everywhere, and people here are saying anywhere between 6'1-6'1.5 so I guess I would peg him at 6'1.
David Donatus said on 3/Jan/21
Rob, I've posted so many times on this and none seems to be coming up. It's as if it's only on this page because if I posted on General Height Forum, it would pop up. Have you been paying less attention to this page or do you intend on posting the comments at a specific date?
Editor Rob
I might not have as much time to look at footballer's

Axel Lextor said on 11/Nov/20
Hello big Rob how tall do you think Matty Cash, Aston Villa player? He is listed in 185 and the truth is I believed that because of his body type, but looking at photos next to other people he cannot measure that. fifa gives him 179 which may be the case. How do you think is tall? If he is 179 he is the tallest person of 5'10 that I have seen

I don't think he's a flat 5ft 9
David Donatus said on 21/Oct/20
Rob, I think Rodri looked taller than David Luiz in the City vs Arsenal game and I can't Luiz being shorter than 188cm. What is your estimate for Rodri?
Editor Rob
well 189 might be the lowest he could be
Axel Lextor said on 19/Oct/20
hello big rob how tall do you think timo werner? it is listed as 180 but is seen lower than that in the field. Maybe it's because he has a very long neck and his body is that of a 175 or 178 person. So how long do you think he is?
Editor Rob
5ft 9.5 is kind of impression I got from his days in German football, certainly wouldn't have thought he was 5ft 11!
Sam King said on 15/Oct/20
Grealish , Rob? no chance he's only 5'9 , i'm saying 5'10 at least , more likely 5'11. what do you think ?

F) Something else.

Rob, how tall are Rodrigo and Laporte of Manchester City? They're both listed as 191cm.

Rob, what height do you think Ollie McBurnie is? He is listed at 191 cm tall.

Wouldn't have thought quite that tall...he's got a lanky and thin look to him, though, which helps achieve a taller look on the pitch.
David Donatus said on 27/Aug/20
Rob, how tall do you think Erling Haaland is? He's listed as 194cm
Editor Rob
Around 6ft 4, there was another player at 6ft 5 on his team who looked taller than him.
Johnny 181-182 cm said on 25/Aug/20
I would give Thiago Silva 182 cm and Keylor Navas 184 cm. Navas seemed to edge out Ramos during his Real Madrid days but I don't think the difference was a big inch. The other two players Marquinhos and Paredes I'm not sure. I don't watch the French League that much.
Joe Pavel said on 23/Aug/20
Hey Rob. I am watching the finals at the moment and I feel that PSG is the club with few suspicious height listings. How tall do you think are Navas, Silva, Marquinhos and Paredes? Thank.

@Rob can you do a height comparison video on YouTube on the French world cup winning team, like you did for Liverpool and Manchester United? It would be really nice if you also do such videos for big teams such as Real Madrid, Barca, Juve etc. That way you don´t have to add many players here, people can see your estimate in a short video.
Editor Rob
Yeah I know what you mean. They can take a fair amount of time to do.
Johnny 181-182 cm said on 6/Aug/20
Bernat is also listed 177 cm by PSG. But he looks shorter than Neymar! Sometimes some sports heights doesn´t make sense. I don´t think footballers are measured as often as and as accurate as the NFL players.

2. Fabio Cannavaro - A short CB but he won the Ballon D´or and the FIFA world cup.
3. Carles Puyol - Another shorter than average CB, very famous and a fan favourite for Barca fans.
I request you to look at these guys and add atleast one of them if possible. They are all very big names.

Yeah, given the camera was a bit lower I'd say close to 171cm for Ian in that clip, assuming he had no footwear on.

How tall is wijnaldum? He is listed as 175cm but looks more 172/173 range like mane.

I think Shevchenko is actually 181cm. He looks 2 inches shorter than Maldini and only just edges out Ronaldinho. I'd say 180cm minimum and 182cm at most for him.
Blake said on 9/Jun/20
Rob, do you think that football academies ever look at the bone age of players and try to predict how tall players will be? There are definitely examples of technically good players being like 5 ft 8 at 16 but then by 20 around 6 ft so being small makes it more crucial that they have good technique and awareness to make it against more physically able players and then they grow once that type of skill is ingrained so it could be an advantage at times.
Editor Rob
yeah, I'd be surprised if they didn't look at x-ray's to see how growth plates of 15-17 year old's looked.
I remember at age 15, Celtic let go of Andy Robertson because he was deemed not tall enough...
Valois 2.0 said on 9/Jun/20
Rob, how tall do you think Jadon Sancho is? He's listed as 5'11, but looks shorter.

5ft 10 might be more believable than a big 5ft 11 guy

@Rob
What's your estimation on A. Shevchenko height? He has Always been listed 183cm and honestly looks around it… even if you compare him with guys like Lampard, Drogba, Kaka, Torres and so on..
Editor Rob
Near 6ft seems apt for him.
Blake said on 3/Jun/20
Rob, not a footballer, but a football youtuber. True geordie I think he is 6 ft 2.5. Do you think he is around that less or more?
Editor Rob
He's claimed taller, but 6ft 2.5 could be a greater possibility than 6ft 3-3.5

Rob, here is an interesting quote from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on his growth pattern, I think he is not really exaggerating like others we have seen.
Were there any benefits when I was younger? None at all. I remember on one family holiday to Majorca you had to be either 15 years of age or above 140cm to go on this slide. I was over 15 but they still wouldn’t let me go on the slide! I was tiny at that age. I was a very late developer – I only really started developing when I was 20 or 21. Then I moved from my local team, Clausenengen, to Molde and my career took off.

Rob you listed Mata and DJ as both 5’7 in the Man United video, I always thought James was smaller than that as a united fan watching every match.

Sorry Rob, it’s been a while since I’ve posted so your going to get a flurry of comments. I watched your Liverpool height video a month or two ago and what do you think about Andy Robertson he looked a 174 ish guy to me but you think 5 ft 9 according to that video. He does look quite slumped over sometimes when I see him play so maybe he is 5 ft 9, I’m not 100% convinced though. Also, since you started putting popular celebrities heights in to a YouTube video format for the past year. Do you think it is something that could ever grow beyond your site or just something fun to accompany listings on the site and explain your rational and show your evidence for listing them at whatever height you have selected?
Editor Rob
I thought he generally could be nearer 5ft 9 than 8.5, but like all heights, there's always differing opinions.
Videos are a bit of Heightertainment. I did test out a few different styles of celeb height videos in 2019.
1. Short Mugshot and quote videos from 26 to 45 second range. I like quick tidbits of information in that format. However, Youtube doesn't like them that much, so I decided to put the
Mugshots back into celebheights and removed 80% of those types.
2. Voice over with some media/graphics from 2-4 minute range. These are ok, but I find it harder talking to a microphone! 😵
3. Graphical 'Group' comparisons like the Liverpool one. I like visual clips in that style. They can be more time consuming to create.
4. On screen 'personality' style videos. I know Youtube prefers a screen presence and I'm sure viewers like that too. At 4-5 minutes I feel that's about the right length to kind of touch on the subject with a few doses of sarcasm sprinkled throughout. They do require a bit more thought and time to make though.
I like it as an accompaniment.

So, the UCL "really" started today. Here what I found interesting:
Arthur Melo is really short compared to everybody else in the pitch. 5'7 max for him.
Same goes for Griezmann, but I think Antoine is really 5'8.5 at worst as listed.
Ter Stegen is not much smaller then Pique, it's a 2-3 inch difference between then.
If Arthur looks short, imagine Insigne? Honestly, i could see much over 5'3 for him.
Van Dijk is not that tall as I thought he was. And James Milner is definitely not only 5'9.
That's all for today. Hope I can bring more tomorrow or next week.
Valois 2.0 said on 18/Sep/19

I've barely had time to watch football so far, so I'm not quite up to speed. Lacazette looks near 5ft 9 on the pitch, Aubameyang always seems about 6ft 1 range
Valois 2.0 said on 14/Aug/19
@Johnson There's no footage available, at least I couldn't find it anywhere. Juninho said in another TV show that he jumped on one of those scales with height rods and then he was measured at 1,64 (5'4.5). Funny how he's listed at 5'5.75 everywhere, but the interviewer himself claimed to be around 5'6 and Juninho looked at least an inch shorter, although probably he had some footwear disadvantage.
Blake said on 11/Aug/19
Yh, I said he claimed around 177cm. So he is probably 176.7 or something when he got measured.

Well, I didn't know he used to play for Celtic. People usually remember him for his stints at Boro and Atlético (is actually Atlético de Madrid this time 😁), and for being part of Brazil's 2002 WC Squad.
Fun fact: When he was 20, he was measured at a local TV show at 5'4.5, so either it was a lanky measurement or he had a very late growth spurt. I think he's 5'5 at worst, because he was just under Romario in a lot of pictures.
Editor Rob
An inch at 20 would be a big deal. On the pitch he looked quite small though I wouldn't have thought sub 5ft 5 range

Rob, are you familiar with Juninho from Boro? If yes, how tall do you think he was back in the day?
Editor Rob
Yes, I remember he was seen as a bit of a flop when he came up to Celtic, I'd have thought 5ft 5-6 range.

I met a Moroccan mosque player Mehdi Benatia and I saw clearly that it is shorter than me about two centimeters, so I say that the length does not exceed 1.86 meters, at best 1.865 meters

Dear Rob, what do you think about nick pope height, an english goalkeeper. He listed 6’3 on google but look taller than that and he recently got boosted up to 6’7 in fifa, but i don’t think he that tall.
Editor Rob
He looks taller than Joe Hart, so I think you could safely rule out under 6ft 5...maybe that 6ft 3 listiing was from his earlier 17-18 and it just stuck around and never got updated.

Rob, What is your guess about Florentino Perez (President of Real Madrid) at his peak?

Rob, how tall is Man City’s Phil Foden? He is listed as 1.7 m
Editor Rob
He seems close to that
Valois 2.0 said on 14/Jul/19
What about Bernard, Rob? Is he really 5'4 as listed nowadays or just 5'3.5 like he was back on Atletico?
Editor Rob
The Madrid listing looks fine to me

Hi Rob, how tall is Matthijs De Ligt? He's listed as 1.88/1.89 on most sources but i think he's more in the 1.87 range. Here's a pic for reference (He's n*3)
Click Here
Also for reference:
N* 2 is Hans Hateboer listed as 1.87 (transfermarkt)
N* 1 is Jasper Cillessen listed as 1.85 (wiki, 99% inaccurate as always) and 1.87 on transfermarkt. But to me he looks a little bit shorter than De Ligt and Hateboer maybe 1cm
Anyway to me de ligt looks a strong 1.87 but not 1.89 as claimed. I might be wrong though, would like to hear your opinion
Editor Rob
187 can seem closer to his actual height than 188-189

Rob,can you add marcelo's page on your site please 173
Valois 2.0 said on 8/Jul/19
Hi Rob, I think there's enough evidence to put Dani Alves at 5'7.5: The 5'8/5'7.75 listings from measurements probably done in the morning, him being a inch taller than Messi and a fraction under Neymar, also can't see any difference between him and Coutinho in many pics. 5'7.25 it's the worst I could give him. What do you think?

@Rob and all
Editor Rob
It's hard to see anything clear unfortunately as to what metric figure it was.

@ Rob - How tall is Barry Fry?
Editor Rob
Seemed short like 5ft 7 20-30 years ago, but I haven't really looked at him.
On a different note, and just to put this somewhere before it's forgotten, I remember in a clip I watched with David Busst, that's another footballer who had a big spurt.
He said at age 16 he was 5ft 3 and ended up about 6ft 2.

@Owen Yao,
Thanks for looking into this, too. Yes, given that picture with Harper, I suspect Howard is in between 6'0" and 6'1", which really surprised me given how he was always made out to be this massive guy.
Johnson said on 2/Jul/19
Tim Howard has pictures with
Jason Statham!!!!!!
Valois 2.0 said on 25/Jun/19
Also, any guess for Arsenal's Lucas Torreira? A lot of sources say 5'6 but I've also seen some 5'4-5'5 listings.
Valois 2.0 said on 25/Jun/19
Any thoughts on Brahim Diaz Rob? He's listed as 5'7, but looks at least a inch shorter for me.
Editor Rob
Yeah I can see why he looks 5ft 6, because a lot of time he seems it!
khaled taban said on 21/Jun/19
Hi Rob, choose one guess for Andrea Pirlo :
A) 5'9.25"
B) 5'9.5"
C) 5'9.75"
D) 5'10"
Editor Rob
A-B more than C-D I'd have guessed.
MD said on 17/Jun/19
@Rob, that's what I was thinking. Nothing over 6'1" for Howard. If you could add him, that'd be great. It's weird, because he's always been talked about as some really big guy, but he's just plain tall.
MD said on 16/Jun/19
@Rob,
I see I asked about his height way back in 2015, but I recently found this picture of American goalkeeper Tim Howard with 6'1" Bryce Haprer who you recently added:
Click Here
He's most often listed at 6'3", though I've seen 6'4" listings. It looks possible that he may not even be a full 6'1"? Can we have him added as a seperate page, if only to further display how far overlisted someone can be in sports?
Editor Rob
6ft 3 is at least 2 inches too much. Whether he is only 6ft 1/2 inch or not I'm not sure, but I wouldn't give him over 6ft 1.
