Editor Rob
yes he can look 6ft 1 there...funnily, if you check gerard page on here I added what Steven claimed to the top, he said he was 'almost 6ft 2', so I guess by that Fernando could claim 6ft 3!!!

Hey rob, I don't know if youre sure about him but do you have an idea on the height of Nicklas Bendtner? I've seen him listed every cm between 190 and 195. He does look very tall.

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.

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?

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".

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.

@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...

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.

there is still potential to add big players, it is a question of who.

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.

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.

I actually think he would be between 184 and 185cm if measured around midday, 4 hours after waking up.

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.

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.

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).

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)

@Rob, I ve found on Diego Godin Instagram page these 2 very interesting photo: the first with Rafa Nadal, the second with Fernando Torres.
With Godin Nadal seems a little taller than Torres (we don t see footwear).
Editor Rob
with Torres there looks more of a tilt in the camera than with Nadal, which might account for a cm or so if it wasn't tilted.

@Rob, look what I found on the web. Torres next to Will Smith who is listed by you 187cm. I personally think 187cm for Smith is a bit too much since he appeared also shorter than this with 184cm Rafa Nadal.
What do you think about the height difference between Torres and Smith? Even if we can t see their footwear...
Editor Rob
Smith might have 2-3mm of hair and Torres about 2cm of hair, he can look about that much less than will

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 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.

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.

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)
Tevez 165-167(5'8? you should see him next to Rooney)

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
Nightwish said on 10/Feb/16
I've always had Pirlo at around 5'9.

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.

@a One thing is sure 100% Lampard and Gerrard are taller than Beckham. And 90% sure is that Lampard is a fraction or a cm taller than Gerrard.
Midday heights:
Beckham 181
Gerrard 182,5/183
Lampard 183,5/184
Lampard and Gerrard can claim To be around 6ft anyway, Beckham can t.

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

Even being charitable and trying to explain it away with angles and possible footwear difference, you're right. He is nowhere near 5'11".

Lallana is a strong 5ft8 = 173-174cm. He is just a hair shorter than Wayne Rooney who is 5ft9 = 175cm.

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.

@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.

@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.

How tall is Ter Stegen? Any guess? 189cm CANNOT be right.
HeightMan said on 5/Dec/15
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.
