He doesn't look 6'2", can pull off 6'1" yes, I could buy 184cm for him but that's it.

Rob this makes no sense, benzema is listed 184cm and bale is taller than him by at least 2cm, and when standing next to 186cm cr7, he looks 2cm shorter, i'd say benzema is really is 182cm and bale is 184cm, he always looks above 6ft
So 1 cm more/less is what that makes no sense to you? Its barely noticeable. Bale can be both 183-184 cm but you're kinda hysteric lol

"Gareth Bale's height is 6ft 0.5in (184cm)"
Can look 6ft2

@chrisss: Benzema is 181cm (I've even seen him listed at a ridiculous 187cm!), just barely taller than 180cm Casillas (who somehow is listed at 185cm but is at least an inch shorter than 183cm Valdes). Then it makes sense; Bale is about 2 cm taller than Benzema and about 2cm shorter than 185cm CR. 6' for Bale is spot on, though I agree that sometimes he can give the illusion of being taller.

Click Here and about ramsey being 181 cm. click the link and you'll see he isn't. wenger is a tall guy. 6'2'' for sure. some even say he might be 6'4''. a lot of players state their youth heights from when they were 16-18 and rising stars.
johnny said on 7/Oct/13
I think the 186 cm some sites give him are accurate.
Arch Stanton said on 6/Oct/13
@Anon, yes of course he isn't 6'2"-6'3" but he does give the illusion of it in this photograph in my opinion. It's the long skinny limbs and long face I think which give this illusion.

Funny you say that Tim because he gives a 6'2.5"-6'3" impression in this photo IMO for some reason. His legs here look comparable to Rob's 189 challenger.
Tim said on 29/Sep/13
Looking at him I think I am a little taller than him and I am 1.84 m
wenger said on 29/Sep/13
check him out next to fellow welshman aaron ramsey (181cm) they look the same height
183 for Bale is maximum
johnny said on 27/Sep/13
My cousin who is 6'0'' has a fan picture with him and Bale had nearly 2 inches on him. 6'1.5'' I'd say. I think he's like Van Persie. Gets also listed as 6'0'' but is actually 6'2''.
eddyw78 said on 27/Sep/13
Good inch shorter than Ronaldo who is a strong 6ft 1in. Yeah I would go for 6 foot.
jordydecke said on 27/Sep/13
as for spurs having him as 5'11, I'm that height and in every photo or video I've seen he looks as if he'd have an inch and half on me easily.
jordydecke said on 27/Sep/13
Van Persie (horrible man with no loyalty) is a legit 6'1 I saw him several years ago at a signing event. I think Bale claims 6'1 but I think his slim build makes him look taller, 6'0 is a good estimate. I remember reading that Tony Adams went to scout him for Arsenal years and years ago and said that he was a tiny little fella, so clearly he must have grown a lot. Can't find the exact article where it says this.
Joe joe said on 26/Sep/13
he's on the madrid website at 1m83cm. they do barefoot lazer measurments so it's safe to say thats accurate.
The Exorcist said on 25/Sep/13
I think he's one of the tallest looking six-footers I've ever seen.
@Louis: yeah, I think Modric would be in 5'6.5 - 5'7" range.
cole said on 24/Sep/13
Good to see him get a page. I wouldn't go over 183 cm for Bale, so personally I think this listing is good. And about Van Persie: he's got to be a little taller than 6'1 flat. 186-187 cm range I think is a good shout for him, wouldn't you say Rob?
afka said on 24/Sep/13
6 ft.maybe a litle over
Petrolhead said on 24/Sep/13
Rob he was billed as 5ft 11in before he moved to Madrid. On the Spurs official site.

Support your local club, I'm sure they need it much more than Arsenal.
Late 187cm said on 20/Sep/13
I thought he might have been pushing 6'1(185/186cm). But using Ronaldo as a 6'1 benchmark I think 183cm is pretty accurate. I don't think he's any lower.
Dean 5ft 9.25 said on 19/Sep/13
Always seems tall to me. Proof that 183cm with the right build is definetly fairly tall.
Balrog said on 18/Sep/13
I guess him at 183-184. Don't see much of him but at first he does looks like a solid 6footer.
kaplaaa said on 18/Sep/13
Solid 6ft maybe 6"0.25 but he holds excellent posture which can give off a 6"1 vibe.
miko said on 18/Sep/13
He's 183/184 range definitely.
His build gives a tall illusion as well, like Ronaldo's does.
Ryan said on 18/Sep/13
Some sources have him as much as 186cm which is far too high. He's a tall man but not quite that tall. 183cm is much more accurate.
Louis said on 18/Sep/13
Rob, what's your guess for Luka Modrić? 5'7?

pataan19 said on 17/Sep/13
Hmmm not so sure about this listing Rob. 185 Cristiano ronaldo had a good 4-5 cms on him in the photo recently posted of the two shaking hands. What do you think Rob, maybe 181 for him might be a better shout!
Arch Stanton said on 17/Sep/13
Good choice of article, sure to get traffic. Yeah, I think he looks a fair 6 ft. Seems a nice lad to boot. There's something a bit animation like about him facially though, he seems to have an unusually long jaw.
Raj said on 17/Sep/13
Never looked 6' - always looked 6'0.5"+. In training with madrid you could see when Bale and Ronaldo wore the same shoes, the height difference was negligible.
Bran said on 17/Sep/13
Rob what a legend for putting him on, did you find this decision easy or did you spend a lot of time thinking about it ?
Editor Rob
I think it's a safe bet he's around this mark
