Met him tonight and 5 foot 8.5 seems about right to Me, he is taller than I thought. I'm 5 foot 9 and I got a picture with him if I could figure out how to upload it

He's on Eurosport now summarising the snooker with Neil Robertson- Robertson is young enough not to have lost any height, is skinny and therefore may look taller than he is and may have some sort of boots on but he is absolutely towering over White. The Australian who also has 'big hair' for a man is said to be 6ft and next to him White looks no more than 5ft 7- quite possibly smaller.

John Virgo doesn't look close to 6' anymore on the 40th anniversary ceremony at the crucible. He's also shaking. Seems like he has Parkinson's or something.

He's on the box right now standing beside o sullivan and it looks like about a 3 inch difference. Robs met Ronnie so his estimate of 5'10 should be very close. White is at most 5'8.

2 inches I mean...
Could he be 5'8 flat?

Editor Rob Roger, he certainly could have lost a half inch or so now.

Has he lost height? He looks like he could be a full 3 inches below 5'10 Ronnie O'Sullivan.

alex Higgins must have been 5'9 when he was young because he looked about 1 inch taller than jimmy white unless jimmy white was 5'7 which would have made alex Higgins 5'8.

Rob do you know how tall Dennis taylor is?
Jimmy White always looks a bit taller than him, but on commentary a few months ago Dennis claimed to be 5 foot 10!?
I know he's not that tall, me and my dad met him at the crucible theatre last year, I'm 5,11 or around 6 foot in shoes, my dad is maybe just under 5 foot 10 and we were both much bigger than him, and Dennis was wearing heeled dress shoes.

Editor Rob he was right Here beside me...granted he was late 50's so it's possible he was taller 25 years before I saw him. But 5ft 10 seems impossible really!

Editor Rob in person they can look similar range, but then I do think John probably has the looser posture, he really could look 6ft up close, but maybe he can stretch taller when measured.

Rob, Just curious how Tall would you guess Judd Trump at I think you might have said 5ft10 or 11 before, cant remember, I know some people think he could look like a 5'9- 5'10 guy but that seems much too low, He Looks quite tall to me, I would have guessed close to 6'0?

Editor Rob 5ft 9-10 range seems too low, but 5ft 10-11 range is more possible
blink said on 9/Sep/14
I agree I actually thought trump was 5'9 but I agree he's in the 5'11 range, not as tall as Selby who's a solid 6, probably 6.025.

Judd Trump at 5'9 or 5'10 is a joke, He is clearly above 175- 178cm range, He is more like 182cm imo

we know for a fact that Mark Selby is 6. Ronnie is listed on many sites as 5'11, Judd Trump looks like 5'10~ even though I've seen him listed as 5'9 many times.

I think this listing is about right. There are some photos of him at the Everton training ground with 1.70m Leighton Baines and 1.73 Leon Osman and he looks around the same height. I've also seen him in person and he looked around 5ft 8

At many websites Ronnie O'Sullivans height is stated as 5'11 ,respectively 180 cm. I would say,this is about right but of course 5'10 could also be right. I would also say that Parrott and Davis are very level. Parrott hasnt a good posture and his and Davis shoulders are always at the same level. I would say,both are 185-186 cm. Selby must be 6' flat,not more. He is thin which makes him look taller than he really is.

Saw Jimmy a couple of months ago, was stood by him for a good 30 minutes whilst working at the local theatre for an exhibition show with some of the old stars.....I think 5'8.5 is a little too short for Jimmy, atleast 5'9" i would say, spoke to him for a bit, and he was a good 2 and a half inches taller than Dennis Taylor. Saw Parrot too, he's just over 6'1" i would say, and Cliff Thorburn was a solid 6ft. A definite upgrade needed for Jimmy!

If Davis is 187cm like Rob thinks, I'd estimate Parrott at 185-186cm as he always looks at bit shorter than Davis:

O'Sullivan seems to be around the same height as Hendry:

I'd guess both O'Sullivan and Hendry at 5'9.5"/177cm. And Doherty looks around 6cm shorter than Hendry:

I'd say Doherty is 171cm. I could buy 6'0" flat for Selby:

I think 6'0" is too low for Parrott though, he's probably around 6'1" which puts O'Sullivan in the 5'9" range.

from my personal experience
higgins and allen are same height as me (5'9.3'') (maybe +/-0.5'', never mind), williams is about 4.5'' higher than me and he has a very bad posture. so for him looks like 6'.2'-6'.3''

I watched some snookermatches in the last couple of months. I think Selby and Williams are both 6',they were at same height at the german masters in february. Ronnie is a little bit below them,I think something between 5'10'' and 5'11''.I think, Ryan Day is also a sixfooter because he seemed to be around 2 inches longer than Ronnie.

You are are wrong about so many things. Yes. Ricky Walden is 6'4. That's the only thing you've got right.
Mark Selby is no more than 6ft 1/2.
Ken Doherty is about 5'9. Certainly no shorter than 5'8.
Jimmy White is not 5'7. He's about 5'9.
Stephen Hendry looks exactly the same height as Mark Selby to me so I'd have him at about 6ft.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is clearly about an inch shorter than Stephen Hendry so that would put him at about 5'11.

Ricky Walden is 6'4 with a noticeable slouch. Dennis taylor remarked Mark Selby being very tall at 6'3"- we can't rely on him then.

jon (19/Jan/09), what are you on? Every height for the players you've mentioned is wrong.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is at least 5'10 and I think he is closer to 5'11.
Jimmy White is at least 5'8 but I don't think he's anymore than 5'9.5.
Mark Selby is not 6'2. He's listed as 6' on the BBC Snooker profile of him. His thin build makes him appear to be taller.
Quintenn Hann I'm pretty sure is at least 6'4. He seemed at least 5 inches taller than Ronnie when he stood next to him in an interview once.
Ali Carter is not 5'6. According to his BBC snooker profile he is 5'9 although my guess is that they have rounded that up. He's probably close to 5'8.5
Mark Williams is definitely taller than 6'1. He's between 6'2-6'3.
Ken Doherty 5'5!? Ha! Betwen 5'8-5'9.
Steve Davis is probably closer to 6'2 than 6'1 and Stephen Hendry who looks exactly the same height as Mark Selby must therefore be 6ft.

Jimmy white nowadays is barely 5'7", he wears a hair piece and probably wears lifts. Ronnie is barely 5'9"- 4 inches shorter than 6'1" Steve Davis. Stephen Hendry 5'11". Ronnie once mentioned his height as 5'10" when interviewed by Eammon Holmes and Holmes was skeptical of that. One of tallest players was Quinten Hann at 6'3", he was also a model, little know player Scott Mckenzie is 6'5" and Mark Selby 6'2". Mark Williams about 6'1" and Ken Doherty one of the shortest at 5'5". Ali Carter is 5'6" tops but claims 5'9".

thanks for that picture but i have seen a photograph on yahoo images where hendry and o sullivan are standing next to each other and hendry looked a full 2 inches taller than o sullivan. you can find it if you go to yahoo images and if you type in stephen hendry and ronnie o sullivan its only a small photograph but it shows a clear difference in height.

At the back of his autograph picture, they say: Height: 5ft 11ins
Therefore Hendry is 5ft 11.5 max! and probably 5ft 11

drexyl he is taller than stephen hendry maybe i over did it a bit but i would still say 6'2'' or 6'3''. because if you watch jimmy white playing stephen hendry in the 1994 world final you can hear a commentator saying quite a tall lad young stephen well over 6 feet. if i was guessing though i wouldn t say well over 6' for hendry i would guess he is 6' or 6'1'' and yeah 6'2'' or 6'3'' for mark williams trust me he is defenitely taller then hendry by at least a full 2 inches and he towers over ronnie o sullivan and john higgins.

OK Rob he could be 5ft 9, if Ronnie is 5ft 11 I think 13 stone is as wide as his height claim, more like 14

I think the tallest players around are still Steve Davis and John Parrott. Both look to be at least 6,2". I thought Ryan Day was a taller bloke but when he stood next to Parrott tonight he actually looked a touch shorter.

Yes Nelson Heights I agree. Actually I think Ronnie O'Sullivan is closer to 5'11 than 5'10. Jimmy is no taller than 5'8.5 to me. Jimmy could be 5'11 in his stilletos.

I know for a fact that Steve Davis is 6ft2 because Ken Doherty once said he was.
I think Hendry is 6ft1 because he looked a inch shorter than Davis when they stood together.

No way are Ronnie O'Sullivan and Stephen Hendry over 6ft. Mark Selby according to the BBC profile of him have him as exactly 6ft tall. When O'Sullivan played Selby and they stood next to each other a few times Selby looked 1 inch taller than O'Sullivan and I have read somewhere that O'Sullivan is 5'11. When Selby played Hendry very recently Hendry looked possibly slightly shorter (like a quarter of an inch) than Selby.

I actually met Jimmy White in 1999, when he was qualifying for the World Championships in Telford. I was with my dad, walking towards the foyet of the building, and we saw Jimmy walking towards us. My dad said good luck to him, and Jimmy replied, thank you very much. Jimmy seemed a genuine guy, that didn't surprise us though, what did surprise us both was that Jimmy was atleast 5'10.5". We always thought he was around 5'8", like 6'&18, but to actually see him in the flesh made us realise that he is much taller in real than when he is on tv. We also met a lot of other players over the years at the same venue, Willie Thorne was atleast 6'3", Dennis Taylor is around 5'8", Tony Drago was shorter than I imagined at 6', Ronnie O Sullivan was 5'10, Mark Williams looked 6'2", Clive Everton the commentator was huge, about 6'4", and so was John Virgo, atleast 6'3", and Steve Davis looked about 6'2.5", unfortunately I didn't see Hendry, as I always wondered how tall he is, sometimes he can look 6'1+ and sometimes 5'11, however, when stood next to guys like Steve Davis and John Parrot he looks 6ft, or maybe a smidgen over.

To the Hendry; I always felt Hendry was tall, he always gave me that impression. I felt 6' 2" for Hendry, seriously...I know he has a good build and great posture for tallness but he really seemed a tall man and a fair 6' 2". Ahhh well. But 6' 1" for Hendry surely isn't taller than imagined, given his height, build and posture?!

Editor Rob I never pictured Hendry as over 6ft...so 6ft 1.5 is taller than I had imagined him...

Crazy, I always thought he was quite short. Like, 5' 7" - 5' 8". Guess I never payed particular attention, but always felt from a visual impression he was pretty short. Mmmm.

Editor Rob no, I too thought this guy was 5ft 8...although he might be 179 and just rounding up...
if he's 179 then Steven Hendry must be 6ft 1+, taller than imagined...
