Rob any guesses for Peter Schmeicel? I think he looks close to his 6'4" listing don't you think?

David Seaman was listed at 6'4" a lot I think but he is more 6'3" I think. Schmeicel to me actually looks a legit 6'4", big dane.

Iniesta is a strong 5'7, while Xavi is a solid 5'6 (this is his official listing in his early career)
Messi is something between 168cm - 169.5cm. He is at least 3 inches taller than Maradona

Is Gary Pallister 6'4"? Missed that one and I was a huge Manu fan as a teenager in the 90s. Cantona was always listed at 6'2" in the old Carling sticker albums I think.

Never forget his humility. It always cut some height through posture. I don't understand why to spend time discussing heights taken time over time in medical exams.

look how tall Pele looks next to the other players and he is listed as 5ft6.5 here..Pele doesn't look much shorter than Rooney...Click Here
looking at that picture, it seems Messi is also slightly taller than Dani Alves. I don't know why Dani Alves gets listed 171-173 almost everywhere when he seems to be around 167-169 range....

Agreed. Maradona might even be 5'3.5 today. He's not been in the best health, but I can't imagine a 51 year old has lost too much height. He definitely needs to be knocked down from his 5'5 peak listing.

I say Messi is a strong 5ft 5
Nah - That would put Maradona under 5'3. He's short, but not that short.

I think this listing is spot on, Maradona 5'4. Agree with Leonari I doubt he was ever a full 5'5.
Rooney's 'Official' height is 5'10, but I think he's rounding up. I'd put him at 5'9. Again Maradona looks 5'4 here - He's only 51 so doubt he'd have lost a full inch in height since his playing days

The three best footballers of all time are all below average. Maradonna: Peak height 5'5" (and possibly a fraction under if you ask me), Pele: 5'8" official height could be a bit smaller as well. Messi: 5'6.5

That's because Xavi is actually around 168. 169 for Messi is correct.

I think he generally looks 5'6" but then he sometimes appears taller than a 5'7" listed Xavi

He's a strange one. Sometimes he can look this height and then he can look an inch shorter.

This listing sounds fair...5'6" at worst.
