hostile_statue 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Most sources claim 6'00 (that says fuck all to me, but it's around 183 cm I'm told). But if you look at this classic "Keane vs Shearer" video clip it looks like the Irish twat is about Shearer's height. And Keane is rather short, without a shadow of a doubt. 5'10 according to most sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Toon 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Two inches is very little when you're looking at two people from that distance. However, we can't rule out your theory of a conspiracy just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 183cm according to Wikipedia or 180 if you believe footballdatabase.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM4 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's always been around 180 as far as I've heard of. People always seem to say they are surprised at how short he seems in real life, given how many headers he used to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always seem to say they are surprised at how short he seems in real life, given how many headers he used to win. 180 seems about right. And yes, it's impressive how he was totally dominant in the air, not being very tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Operator 10 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 He's 5' 11" I played in a charity golf tournament recently that he was involved in and was just about 1/2 an inch taller than him. Beat him on the longest drive competition on the last hole as well by about 10 feet. Ant n Dec are playing in the next one in a couple of weeks, even Wacky would give them a run for their money in the height stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Ferdinand isnt even 6 foot. Best headererererer of a ball i've ever seen though. From what I've seen, best headers around aren't much more than 6 feet. Maybe wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31596 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 5 feet 11 inches... Aye that would be about right. I'd say he was about an inch shorter than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All footballers are tiny, you don't have to actually be very tall to look tall comparatively. Gazza is only 2'3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostile_statue 0 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 I guess the main reason why I asked this question is the official site always claimed his height is 6'00. And then I imagined someone stormed into the locker room with a folding rule and measured everyone on the spot. But I guess Big Al stood on his tiptoes when this happened...
