He was always clearly taller than Beckham,so I think a decent 182 guy..I'd see this 5ft11.5 listing more as his low height, with 5ft11.75 pretty feasible at midday.

When you see this guy with other players he looks like a big chap (not short or tall) but looks like he was born to be a rugby player not football, massive shoulders on the man, tbh he looks stacked, do you guys think he would be closer to 5ft 11 or 6ft?

Casemiro looks to be around this height. Or maybe 181cm. Even though he is listed at 1.85m by most sites, he is not that tall he even Tip-Toes in many team photos in order to look taller, and also looks obviously shorter than his teammates who are strong 6 footers like Benzema and Bale. Even Ramos who's 5'11 3/4 or 6 feet tall, is taller than Casemiro or has the slight edge on him.

ronaldo easily the most breathtaking footballer when in full flow. I remember him breaking the transfer record at 19 then breaking it again at 20 when he went to inter,still the youngest player to win a balon dor at 20. Good height for a forward and was strong as an ox when teams where putting 3-4 players on him a game. Gave nesta the absolute run around in the uefa cup final 98 then one the golden ball at the WC that year.My favourite ever player, to bad his knees didnt like him or else he would be the greatest of all time. Crazy to think he ruptured the same patella twice then came back out of the wilderness and was top scorer and a world cup winner in 2002. They dont make them like that no more boy. Elasticos,drag backs, double dragbacks, body feints, the infamous ronaldo stepovers which put defenders in a trance and the buckets of goals. Thank you ronnie for making my childhood

I think he's a stronger 1,82, like 5'11.75. Could have been the best of all time, if wasn't for his knee injuries. He said he had hypothyroidism on his retirement press, maybe that's why he was overweight in the last 10 years of his career.

@Tunman
Ronaldo played at around 190lbs during the 2002 World Cup. That's on record. He was injured before the World Cup, so his weight was probably somewhat elevated. His listed weight with the Federation of Football Association was 82kg (181lbs) at the time, which was probably his ideal playing weight - light enough to endure the cardiovascular requirements of soccer but strong and powerful enough to be a force to be reckoned with.
If I recall correctly, Ronaldo had numerous injury problems throughout his career. I think that's directly linked to his weight management issues. I mean, when he joined the training camp for Brazil's national team in preparation for the 2006 World Cup, he weighed 209lbs. That's way too heavy for an elite 5'11½ soccer player.
I think it's speaks to the level of talent Ronaldo possessed that he was able to play overweight as he did. He is certainly one of my favorite players of all time.

@Animus
192Lbs could seem too much indeed but at that time it was mainly muscle and the dude was still training seriously.I think some may have a powerful built more easily than others,if you compare him to say Peter Crouch who's 8" taller and only 165Lbs.
I mean both are pro athletes who certainly constantly check their weight (at least in the successful part of their career)and wouldn't allow themselves to gain/lose too much weight
The same could be said about Serena Williams who's 5'9 and easily around 190Lbs when playing.On the opposite side you have Caroline Wozniacki who at the same height claims to be usually 140Lbs.

@alana If I'm not mistaken, Rob list celebrities at their lowest (evening), not their peak (morning). Maybe not the absolute lowest, but Rob gives an estimation near the lowest.
You are right that most people is measured in the morning by doctors. But you can also be measured in the evening at home!!

Rob, a question for you please. Do you list their heights at night or in the middle of the day? because it will normally be to list their heights that they have the middle of the day. Height measurments are taken generally in the middle of the day and people are the most active too. Also that will give you a nice average height that you are living with over the day not just when you wake up or get to sleep.
Thank you

Editor Rob the difference between 2pm and 10pm on average is small, like a couple of mm's, so giving a height at that time is reasonable. I'm thinking of height after being up 5-6 hours at least.

Editor Rob this guy can be tricky, hence why I had to have a longer look. I'm interested in what the user average guess for him would be.
Comparing with Jackman is always tricky as that guy can seem 6ft 1 at times ;)
