Rob, not sure if you watch much darts, but Wayne Mardle often loves to comment on height, and he seems to overestimate a lot of his peers. He said that Ross Smith is 6'5'' but he looks nowhere near that when walking up to the board. The oche is a good few inches and I can't see how he is 6'5''.

Hi Rob, How Tall would you guess Stephen Bunting ?
I saw a pic of him with Mark Selby and he looked taller so I think he's over 6ft range...

Thanks for the response, Rob. I reckon Priestley in his prime might have been about 184cm. I seen a photo of him where Bristow makes him look about 5'11'', if that, but couldn't see footing etc. As for van Gerwen, he can't be as low as 5'10'' and I think even 5'11'' is low. He could be 6', I reckon. He's taller than quite a lot of players, doesn't give off a 5'11'' flat vibe. Would be interested in a page for him, would surely get a lot of hits considering his popularity.

Bobby has a stoop and walks with a cane as of 2020. He looks 5ft10 in 2020. 6ft1 peak is believeable.

What about current world darts champion rob cross wonder his height, like Mvg he is bald and looks a bit shorter than him I think he looks near 5ft11 but not sure, I think Michael Van Gerwen looks 5ft11 maybe a bit more, Rob would you consider adding Van Gerwen to the site, currently the best darts player in the world would be good see a few darts stars on here though not sure how tall most are tbh

Booby George was 6'1.25, 15 stone at his peak in the 70's and early 80's. A big guy and bodybuilder. A chip off the block of Schwarzenegger. Eric Bristow was 6'3 peak and probably close to it today. Mensur Suljovic looks 6'2, a big guy.
I think 5'8.5 is probably Peter Wrights height, not the 5'9 I originally had. G.Anderson is def. a 5ft9.3 / 176cm kinda guy. Phil Taylor 5'7 (5'7.5 peak). van Gerwen 5'11.25 / 181cm. All of them together: Click Here

I'm not sure how tall he would be today, but in the early 90s Eric Bristow was about 6'2 1/2". I played him in an exhibition, and I was slightly taller than him. I was 6'3" at the time.

Saw Eric Bristow last week on the ferry to Dublin (heading to a big Darts tournament at o2). He is a solid 6 feet 4 inches. Very big guy.

I seen Adrian Lewis and Scott Mitchell the other night both are massive guys, probably 6'3 or 6'4, Met Adrian a few times great guys, never paid too much attention but he is over 6 ft by some margin imo.
Rob, Did you see anything of Lewis and Mitchell?, Mitchell also was a bdo world champion and Lewis a 2x pdc world champion

Rob, Do you watch much darts? What do you think about the 3 time world champion John Part?, he was similar height to bobby george who you have at 6'1 peak, Have seen Part listed as 6'0 but he can look more 6'1, He looks a bit taller than Wayne Mardle when working on sky not sure if Mardle claimed 6'0 or 6'1 before.

Vibram, Nicholson claimed 5'9 on his Twitter when asked, Agree with most your estimates, Always wondered about Gary Anderson would have said 5'9.5 somewhere between 5'9 and 5'10 not too sure, Wade is 5'11, Thornton is 5'6 going off his old wesbite, Van Gerwen looks 5'11 range, Adrian Lewis said in Twitter he was 6'3 before I would have guessed him around 6'2 but he is such a big guy his weight could make him look shorter.
Taylor looks no more than 5'7 he could have been close to 5'8 peak tho.

Some of the Darts players heights are listed are on Unicorn site, They dont list Taylor i have heard 5'7 for Phil, Mvg would have said 5'11, James wade is listed as 5'11, Barneveld is down on there as 1.89m so 6'2.5?, Joe cullen 6'2, Mark Webster 6'2, Mervyn King old website had him as 5'9, Paul Nicholson 5'9 and Steve Beaton is 6'3 on his official website.
Not sure myself on Gary Anderson, I think he could be a weak 5'10? around 5'9.5- 10 range

I think Rob's estimate on Michael Van Gerwen could be correct he was wth Carl Froch last night at the premier league darts in Nottingham, They have pictures together and Carl looks a good 1/1.5 inches taller, Mvg bald but looks 5'10-5'11 range I think, I think he might be 5'10.5 or a weak 5'11 though he has quite a big build too.

What are your thoughts on Russian women darts Player Anastasia Dobromyslova, she is listed 5ft8, could be right, have seen her at all Rob?
I agree on Taylor possibly 5ft7 for him, Lewis is hard to peg he can look 6'1- 6'3 range his posture can be off as he is a big guy, Wade is 5ft11 he is the only player I have met in person a few times in similar shoes to me and we were very close and I measure 180cm range so I think he is the 5'11.

Tallest Darts Player I have seen is Vincent Van Der voort think he is 6'6 and Roland Scholten was at least 6'4.
