Welsh former professional footballer, turned pundit who played for Newcastle, Blackburn, Liverpool, Man City, West Ham & Cardiff. He once wrote in his biography
"I am 5ft 6in or 5ft 7in tall but I am telling you this: when I put that kit on and I was standing in that tunnel with Bobby Robson, I felt like I was Didier Drogba"

Rob, if he admits to being between 5’ 6” and 5’ 7”, why do they list him as 5’ 9” online? I don’t understand that.
Editor Rob
some listings are out of date or made up.

The last claimed of Big G is 5'7.5" and 5'8" out of bed, so he think 5'7.25" is his low, that is a speed progression. When you will can, Do you make a meet with him in a future?
Editor Rob
I think it's unlikely, though I say there's always time for somebody to come to accept their height.

@Rob
Can Big G returns to Celeb? Maybe he is more realist now
Editor Rob
imagine Big G being as honest as Craig Bellamy, saying 5ft 6.5...it sounds impossible, but then sometimes people change.

Hi Big Rob, do you think Bellamy will die in the hands of Big G?
Editor Rob
Big G has more to worry about, such as the Blue DEVIL Pig of Nicaragua...or the Satanic Hounds of Bronx Zoo -

@EM Exactly. I'd say South Euro 5'8.5", UK/US whites 5'9.5"-5'10", Scandinavians/Baltics 5'10.5"-5'11".

Per reported averages, Brits are similar to Americans in height it would seem. Southern Europeans being a little shorter, northern Europeans and some countries in the baltic region a little taller.

@Radd
Not true, southern Europeans (like Spanish, Portuguese and Italians) are on average a bit shorter than Brits. Northern Europeans and Yugoslavians are taller than them though.

Usually listed 5ft9. Looked more like 5ft7-5ft8 on the field. Never as low as 5ft6.

I have met so many brits who are exactly that height. British People are very short compared to most other europeans.
