Rewatching his documentary on Amazon prime, and recent photo's with Kevin Keegan, Diego really did look to be a 5'5 range guy during his playing days.
Pics in his last decade of life suggested 5'3 range as in this pic with a 173 measured Sergio Aguero taken in 2011. Click Here
Not sure why he appears to have lost so much height by his 50's. Looks close to 2 inches.

Editor RobWould put him a fraction over 5ft 3 there

I had him as 5'4.5", but that is very low I think, probably an inch below what he was in his peak, 5'5.5" or 166 cms. Anyway his height dropped to much with too much weight, injuries etc and he was not more than 5'4.25" in his death, probably even as low as 5'3.5".

Diego could well have been 166/167 he has claimed in his playing days.

In his youth, Diego wore tricky hair, "afro style"...so he could look 1.68 but his peak height was 165,5. During his last decade of life (50s-60) his height was 1.61 cause of knee problems and overweight. RIP.

I know at times he could look sub-5’4 towards the end of his life, but is it possible it was just due to poor posture at times?
Not sure this height difference is just down to posture Click Here
Diego looks a solid 6 inches shorter than Mourinho there.
I do think Diego was minimum 165 in his prime

He manages to look 5'5 range with Mourinho in this picture I think: Click Here
^^ I see a strong 4-inch difference there.
And for the sake of comparison, here's Tarantino with a not quite six inches shorter Christoph Waltz, and the height difference actually looks bigger than between Maradona and Mourinho at the photo-op with Usain Bolt: Click Here

If you see pictures of him with Pèle before either of them would have lost much height he can even look close to 5’6, depending on the angle. There’s no way he was a 5’4 flat or below guy at his peak. I honestly think he just had terrible posture when he was older. Castro even has a clear footwear advantage in the picture just below.

Well, 5ft 5.75 is impossible for Maradona barefoot, especially after a soccer game. Although maybe around 5ft 5 is not rule out. Here are two photos of Maradona with Fidel Castro from 1987: Click Here Click Here
At the time, Castro was 61 and Maradona was only 27. Rob, how do you rate the height differences between them? Do you think Castro might have lost some height then?

Rob, look at him with Del Piero (who I believe is pretty much as tall as you) when he was near 54: Click Here
Do you think he had already lost over an inch by then (considering that he struggles to look much over 5'3)? Given his lifestyle, it's not too hard to believe he shrunk more than average, but that would still be a remarkable loss (assuming he was 5'4.5 at peak)...

Well, Arch, in Naples it is probably not much different than in Argentina... people truly consider him a God there!
I've never been a huge fan of soccer, but my father is and always said that Maradona was probably the best player of all time. Too bad for his vices!

Just watching a 100 minute tribute to him on Chilean TV in Spanish (I can understand about 90% now) and in Chile it's like an extension of Argentina. Extremely rare to see so much adoration of one man, literally like he was the second coming. Grown men crying! Greats saying he's the best of alltime. Watching his goals reignites the great passion I had as a player at 12 or 13, some of those screamers he scored, Phenomenally talented, one in a billion talent, I don't think any one player has generated as much excitement as Maradona, that 2nd goal at the 86 world cup arguably the greatest goal of all time, amazing!! Like a lot of geniuses he had severe problems with drugs and alcohol.

So sorry to hear that Diego has passed on at just turned 60. He leaves behind five 'known' children.
Let's wish them and all who knew and loved him every comfort at this terribly sad time.
5ft4.5. The poor guy never grew old enough to lose any appreciable amount of height.

RIP indeed. 60 given his lifestyle was an achievement, must have snorted half of Peru, he was like a character from the Bond film License to Kill, could have been an associate of Sanchez's! Looked shorter than this in his latter years, more like 5 ft 3 and change at times.

The greatest of all time without a doubt. I watched him for many years, and i think Diego is around 164 cm, so 5'4 1/2 seems quite on point.

He is 5'3 at most. I am 5'4 and I was taller than him when stood beside him in Sep. 1996 at Birchmount stadium in Toronto. Great player.
I agree he doesn't lok more than 5'3 with Mourinho - but I think he could have measured close to his claim 166/167 in his playing days. I disagree with Rob, I think he has lost 1-2 inches.

@ Sandy Cowell - There is nowt wrong with being short in height, it did Maradonna no harm and helped him become a truly great player!
It does nobody any harm, except from the unwanted social prejudice that still exists today, the sooner this is eradicated the better.
Too true Sandy, those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! He should have his own 🏠 in order before he calls others! Obviously this is not the case, like you said!

In Italy, across several years in Naples FC, ho was almost always registered 168 cm. But he didn't look that. Years later, as other famous players, they discovered that he was measured in football shoes, 3 cm high....So, 165 cm are on the money!

Agüero is 171 cms, only a couple cms on Messi and Maradona is 5'3'' range. Very short, and not the best player ever, bad example to follow if you ask me.

Here's Diego with his son in law Sergio Aguero listed at 5'8 most sites, and Man City website

Diego looks to be in 5'3-5'4 range if Sergio is 5'8, BUT is he?

Messi always seems at least 2 inches taller than him
Since Messi is 169 cm max, maradona is no way taller than 164cm

Parker is either lying or mistaken. I have met Xavi also and I would peg him at a strong 5'7 !!! I am just under 5'8" and he was only a little bit shorter and I have been accuratly measured several times.

5ft 5 at best, but a lot of footballers are small. fantastic player- not the best ever tho- that was Pele.. and i DID see them both play.

Yeah 5'5" is on the money for Maradona , can look shorter (around 5'4") due to his heavy build.

in the 80s he always said 1,66 mt , a friend of mine was drunk in a disco one night in 1996 and bumped into him, kind of hugged him, then chatted a little with him, he described him as short but `incredibly wide-huge, his arms were like a rock, he was all muscle mass !

I saw a documentary of Maradona last night. Even in the 80s he was somewhat bulky, but he was also fit just had rather big legs. Here is an article about his height and weight Click Here I think he was 5'5.5''/165 lbs during his prime...

looks 5.0" in there.....but that's cause he's near Maldini who's tall.
check out the referee on the far right......that referee is 1.72cm....do the math.
yeah Maradona rocks and he is 5'5.

He was the greatest forward of all time in my opinion, and i'm English! I'd say for sure he's 5'5 or around. He looks so small as he had surgery for his obesity and he's keeping fit. He probably weighs about 10 stone and this compared to Maldini's 12 stone plus frame, hes gonna look like a pigmy!

Maldini does have shox on his shoes if you notice the red at the end, anyway I would say 165 is a good guess.

I saw a picture of Diego shaking hands with Bruno Conti (another great champion,168 cm by his own admission) before a game and Maradona was clearly shorter. I think 5'5" is about right. I think Pele' was a better, more complete player than Maradona.

I'm English, and I agree Maradona is the best ever, the hand of god goal was way back in 86, a long time ago, anyway the 6ft Shilton shouldn't have let someone who is 5'5 beat him to a ball in the air - whats goin on!

Beside that Zach about Maldini and Gerrard, I don't see why you are regarding Maldini, it's normal that a 186cm guy looks the same height with a 185cm guy?

Zach - He was one of the best but not the greatest. That title goes to Pele. Also Maradona did some activities also on the field that is really looked down like the "Hand of God".

Yes Zach, Maradona is the greatest footballer ever, I agree with you on that, I think 5'5" is spot on too, i've heard him described as 5'4, and also 5'6", so somewhere in between sounds about right.

To those with a height complexion - this 5'5 guy was the greatest footballer EVER. Only his extracurricular activities makes some say Pele was.
Anyway, regarding Maldini, I'm not sure he's quite the 6 1.5, he seemed the same height as Gerrard (6ft-6'1) when they met at the champions league final last year.

5'5 I think absolute tops for this guy. I watched an interview in the 70's with him that was interpreted by Osvaldo Ardiles standing next to him, who was listed at 5'6 - Diego was noticeably shorter

I think 5'5" is right, in that pic though he looks weird, but I can't figure out why. He looks really small, even though he looks 5'5"

I always thought he was 5'6. But I guess this is more accurate. :)

I'm not so sure on Maradona. His considerable bulk (around 170 lbs., even while he was fit) made him look more compact - but you're right, next to Maldini he does look about 5'5".
