Rob, how tall do you think Bobby Moore was?
I've read as high as 6ft2 but always looked similar to Geoff. I'm going with 5ft11 for him as well.....

Editor RobYeah, he looked under 6ft, maybe over 5ft 11 at times
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Feb/23
I think still close to 5ft11 w/h Rob, at least 5ft10¾.
Peak - nothing under 5ft11¼ and quite likely his claim. 6ft out of bed

72 y/o in this pic... still looks at least 5'10.5" so must've been a good 5'11" peak

He looks more like a 5'10.5-5'10.75 guy, based on Rob's eye level, 2 inches plus one third of an inch less shoe than Rob, that would be a 6 cm height difference, 179.5 cm, because Rob is 173'5cm, pretty much like the Average Guess.

Gordon Banks - 5ft11½ (listed 6ft1 Click Here)
Bobby Moore - 5ft11 (found an outrageous 6ft2 listing Click Here)
Jack Charlton - 6ft2
George Cohen - 5ft9½
Ray Wilson - 5ft7
Bobby Charlton - 5ft9
Alan Ball - 5ft6
Martin Peters - 6ft (edged Hurst)
Nobby Styles - 5ft6
Geoff Hurst - 5ft11½
Roger Hunt - 5ft8½

Sir Geoff. One of West Ham’s greats, along with Mooro, Peters, Brooking, Devonshire.
What a feat in ‘66, nobody’s come close in 54 years. Thanks Geoff.
5’11 is fine for Geoff.

I'd go 5ft11.25 peak(probably did measure his claim of 5ft11.5 at about 10am) maybe 5ft10.5-10.75 when Rob met him aged 71 and possibly an inch lost now at nearly 79, 5ft10.25.

He still looks over 5ft10 now...that peak is arguable I think. He's nearly 80

Bobby 5'10 (178cm) said on 28/Jan/19
Was he standing loosely, Rob? I'm only seeing 5'10 for him here. Even taking the footwear advantage on your end, he may only be a 5'10.5 guy.

Editor RobHe was standing ok from what I remember.
He was taller in person than guys like John Barnes and Stuart Pearce who are both more 5ft 10 range.

As I expected 2" difference plus 1/3"footwear disadvantage which gives a solid 5'10.5",quite minimal loss for someone aged 71 (in that pic).

Looks 178cm with less shoe so 179cm is closer.Maybe 180 peak.

I'd probably say he's 5'10.25 today (or at least when the photo was taken). Still looks 5'10 in the photo with a footwear disadvantange.

Editor Rob he seemed comfortably over 5ft 10 that day I felt, then a fraction footwear difference and he wasn't far off 5ft 11, I don't think he'd lost much height by nearly 70.

Not a good example of what 5'11'' guy

Editor Rob I don't think it shows him being near 5ft 11, but he does up close, I mean as I mentioned before, check out PH Moriarty on here and then look at Moriarty with Hurst.
heights can swing about at times in photos.

Just saw him make the world cup brazil draw with both Cafu and Cannavaro (both 176cm). He only had about 1/2 inch on both men. That would make him 178cm today. I think 180cm/181cm peak is correct.

Editor Rob he's not quite a 5ft 11 guy..

Wouldn't doubt this as his peak, but definitely less now as evidenced by the picture.

Editor Rob you only shrink 7mm, I would say you were almost 5ft 10. You could tell people 5ft 10 and most probably wouldn't be able to tell you were 177cm.
I think if people use 'almost' or 'nearly' when they drop like a 1/3rd of an inch below say 5ft 10 it's quite fair.

Seems to have been listed in most places as 181cm, which is more than possible in his prime I guess.
