One of the greatest goalkeepers in history.
Honest with his claim, he always struck me as a tall guy.

Met him for a couple of seconds. He passed next to me when I was in Vinovo with many supporters and he entered in the JV training center.
For sure he’s not under 190cm he gave to me to be a big dude, but quite slim. I think 191cm is fair for him so 6’3-3.25 in foot system

I think he’s an honest 191cm man...maybe 6’3 1/8 or 6’3 1/4 would be fairer for him. Great captain and person!

Looks an inch shorter than Neuer. If Neuer is 193cm, Buffon is no more than 190.5cm.
6ft 3 seems perfect!

Thanks Rob.
5ft5-5.5 and Google listed her 175 cm? They should add “with heels”. In the picture with Cambiasso she reaches 175 cm right?

Donnaruma a bit shorter than 199 cm. He is same or a bit taller than Dida, who is 196 cm. Donnaruma more like 197-198 range.

Every goalkeepers is tall 1,90-2,00. In Italy I remember for example strong goalkeepers and they are tall:
Francesco Toldo (1,96); Gianluigi Donnarumma (1,99); Sebastiano Rossi (1,98); Zeiko Kalac (2,02), ecc.
In the past I remember Fabio Cudicini (1,91) and Bob Lovati (1,88).

He is 188cm MAX. Same height if only a tiny bit taller than chiellini. And bonucci. Pogba looks 6'4 in this pic but he claims 6'2. Llorente looks 6'4.5" - 6'5 if he was standing straight.

What about a page for Courtois ? He looks towering and like a giant. He is may be the best young goalkeeper about.

Pirlo could be 176 cm. Sometimes you can argue 175 and 177 so generally I guess 176 as a fair listing.

Virtually the same height as Paul Pogba. Maybe a 1/8th inch difference between the two if looked closely, but it's a negligible difference.

Nowadays in medical test he must be measured around 191.5 cm because he is listed 192 and Juventus updates real height in its official website

How tall would you guess ex footballer Del Piero is?

Generally listed at 173 (and sometimes at 174), i think, if you met him, you'd be very similar... Solid 5'8!
The guy on the left claimed to be 185 for many years but he clearly looks noway near that mark with Gigi!

Editor Rob no less than 5ft 8 for Del Piero, he may well be a height twin for me. Pirlo I used to think was a 5ft 8 guy too, but I think he was taller than a guy like Del Piero.

Thank you, Rob! I think his claim comes from an actual measurement... Of course, at his low or on a bad day, he may well measure more 6'3 on the dot (I remember you said he looked near 6'3 to you) but I wouldn't guess him under 6'3!
6'3.25 is a pretty good listing for Gigi!

There is a perfect pic(Pepsi Dream Team 2001) to guess his height.
Click Here
Buffon is 6'3 with shoes and Beckham is 6 with shoes in this pic.
So I'd say he is about 6'2.

I think he's more 190,5-191 cms than 190-190,5 cms so 6'3-6'3.25" is more accurate than 6'2.75-6'3", however in my opinion he night be 6'3" on the nose.

Very good listing Rob! He officially claimed 191 and 192...Probably he was measured both during the day...He was never shorter than Pogba. Same height as Pogba seems fair.
