Very big built guy for a footballer. May well have been 6ft or thereabouts in his playing days.

5'11¼ (181cm) peak. I won't give him no more. Always carried a bit of extra weight.

182-183 range .

Looks minimum 182cm here so 183cm prime is more than likely

I popped over to Jan's page to see if he is Dutch, but he's Danish!
I can't see more than 5ft11, so I will go with the average of 5ft11.75.

It's incredible that he was described as 5'11" during his playing career!
Peter 180cm said on 13/Jan/19
Looks 180cm with the lean so about 182 i'd say.

Looks nearer 5'11 than 6'0 in this photo.

@Christian: may depend on footwear. If Rob has an advantage then he could be 6’0” but based on appearances I would say 182 as well
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 23/Sep/18
182cm is more accurate for him. Doesn't look the full 6'0".

Looked 183cm max when with Liverpool. Was described variously as 5'11, 6'0, and 6'1 at the time.

Why not give 182 cm range he's claimed to be?
Editor Rob
It was a height from when he was at Ajax, though some players can have a height taken at 17-18 and then gain a bit more at 18-19.
He certainly didn't seem less than 182cm at near age 54.

@ Andrea
I fully agree!

That's an old name I remember from a mid 90s Premier League sticker album LOL.
Andrea said on 19/Jul/18
He looks somewhere in 5'11 range, here. That being said, I really don't know him, but if he got described as both 5'11 and 182, maybe somewhere between 5'11 and 6' makes more sense than the full 6'?
Editor Rob
Jan in person was close to 6ft (at least 182cm range). I do not know if he is a guy who lost any height but from his Liverpool days I'd have thought he was a six footer.
