Yh I think I'd say Terry was very similar to someone like Djokovic. 189 out of bed,186.5 at worst and the majority of the day in and around a decent 187. Kind of height where its forgivable to round up to 6ft2.

Rory, more likely 6ft2 late morning. I think 6ft1½ is his low.

I think this 6ft1.5 is perfect for him. Looked a good 4 inches shorter than Anthony Joshua at a recent charity event. He's got a good build JT,slim and broad shouldered which means he could pull off 6ft2 easily, but when compared to others I think he definitely looks under it. I reckon he probably got measured 187 late morning.

Rob, maybe 6ft1¾ is closer?
Not sure about giving him the 6ft2 although he does pull it off a lot. Earlier in the day for sure though...

Editor RobCurrent listing would be lowest I'd go, so I can see 1.75 as a possibility too.

@Rory I’m hitting 186.7 in the afternoon pal, then I shrink a bit more after gym in the evening. I think that’s a fair judge of overall height. If Terry was taller he would be listed as 6’1 3/4 or 6’2.

@Ryan Taylor I think in terms of this site the listings are based around what that person will measure most of the time. For someone like you, you're probably going to spend most of your day in the 186 to 186.5 area, you'll be 188 for about 1 minute and then late on you'll dip under 186,so the rationale is claim a height you'll measure most of the time, so not out of bed height or absolute lows either. Again though in your case if you measure 6ft2 out of bed I think claiming 6ft1.5 is fine, but JT would be a more solid one imo.

@Rory I think it’s rare to class someones low as their height. An average or afternoon height would be more correct. I’m around 186.7 in afternoon, and according to this listing Terry would be too. If he really is taller then he should have an upgrade.

@Ryan Taylor, I don't think the average between out of bed and your low is really how the listings work. I've always assumed each listing is near a celebrities low range,you for example with those measurements I'd class as a 6ft1.25 guy,although it'd be fair enough if you wanted to claim 6ft1.5 too,youd measure around it late morning.
Terry I'd say is probably 188.5-9 out of bed and 186.5 at night, solid 6ft1.5 with the kind of build where he could claim 6ft2 and almost no one would object.

Stood next to Terry I think you'd be very close but I think he probably could measure about quarter inch more than you. I think JT would always clear 186 when standing tall.

Hi Rob, I’m 188 out of bed and 185.8 before bed, would I be the same height as JT?

This guy is so strange come to think of it. Sometimes he only looks an inch taller than Lampard like he should be, other times he looks 3-4 inches taller making him as tall as near 6'5 and at least 6'4! I'm touching 5'10 in the morning on a good day, these days, and my height difference with a 6'2 lad I know doesn't eclipse the difference Terry had on Lampard in one deceiving England photo back in the golden days. Well I do not doubt Terry is a cm above 6'2, 187 cm is a good shout.

Met him and Lampard in 2013 before a game, got photos with them.
I'm 192cm and a fair bit taller than Lampard.
However Terry was ing huge! No less than 6'2. Had a big presence about him too, very broad.
A few of my mates who've met him too on seperate occasions said he was way taller than expected

No, he clearly edges Ronaldo there. If you want to see how John Terry matches up to Thierry Henry watch the opening 10 seconds of this video
Click Here
JT maybe looks a fraction taller than Henry but then he obviously has hair advantage and on balance has better posture normally than Henry, so I think both at 6ft1.5 is fair, they'd be very close.

In the early days he was listed 6ft, then 6ft1 and then in the last 10-12 years it's been 6ft2. I originally thought he was just another Steve Gerrard type, a 6ft guy who got over listed which is pretty common for players who become popular. But clearly not the case with Terry. He does generally look at least 6ft1½ if not 6ft2...I think he might actually edge Thierry Henry

@ Sandy Cowell - It would have been interesting if he had played for the mighty “Blue Peter”!
I wonder if he is as tall as Thierry Henry!

I think he’s a solid 187cm guy like Paolo Maldini. I think maybe 6’1.75/187cm would be fairer
