Michael Owen's Height
5ft 7 ¾ (172.1 cm)
English footballer, who played for Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle United. A winner of the Ballon D'Or in 2001, he went on to gain 89 caps for his country, scoring 40 goals. Brazilian Carlos Alberto once said "This man, this midget, I refuse to talk about him any more. I will talk about Beckham, Rooney, Ferdinand or Lampard, but not this midget. This midget ought to clean the boots of Beckham as they are so wet tonight". In a 2006 SportingLife.com interview, Owen said of his height: "I'm 5ft 8in and I couldn't win many high balls". At Real he was once listed 176cm.
In this photo I had slightly more (0.1-0.2in) sneaker than him.

@Cold Water
If those ranges are the ranges in which you'd expect them to actually measure, I'm pretty sure Rob would be 173-174 cm, since he has measured pretty much everything between those heights (and never under it)
Pretty sure Owen looks 3 cm shorter than Rob there, making him 170-171 cm. With the footwear disadvantage, he's 170.2-171.5 cm
171 cm/5'7.25 is perfect

He could seem like a 5 ft 7 guy at times but then he was often stood next to big 6'3 defenders, I'd have guessed 5'7.5.

Rob have you considered adding Alan Shearer? His height is all over the place, certainly not the 6 foot he was regularly listed at.
He can look anywhere from 5'10 to 5'11, if you look at pictures of him on Google with 5'9 Ian Wright he can at times look barely taller, and sometimes 2 inches.
====================================================================================================
Shearer is the Hulk Hogan of the Premier League. By that I mean, it's very hard to judge. I agree there are pictures where he looks about 5'10, but these are often on football pitches which is really unreliable. I don't know if you've ever played, but the heavier you are (and Shearer is probably a 13 stone man - which is heavy in the world of professional athletes) the more you sink into the pitch! So, I'm certain he loses at least an inch of height to lighter players just because of his weight.
If you look at pictures of Shearer off the football pitch (ie. standing on solid ground), I think he is 6 foot. The example you gave of Ian Wright being a similar height to Shearer on the pitch - well Shearer, is at least 3 inches taller off the pitch. I've personally seen Les Ferdinand (6 foot) with Alan Shearer off the pitch, and they're the same height. I've seen Alan Shearer with Matt Le Tissier (6 foot 1) off the pitch, and they're roughly the same height. I just mean, you can't judge athletes height on the pitch. Because they're standing on soft grass/mud. And the heavier you are, the more height you lose on those circumstances. And Shearer was probably one of the heaviest/strongest players in the entire league

He looks like 171 or 5'7 3/8 here with Rob,a little less than 1"difference imo.Then add 0.1-.2 footwear disadvantage and you get something around 5'7.5"which could be what he's.172 is not impossible but I would have said the difference is too obvious even considering footwear.I mean despite his thicker hair he still looks clearly shorter

Look like 3/4 inch shorter than Rob. 5'7 1/2 a low and 3/4 is right. It makes me wonder all footballer were listed 1/4 too high only Rio Ferdinand listed 1/4 too low.

go to david beckhams page I posted some photos there where both stand together and also stand with other footballers . Michael Owen looks really short next to them all . I somehow doubt that he is 172cm at night as rob lists him . not that I am doubting robs eyes but why does michael owen look so short ?
I think the difference between rob and owen is pretty noticable . I think 170cm for owen might be closer to the truth tbh

In this picture it looks like a good 0.75 inch difference, so that would make Owen 171 cm max.
But since Rob had 0.1 - 0.2 inch more footwear, lets say he had as much as 0.2 inch (5 mm) then I can't see Owen above 5'7.5
A 5'7.5 downgrade would look 10 times better imo

I wouldn't actually disagree with the average guess, he has a chance of measuring anywhere between 171 to 2 range.

What you guys tend to do is reduce EVERYONE's heights, to make your sums work! So you reduce Beckham to 5'11, and Shearer to 5'10, and Owen to 5'6. It's plainly false. Shearer is about 5 inches taller than his adult son - do you genuinely think his adult son is 5'5 inches tall? lol

The comments about Shearer are plainly ridiculous. I've met him a few times. He lives in the area, and sometimes comes into the pub by me. He's genuinely a big guy - 6 foot (or so). You can see him in pictures with Matt le Tissier and Teddy Sheringham (both listed at 6.1) and there isn't much height difference.
So let's not decrease Shearer's height, to make your theories about Michael Owen's height work................... Shearer genuinely is 6 foot tall, making Owen about 5'8

He's one of those football players whose height seemed to fluctuate depending with which players he was around. But I'll have to add 1cm to Rob's estimate:173cm (5'8") which is also what he claimed when he was 27.

I am not sure about how tall he looks in all these photos which are posted, all I know is that when I saw him he looked around 5' 7" in his footwear. I doubt he is much more than 5' 6" barefoot.

@Parker if he would reach Beckham's eyes he would be around 170.5, but he is clearly 3 cm over that mark. No less than 173.5 in my opinion

Comments on your photos:
Owen looks 3.5" - 3.75" shorter than Shearer.
Owen looks 2" shorter than Rooney.
So based on your pictures, which are both very good for judging heights btw, I will go with:
Owen - 5'7"
Rooney - 5'9"
Shearer - 5'10.5" or a weak 5'11"

Shearer is the toughest I really cant pin him down. He cant be more than 181cm but does occasionally look kinda average. I could see as low as 178cm even its really difficult!
- Id say somewhere around a weak 5'11 179-180cm is where my money would be.
Shearer is pretty clearly a 5'11-6' range guy like Beckham. Jake Humphrey had 4-5 inches on him and he;s a legit 6'4".

No need to apologize for your essay mate, I like long posts about footballers' heights :P .
You should check out the David Beckham page for links to pictures of Beckham and Tony Blair. Blair is listed as 6ft (183cm) here and Beckham looks only 1cm shorter than him so 181-182cm for Beckham is my guess. I always thought Shearer was a tiny bit shorter than Becks so 180-181cm is my guess for Shearer. I don't see him as low as 178cm though, check out the pictures of Shearer and 172cm Owen - the difference is more than 6cm I think. Rooney 175cm seems right. But I still think Lampard and Gerrard are 6 footers mate, Lampard is clearly taller than Beckham in almost every picture I see of them. Lampard around 183cm, Gerrard around 184cm is my guess.

@ KIller Shrimp - In All of those cases youve listed them at the absolute MAX thats possible :P
Ill say between where I think is possible for all of them:
Shearer: 178-181cm
Beckham: 180-181.5cm
Rooney: 174-175.5cm
Lampard: 181.5-183cm
Gerrard: 182.5-184cm
^^ Impossible out of those ranges for either of them.
Gerrard has claimed 6ft before..Ive never really thought Stevey G was over 6ft(if anything a smidge under). Hes certainly never 185 but possibly at very best around 184cm?
- strong 183 at night like 183-183.4 is my guess for Stevie(6'0.25).
Lampard is NEVER over 6ft and could be 5'11.5.
- somewhere around 182(181.8-182.2) at night for Lamps.
Beckham always appears 181 at best and could be near 180(he was listed 179 early career, did he grow?) hes certainly too clearly under 6ft to be more than 181.
- A solid strong 5'11 (180.3-180.6cm) is my guess for sir david.
Rooney is clearly not short but clearly not 5'10. Hes like my kinda range or maybe a smidge smaller.
- My guess for wayne is around 175cm(174.8-175.2)
Shearer is the toughest I really cant pin him down. He cant be more than 181cm but does occasionally look kinda average. I could see as low as 178cm even its really difficult!

Thanks for replying to my post. I think you're right, some footballers heights are boosted for some reason. In a few rare cases a players height might be downgraded instead.

@ Jake 1.82 - heres what I think:
Gerrard: 6ft on the dot.
Owen: 5'7.5-5'7.75
Beckham: 5'11-5'11.25
Rooney: 5'9-5'9.25
Messi: 5'6.25-5'6.5
Ronaldo: Weak 6'1 or 6'1 on the dot at most (There was a show testing his skills on sky sports and he was put at 185.1cm so I doubt hes over 6'1 at night and maybe a little under if 185.1cm)
@ Killer Shrimp - Ive always thought Shearer was a blatent liar about his 6ft claim. He is clearly not a 182cm+ guy. Somewhere between 178-181?
179-180cm for Shearer would be my guess most likely as IMO he appears solid average and slightly above so cant be lower than 179cm. Saying that though, the picture with weak 5'8 Peter Beardsley/181 ranged David Beckham makes him look about 177 lol.
Roy Keane IMO is never 178cm either. He often looked kinda under average. I pegged him at a weak 5'9 but at best a strong 5'9 no more than 176cm for Keano.
Stuart Peace is another 5'10 claimer whoes 5'9 at best.
You never know with footballers its all BS lol. You get some that look a comfertable 2 inches shorter than they are listed.
Im 175.5cm at night and a few mm taller midday(around 175.9cm 5'9.25).
Now If I was a footballer I should be listed 176cm IMO. However Id stick a pair of football boots on that put me 178-179 and then Id round up and say "about 5'11". Id get listed as 5'11(180cm) when really im 176cm at best, a good 4cm shorter. Shearer "183cm" is probably "179cm" you see how it works?
Obviously some are actually close to being right or actually maybe a slight downgrade.
A good example of a downgrade is Adam Johnson of England and Man City. Hes listed at 5'9 on alot of sites. Take a look at him? is that a 5'9 guy? he looks tallish at least 5'10 and IMO near 5'11?
What do you think rob?

Roy Keane IMO is never 178cm either. He often looked kinda under average. I pegged him at a weak 5'9 but at best a strong 5'9 no more than 176cm for Keano.
Stuart Peace is another 5'10 claimer whoes 5'9 at best.
You never know with footballers its all BS lol. You get some that look a comfertable 2 inches shorter than they are listed.
Im 175.5cm at night and a few mm taller midday(around 175.9cm 5'9.25).
Now If I was a footballer I should be listed 176cm IMO. However Id stick a pair of football boots on that put me 178-179 and then Id round up and say "about 5'11". Id get listed as 5'11(180cm) when really im 176cm at best, a good 4cm shorter. Shearer "183cm" is probably "179cm" you see how it works?
Obviously some are actually close to being right or actually maybe a slight downgrade.
A good example of a downgrade is Adam Johnson of England and Man City. Hes listed at 5'9 on alot of sites. Take a look at him? is that a 5'9 guy? he looks tallish at least 5'10 and IMO near 5'11?
What do you think rob?

Other players whose heights are wrong (Everton ones):
Tony Hibbert 5ft 7 but often listed at 5 ft 8
Leon Osman listed at 5ft 8 but looks smaller than this. Leighton Baines listed at 5 ft 7 but probably 5 ft 6. Seem to be given an extra inch at times.

Parker - That is an interesting photo and I must confess that I am amazed. I had never seen Tevez and Messi together before only separately on T.V. playing for their clubs. From that observation I would have thought Messi was a couple of inches taller, probably because Tevez stockier build makes him look shorter on T.V. That photo proves otherwise.

In the FA Cup line up Tevez is a shrimp. With Shawcross at 1.91m, Tezez is at least one full head height shorter. that is around 28cm which makes Tevez (being generous) 1.63 or 5'4" in the old money. Certainly not 5'8" as claimed

Dean, don't think Gerrard is a weak 6'. I've seen a ton of pictures of both Lampard and Gerrard and if anything Gerrard is the taller of the two. And Lampard definitely isn't shorter than about 5'11.5 at the absolute lowest.
Torres is definitely 6'1. It's just funny how when he's on form he's this towering man and then when he's badly out of it he comes back down to earth. Although Andy Gray would call Wayne Rooney 6'4 if he thought he could get away with it...such is his love for him.
I still think Rooney's a strong 5'8. He's definitely taller than 5'7 Owen but shorter than 5'9 Neville.

I always thought Malouda was 5'11 before he joined Chelsea. Every site listed him as that and it was only when he did an interview alongside his friend Sagna that the two were almost identical in height (if not more in Sagna's favour).
Then I saw a picture of Malouda in a huddle with A.Cole (5'7), Lampard (6'0), Drogba (6'2) and Ballack (6'3) and Malouda was significantly smaller than all and just taller than Cole.
It's funny how only footballers grow and shrink based on reputation. Fernando Torres was 6' when he was 18/19, then 6'1 when he joined Liverpool and then 6' when he went through a bad patch earlier this year. I actually saw a paper listing him as 5'11 at one point this summer!

another 1 that makes me laugh is Aqulani of Liverpool. 186cm!! he looks about 5'11 at most...dont understand how they list them!

The funniest though is Malouda 5'11 hahahaa..he looks definetly smaller than 5'10 either 5'9 or even 5'8 for him as well..they measure with boots on and then lie 1/2-1 inch so really there about 1.5-2 inch more than reality. If I was a footballer at my height which is a legit 5'9(175.5cm) Id wear my boots which would put me 177.5-178.5(5'10-5'10.5) then Id think hmmm Im 5'11! lol..you can see why they do it ha

Henrique Hilario - 6'2 = no taller than 5'11
Cesc Fabregas - 5'9 (sometimes 5'10) = no taller than 5'8
Florent Malouda - 5'11 = yet he's no taller than 5'9 Bacary Sagna
Wayne Rooney - 5'10 = always looked 5'8. Don't know why he's still got that listing

During the last World Cup tournaments they listed the metric heights of the England squad on screen and Owen was 170cm, a fraction under 5'7" which I think is more or less right, although footballers can look shorter than they are. Robbie Keane is listed as 5'9" and he always seems shorter than that to me.

I think 5'8 is slightly generous, as he looks exactly the same height as Obafemi Martins, who's listed everywhere as 5'7, so 5'7 is more trueful imo. He's certainly no smaller than 5'7 though.

I've also noticed the same about Newcastle squad. I think their listings are accurate nowadays. Also Emre has had ridiculous listings of 5ft11 in some websites eventhough he is 5ft7. Spanish teams seem to lie more than brittish for example Diego Forlan was listed 5ft8 in ManU and nowadays 5ft11 in Atletico Madrid. Michael was also listed 5ft9 in Real Madrid.

Newcastle United used to lie alot about their players heights on the official height but right now they seem more honest on the site. There's been an overhaul of the webpage and of course a great new manager has took over, so maybe that is why.
For example I used to be perplexed at Damien Duff being billed as 5'11, when he clearly was not, he is billed as 5'9 now. They had the audacity to bill Obefemi Martins as 5'9 when he is clearly a little pug, boxer type character and now he is billed as a more realistic 5'7. They used ot bill Nicky Butt at a majestic 6' and now he is down to 5'10. He just used to look tallish on the pitch because our team was short last season.
Our team has gone up in size this season though with players like Faye, Rozenhal, Barton, Cacapa, Enrique, Beye and of course Viduka who are all over average height for sure. The weird one though is Shola Ameobi who is billed as 6'2 when he is clearly taller, some sites bill him as 6'3 and I'd say that is more accurate he was deffo 3-3.5 inches taller then shearer who is a cast iron 182 cm. (I've met him)

I think Michael is around 5'8. He tends to look shorter because he's always around guys who are either above average height or tall.

He does look pretty small. I read that his shoe size is 6 1/2. Is that true?

On reflection I think I may have been a little harsh on Michael as he is a great goalscorer, however, I stick by my height estimation.

I agree that Carlos Alberto's comments were a little over the top, however, I have always felt Michael Owen was grossly overrated and I have seen him up close and there is no way whatsoever that he is 5'8" without lifts and no photos of him standing alongside Beckham, Lampard or Crouch will convince me otherwise. Barefoot he is around 5'6".

That is interesting Parker. At least you have confirmed that if he was 5'10" in his shoes that either the 5'11" listing is wrong or else the heights are definately not taken in barefoot which is what I guessed.

Saw Ian Wright measured in his shoes on the 'Guiness records' show at 5'10 - 5'8/5'9 barefoot? Also watched him interviewed with Kevin Keegan - looked about 2-3 inches taller than Keegan. Think I'd put him about 5'9. I think 5'7 is too short.

That is very interesting PC. I remember when Ian Wright was with Crystal Palace and when he first moved to Arsenal he was listed as 5'11". In his early years with Arsenal he had a 'short fuse' and got into problems on the pitch with referees and opposition players and one Newspaper accuised him of being a 'bully'. When interviewed he stated, "I have been accused of being a bully by the media yet I am only 5'8"! Three inches is alot of difference!

Robert R, I thought I'd do a quick google search on Ian Wright to see his listed heights and found an interesting comment at Click Here where he makes comments about Jermain Defoe (Who's regularly listed at 5'6"-5'7") saying "The only thing that’s the same about us is our height," revealed Wright when we caught up with him for an exclusive chat. "Jermain is about three years ahead of where I was when I was his age (this was in 2004). How can he be anywhere near Defoe's height if he's been listed as high as 5'11"? The mystery of footballers' heights continues..

While I agree to some extent with what you say about players mysteriously growing in height in their 20s after switching clubs (see my post 5/Dec/06), there are of course some players who are downgraded to begin with. Frank Lampard for example used to be given a 178cm listing, but is now given correctly at 183cm. I have seen Chelsea play this season, and Joe Cole didn't look short on the pitch considering 1.69/70m Makelele and (very little) Shaun Wright-Philips were playing also, so maybe 1.75m is correct. Indeed I also have no idea how footballers are measured. I've seen Arjen Robben listed by Chelsea as 180cm, then 186cm and now 181cm (all this season). What's going on? Maybe he slipped a pay cheque under the table during his 2nd medical ;-), after all 183cm is only average for a dutchman.

Take notice that Nick Barmby is not next to Owen, so it´s kind of pointless to compare both players heights if they´re not next to each other. Also notice that Owen is slightly taller than Keegan (almost an inch) and no the same height. So here you can see that 175cm for Owen is quite right.

Footballers heights many times tend to be underrated or overrated...Both Ashley and Joe Cole got underrated Ashley Cole is 173cm and Joe Cole is 175cm tall who´s the same height as Owen, all spot on. Michael Owen is 175cm tall. See him next to players that are solid 182cm/183cm tall like Beckham and you´ll notice that he´s not like 10cm shorter than them, but more like 7cm/8cm.

I think he's about 5'8", but then again i'm confused when players like Ashley Cole and Joe Cole who both used to get listed as 5'7" (170cm) one or two years ago are now apparently 173cm and 175cm respectively. Have they grown in their mid-20s? Michael Owen was definitely 168cm when he was 18 (as that was his listed height for the 1998 world cup), so its possible he might have grown 4cm.
It seems to me that despite footballers having medical check-ups, the players who are on the short side always get a few cms increase- like 5'5" Paul Scholes listed as 5'6" by Man Utd and even 5'7" in places and Shaun Wright-Philips who looks 5'5" max listed as 5'6".

I think given how they stand, there's a 3.5 inch difference, but Beckham's feet are marginally wider apart, so I'll give it 4 inch difference. To me, Michael Owen is 5' 7.5" and maybe scraping 172 cm.
Beckham isn't at least 5 inches taller than Owen in the pic below. The distance from Owen's eyes to top of head is about 4 inches, add another 0.5 inch for Becks coz of his feet distance apart. 4 inches and no more.

Why would a 177cm guy call a 173cm guy a midegt? haha
Anyway, footballers are always medically checked for stats, therefore if you check on soccer sites all heights and weights of footballers are mentioned. He is always listed as 5'8". On the Real madrid websites he's listed a 5'9", but that could be with shoes.

Football players cant really get away with fibbing their heights with wearing boots etc. Owen seems very small from a distance but is probably 5'8. He's always been an inch or so taller than Paul Scholes and Joe Cole (both 5'7)

To me it goes down like this: Owen is height 174.5 cm, Gerrad's is 186cm (he has the tendency to not stand up straight in team photos, so that gives the impression of being like 1 or 2cm shorter). Terry is for sure 187cm, although I think he's actually 186cm and Lampard is 182cm...
