you can't rule it out, he would clear 6ft 8 out of bed.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 22/Nov/13
Around 202-203cm for definite and 6ft9 range in football boots. He's definitely playing down his height because he probably hates being so tall.
Rob, who do you think would be taller Crouch or Stephen Merchant?
Editor Rob
both guys look quite similar, but crouch can look enormous at times and can pass for 6ft 8

@Lo, she is actually 5'7.5"-5'8". I've seen her next to other people and in fairness she often easily looks 5 ft 8 even accounting for heels. It's just Crouch is understating his height at 6'7". If he measured under 205cm in footwear I'd be surprised.

Arch Stanton said on 19/May/13
Yeah that daughter of his is going to end up over 6 ft almost certainly. Tall fathers tend to have tall daughters, look at Sophie Ellis Bexter and Lisa Snowdon for instance. And her mother's pretty tall for a woman too. Very tall people usually display the trait right from birth unless they develop some disease like acromegaly and the fact she is the height of a 3 year old at 1 says it all!
Arch Stanton said on 8/May/13

Either he's 6 ft 8 range or she's not 5 ft 9. Those heels should make her easily 6 ft and she's still almost a full head shorter. I think she's 5 ft 8, that Van Outen pic suggests she isn't above 5'8" too.

5'7" for Abby is a little too low I think but I think somewhere around 5'8" barefoot is about right. If she is genuinely 5'9" then Crouch is easily 6 ft 9. He looks 12-13 inches taller. Van der Saar is 197cm and looks it, Isaakson is 199cm I think. I tend to remember the heights of very tall people! @Jude Crouch was the same height if not a shade taller than Zigic

Abby Clancy's height too could be well exagerrated. I mean look at the size of those heels if she was a legit 5'9" then she'd be 6'2" range in them surely. And the guy nearest her actually looks quite stocky and certianly doesn't look over 6'. And the guy at the back is way taller than her and he's in his barefeet. He'd have to be 6'5" or 6'6" and how many male models are that height? none unless they are modelling for Neil Fingletons clothes website!!
Shaun said on 19/Oct/11

Exaggerrating angle maybe but in my opinion he gives the ooomph! factor with his height like an NBA basketball player would. He said himself a lot of people abroad when they see him think he's a basketball player. I genuinely think he looks 6 ft 9 in shoes.
Shaun said on 19/Oct/11
Well Rio Ferdinand is probably one of the best examples of a 191cm 6'3" guy you can possibly get. And with his built he can look quite lanky at times like another excellent 6'3" example Sacha Baron Cohen. Rio was a shade shorter than legit 6'3.5" Snoop Dogg. Crouch has near 5 inches on Rio. Rob how much would be a reasonable height loss range for a super tall guy between 6'6 and 7 ft ? Do you think they could lose quite 2 inches a day? I mean if you are 325 pounds like 7'1" Shaq you could imagine him being around 7'2 out of bed and barely 7' flat at night?

Beckham i think might be 181cm given how he was towered by 190cm Prince William 1 year ago and is a fraction shorter than 182cm Robbie Williams.
Rob do you think Peter Crouches frame and body type might give the illusion of looking taller than he really is in photos? I know somebody that is 6'2 (188cm) and he has the same body type as crouch and he can pull of looking 6'3 alot.
Editor Rob
yes his build certainly adds to how tall he can look alone or with others.

The thing is Rob if you see pictures like
Click Here 5'11.5" Beckham comes up to his shoulders. I know Crouch has angle advantage and Becks is hunched a little but just compare their body lengths. Crouch gives the illusion of being a foot taller! I mean the height difference looks no less than it does between Rob and Daniel Cudmore and Beckham is 3.5 inches taler than Rob.

Not barefoot, I agree but I think Crouch in a pair of normal loafers would be very close to 6'9". To me he looks about 6'9" in shoes. Easy to imagine him measuring 202-03cm barefoot though seeing that Dubai beach picture.

There is a guy I see at my works occasionally, he is huge, I wouldn't have a clue whether he was 6'10,7' or 7'2, all I can say is he is easily a head taller than a 6'2 colleague of mine.

Thereel, Crouch actually looks more like 3 inches taller than James, since he is further from the camera. This is one of the most interesting guys on this site, most people actually wants an upgrade rather than a downgrade, lol.
5'8.56784 said on 28/Jul/11
Shaun, when girls wearing heels are walking, the heel advantage dissapears since the foot is bending naturally independently of the heels. Now those platforms might make Abby look 5'10, and he's still nearly a whole foot taller, even without raising his feet. I say this guy is indeed 6'9 and is lying bout his height since in football being extremely tall is not too useful, it might give you a tremendous advantage at jumping and headbutting the ball, and gives you enough resch to impose marking over any player, but it also makes you slower, not that precise when kicking and useless defending against shortish and fast attackers like Lionel Messi or Wayne Rooney.

Better sized version. Ignore the hat and she's below his shoulder, more like two inches below shoulder line. That's undoubtedly at least 12 inches. I think Clancy is 5'8" but that makes Peter 6'8" at least.... Crouches proportions are just into giant territory I think, he really looks like an NBA player. So I'd say he has to be a little over 6'7" to pull that off.
Shaun said on 10/May/11

OK Abbey Clancy claims to be 5 ft 9, a little taller than Rob. Now look at the Daniel Cudmore photo and see where Rob comes. Now compare Abbey to Peter who is in half stride and not even standing straight. Abbey look easily two inches lower than Rob does in comparison to Cudmore. OK its on a beach but there a plenty of photos of them side by side and he looks near 13 inches taller.
Shaun said on 10/May/11
I think its realistic that he stands close to 6'9" normal shoes. If you look at photos of him he has to be 6'8.5"-6'9" in footwear. So he would have to be a strong 6'7" barefoot.

Good call Rob, 6'7.5" is minimum I think and he was the same height as that Serbian footballer who is officially listed at 202cm and the media thus claimed to be taller in the media than Crouch. He aint!. He is clearly taller than 6'7" flat. Clancy is no less than a legit 5 ft 8, see her next to Holly Willoughby, J Ross etc etc and Peter looks at LEAST a foot taller than Abbey.

Look at his proportions here. Almost giraffe like, very basketball player-like. He looks at least 6'9" in that picture. i think in reality he is a strong 6 ft 7 barefoot with relaxed posture and would measure around 6'8.5"-6 ft 9 in normal shoes.

Abbey Clancey is 5ft8, but 5ft7.5 is not out of question. She does look 1foot shorter then Crouch.
queenie said on 2/Feb/11
Abbey Clancy is 5'7"-5'8" absolute max. If you watch her on Britain's Next Top Model, whenever there's a scene where the 'models' have to all stand barefoot, if you look closely, Abbey is the only one always standing on tip-toe to be the same height as the other girls who are mainly only 5'9"-5'11". She did look nearly the same height as Jonathan Ross, but she doesn't wear 3 inch heels, her heels are usually 5 or 6 inches - proper killer ones. Saying all that, I still think Peter could be slightly over 6'7".
Could we get a separate page for Abbey? Her height is interesting to speculate over, what with the different heights given by her of herself over the years, the 5'9" her model agency says she is, the very high heels she wears and also in comparison with her fiance. If I had to, I'd give her 5'8" for now.

From the photos in the recent B'ham Spurs game Crouch and Zigic look the same if not Crouch a shade taller
Zigic is always quoted at 2.02 = 6'7.5"
Crouch should be 2.02 or 2.03 = 6'7.5" or 6,8"
He does look a good 12" taller than Abbey Clancy, leaving her at 5'8", no more

wow. 6'7, that's incredibly tall.

Jonathan ross is just 6ft,not 6'1, vince vaughn had four inches on him, so abbey would of just had to be 5'11 in heels, next to ross to look a inch shorter
Rubbish. Yes Vaughn had 4 inches on him because he's 6'5" and Ross is 6'1", do the math... Ross was noticeably taller than
Vin Diesel who's a strong 5'11" and probably wearing lifts. At worst Ross is 185cm. He has about 2 inches on David Beckham.
I'm pretty sure Abbey Clancy is around 5'9" as she claims, she looks it next to Holly Willougby, definately no lower than 5'8". Most photos of her and Peter barefoot show she's level with his shoulder. Crouch does look the full foot taller than her....

Rob how many inches would you say are between your shoulder and the top of your head?
Editor Rob
11, 12 inches

Peter and Abbey barefoot on a beach, she is level with his shoulder. Rob how many inches would you say are between your shoulder and the top of your head? I usually think the head measures 9-10 inches so about 12 inches? If Abbey Clancy is 5'9" Peter looks 6'9" in comparison. I can't see Abbey being 5'7" and in 3 inch heels she looked 6' next to Jonathan Ross.
Shaun said on 17/Dec/10
Its very odd but if you look at pictures of Khloe Kardashian who is supposed to be around 5'8.5" legit and Lamar Odom who is supposed to be 6'10" Crouch actually looks a little taller in relation to Abbey Clancy who is about the same height as Khloe. Odom though is 6'10" in basketball sneakers which give 1.25" so Odom is 6'8.75".
Shaun said on 17/Dec/10
Crouch is leaning in that photograph if they both stood up straight Crouch does look as if he'd be a shade taller, they are roughly the same height though. Zigic is often described as being "6'8".
Shaun said on 17/Dec/10
Well put it this way 6'2" Sol Campbell who is a big strong guy as we all know comes up to the bottom of Crouch''s nose. That means Crouch is somehwere between 5-6 inches taller which places him 6'7"-6'8" range.
Shaun said on 17/Dec/10
Abbey Clancy is definately around a legit 5'9" as she looks much taller than Holly Willoughby. I know she had footwear advantage but she was still at least 2 inches taller than her. Crouch I agree looks more 6'9" than 6'7". Abbey in heels would be taller than most men and she looks tiny next to Crouch.
Mickser said on 6/Dec/10
I am 6'5" (unfortunately measured in police station) and for once i met someone taller than me. Really nice guy i met him in a well known Dublin nightclub and he was there with his missus i said hello to him at the bar and he said hello back and as far as i can tell he was approx 2" taller than me so id defo put him at 6'7"

Here's another pic with Peter Crouch and his 5'9 girlfriend
Click Here
From this pic I would say Peter is around a foot taller - I do think he's downplaying his height at 6'7.
Agreed. Just look at him from the side in that picture link you gave when you said this. That in my view is how a legit 6'8" looks. I could even buy 6'8.5" for Crouch. I doubt he is 6'9" but he isn't far off it.
Doug said on 2/Jul/09
I have a 6'7" friend who is built like Crouch and I have to say I think Crouch would be a little taller than him. Also there is a French swimmer who is 6'8.5" and when standing like Crouch is in that David James pic they look very similar in body proportions. I think he is more 204 cm personally. It is easy to get carried away with tall guys but I don't exaggerate. I genuinely think he looks a legit 6'8".
Doug said on 2/Jul/09
Caleb thats exactly what I thought. I would have estaimted Abbey to be 5'8" and Crouch 6'8".
Doug said on 2/Jul/09
Basically I think Crouch always looks like a legit 6'8". He has at least three inches on David James. He also has at least four inches on Rio Ferdinand etc. Having seen him barefoot I definately think he is downgrading his height. 6'8" legit I think. I think he is more 202-203cm minimum.
Doug said on 2/Jul/09
David James is indeed 6'4.5. That still makes Crouch in the 6'8" range
James said on 2/Jul/09
Except David James is 6'4.5.
Caleb said on 2/Jul/09
With regards to my previous comment, I'm dead on 6' barefoot and we've a student at the college I work at who is 6'7", and I probably just come up to the bottom of his chin which supposedly 5'9" Abbey can't quite do even when she's in her 4/5 inch heels. Thus, I'd say subtract Abbey an inch, and maybe add one on for Peter.
Caleb said on 2/Jul/09
Abbey Clancy stated her height as 5'8.5" when she was a contestant on Britain's Next Top Model a few years ago, which she has since elevated to 5'9". She always wears VERY high heels (at least 4.5 inches) and often more. Check out the heels she wore on Jonathan Ross - very high. I'd put Abbey at 5'8" and Peter Crouch at 6'8" minimum. Thing is, they both consistently state their heights as 5'9" and 6'7" respectively, but she's probably giving herself the extra inch to give herself the standard model height, and he doesn't want to be considered too much of a giant.

Doug says on 1/Jul/09
Parker google image Ivo Karlovic and Arnaud Clement. Karlovic is 6'10" and Clement is 5'8". Would you say the way the two appear together look very similar to how Crouch looks in height compared to Abby?
Yes. Here's Crouch with legit 6'5 David James
Click HereI see a min 3 inch difference - Agree he could be 6'8-6'9. Just as a lot of short guys seem to use Rob's '2 inch rule' i.e Give height in shoes then add an inch, I think Peter may be a tad embarrased and subtracting inches.
James said on 1/Jul/09
He certainly towers over 6'2.75-6'3 Rio Ferdinand by more than 4 inches.
Doug said on 1/Jul/09
Parker google image Ivo Karlovic and Arnaud Clement. Karlovic is 6'10" and Clement is 5'8". Would you say the way the two appear together look very similar to how Crouch looks in height compared to Abby? Clement is supposedly shorter than Abby too. Crouch doesn't look as if he'd be hardly any shorter than Karlovic. I really think he is 6'8"-6'9".
Doug said on 1/Jul/09
Indeed, maybe 5'8" at lowest. on Jonathan Ross (he is 6'1" and looks it compared to most guests in comparison) Abbey was only about an inch shorter in heels. So she has to be at least 5'8" without them and lokoing at the legs looks a legit 5'9" in my view. Check out Abbey Clancy on Jonathan Ross on YouTube and you'll see how tall she is!! Crouch has to be taller, I always suspected so as he towers above even 6'4" guys.
Parker said on 1/Jul/09
Doug - Here's an interesting comment under the daily mail pics.
Abbey clearly is not 5'9, there is a least a 15in difference between them...so if Peter is 6'7..........do the maths!!! she's more like 5'6.5?!
Thing is...I think she is 5'9, or close to it.
Doug said on 30/Jun/09
All I know is that Crouch dwarfs Abbie and proportionally looks the way I (6'2") look next to a 5'2" chick. About a foot taller. But Abbie is tall 5'9!!! 6'8/6'9 looks very possible. I must say I'm more impressed with his height now having seen him barefoot. Remember also the 6'5" presenter said "Crouch towered above him". Look at 6'5" on a height chart, not much difference between 6'5" and 6'7". He must be taller surely but is embarrased to claim higher?
Doug said on 30/Jun/09
I tell a lie. The tallest person I've seen barefoot is that 7'2" basketball player in that Bruce Lee film. Crouch doesn't look too far off, looks very much like a 6'9" basketball player himself.
Doug said on 30/Jun/09
Amazing. Parker check out the recent holiday pics in Sardinia at dailymail uk. That is the tallest I've ever seen anybody in shorts and barefoot. He is ridiculously tall, Parker check out Crouch barefoot he is a legot 6'8"-6'9" I swear!! His legs are like stilts!!!
Parker said on 28/Jun/09
Well James S (6'10) below said when he met him he seemed just under his height, James S estimated him at 6'8 - Don't forget Crouch usually wears footwear that gives him mm's. From the pictures with his girlfriend I really wouldn't be suprised if he was 6'8/6'9. He towers 6'4 inch Sylvan Distin.
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
The scary thing is that I'm at least 5 inches shorter than Crouch and weigh 30 pounds more! He only weighs 13 stone 3!!
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
No, Clancy is def in the 5'9" range I saw her on Jonathan Ross and she's really tall, definately 6' in heels compared to Ross (as she claims). When you think she is just about 5'11" or 6' in heels, really tall for a woman and how she looks so petite next to Crouch it shows you how enormous he really is.
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
All I can think is maybe Clancy is not a legit 5'9" barefoot and more 5'7"-5'8". If she was actually 5'7" - 5'8" barefoot Crouch would still be 6'7" or 6'8". All I know is that she is about 6 foot in heels as proved on Jonathan Ross so she must be around 5'8" minimum.
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
Crouchy is looking really good of late. Nice shorts and aviators. Agree Parker he looks more 6'9" I also see about a foot difference. Man this guy IS SO TALLLLL!

I agree Lmeister - If he is 6'7, he's a very strong 6'7 and probably closer to 6'8. He towers 6'3/6'4 guys. I've seen pics of him with his 5'9 girlfriend like this one
Click HereShe must be 5'11 in those boots but he looks a full head taller in what are virtually 'barefoot' shoes.
Lmeister said on 18/Jun/09
He is a really tall man, but he has said that he used to downgrade his height and claimed 6ft6 before. I think he is a strong 6ft7. He is clearly taller than any of the 6ft5 goalkeepers.
J.J. said on 18/Jun/09
he is the truth a real 6'7" all these people are fudging their heights so when they meet a r true 6'7" they feel much shorter & try to say he must be more than that with the notion that 6'7" is just not huge enough. Well people a true 6'7" is HUGE am afraid. Please don't add a cm to his height cos it won't work people should rather know their real heights so that they begin to realize how BIG 6'7" is.
James said on 22/May/09
James S go to the NBA. Then you will see somebody taller than you :)
James S said on 20/May/09
yea, to be honest he said to me "Wow you must be 7ft arent you?, your huge" but he had probably had a few drinks before so who knows, Im pretty sure if I saw someone as tall as me let alone 3 inches taller than me, I'd be shocked.

I saw Peter in a night club last week, he seemed just under my height but I think I had a footwear advantage on him, he told me he was 6ft 7 and im a shade over 6ft 10 so I think he may actually be 6ft 8 because he didnt look 3.5 inches shorter than me
yoyo said on 17/Apr/09
he grow a little at early 20s. he use to be 6ft6 when he 1st enter soccer career and now 6ft7 ~ 6ft7.75(possible). Any1 who think his under 200cm mark is def nuts..
theenforcer22 said on 23/Mar/09
It's pretty well documented that Crouch is 6 ft 7.
Doug said on 4/Mar/09
Aside from the two 204 cm players I mentioned below there is also a Norwegian striker who is 6'8" and a few more Serbian/Croatian players who are in the 6'7-6'8" range. Jan Koller the Czech striker is 202cm 6'7.5" I believe but probably at least 50 pounds heavier than Crouch.
Doug said on 4/Mar/09
Yes I agree I wouldn't rule out 202-203 cm for Crouch. Most seme to agree he even looks taller than 6'7". He towers above even big 6'3"-6'4" defenders. Even that 6'5" presenter said "Crouch towered him". If he was "only" 6'7 then he wouldn't have "towered" him. Crouch looks 6'8"-6'9" regularly which he probably is in a good pair of shoes so 6'7" barefoot is his very lowest for sure.
Doug said on 4/Mar/09
Guy. No there is a Chinese footballer who spent some time at Bolton and a Serbian goalkeeper who are 6 ft 8 and a half (204cm). Personally I think Crouch is nearer 6'8" himself. Incidentally this Chinese player was dubbed "The Chinese Peter Crouch". He towered even Sam Allydyce who is a big 6'3" himself.
Guy said on 13/Feb/09

Doug said on 2/Feb/09
I agree. But I think he is a strong 6'7" barefoot which is absolutely ginormously tall. Check it out when standing barefoot it is very very unusual to have limbs that long. Quite outrageous. Must feel very strange to be in a body that tall and thin, Anything over a genuine 6'4" barefoot is in my view exceptionally tall. If he is a strong 6'7" barefoot then i can see how he frequently looks 6'8" on the pitch in his studs or even 6'9" to some in shoes.
Scott said on 15/Dec/08
Watched the Portsmouth vs Newcastle game last weekend live and Crouch came out of the tunnel next to Sylvain Distin ... who looked pretty small next to him - yet I'd always thought him pretty big.
I then googled Distin's stats and he's listed as 6'4!!!
He looked 6 inches shorter than him.
Something is off here.
Parker said on 10/Dec/08
Peter's girlfriend is 5'9. In these shoes she must be close to 6' - but looks over a foot shorter than Peter in shoes that must be giving him virtually barefoot height.
Click HereHe's taller than 6'7 in my opinion.
Vibram said on 25/Nov/08
Funny, the default height of Crouch in one of my PS2 soccer computer games (2006) was 204cm, which is a fag paper over 6ft8. He does look about 14" taller than 5ft6.5 strike partner Jermaine Defoe.
Others that are wrong:
Gary Neville: 5ft11/180cm - more like a weak 5ft10 / 177.5cm, if that.
Florent Malouda 183 / 6ft! according to sources - more like 5ft9.25 / 176cm.
Rooney: 5ft9.25 / 176cm, not 5ft10 / 178cm.
adam said on 18/Nov/08
He truely is beanpole skinny, my god! 6-7 (at least!) and he weighs what, 175lbs??? Im 6-2 and 200 and honestly some people think Im quite slender. If you were 6-7 you should weigh easily 220lbs and still look slender.
TBag said on 1/Oct/08
yeah i would put him in the 6'8 or 6'9 category. There is no doubt him being so skinny makes him look longer and more out of proportion but whenever he stands next to someone in the 6'4/6'5 category he looks a good 4/5 inches taller watch the next time pompey play he dwarfs even the likes of kanu, james and distin. He doesn;t carry himself well either always slouching which i think makes him look worse. I think he probably purposefully downplays his height in interviews which is why people only say 6'7 due to the amount of stick he got about it. its a shame coz being tall is an asset and he should be proud of his height, he seems a really nice guy anyway and he has a fit girlfriend, my god
Scott said on 14/Sep/08
I have long harboured suspicions that the lanky England hit man is downgrading himself.
I have read interviews where he complains that his height is always the first thing anyone mentions in any newspaper article. And you get the feeling throughout his life too.
He also used to have to endure opposition crowds shouting 'Freeeeaaak' every time he touched the ball. Understandably in his early career this upset the giant Portsmouth forward a great deal. It's happening less now he is an established international and Champions League stiker.
However, in that context when asked by journalists 'how tall are you?' I think we could all forgive the beanpole stiker for knocking an inch or so off his true height to try and quell the journalists preoccupation with his stature.
However, I feel saying 6'7 when perhaps it should be 6'8+ is just a drop in the height ocean though really ;)
I feel 6'7 is not the reality when you see the former Liverpool forward just regularly owns tall footballers like Sammi Hypia, Rio Ferdinand and those Trinidad and Tobago players mentioned below. Although listed as the same height as him but looking markedly 'smaller'.
Here he is with David Beckham:
Click HereHe certainly looks more than 7.5 inches taller than the England and LA Galaxy free kick specialist.
Here he is with Cristiano Ronaldo a legit 6'1 - 6'2
Click HereAgain Crouch looking considerably taller than the winking Portugeuse winger.
And finally:
Click Here I think he just about has Shaun Wright Phillips by a hair here;)
King said on 29/Aug/08
Yes, Crouch looks 6'7" but I hasitate if Koller is 6'7 1/2". Koller is 6'5 1/2" in my opinion because he didn't looks very tall in the Soccer matches.
Daii said on 20/Aug/08
hes so lanky its hard to say, close to this height if not slightly taller, i would say 6'8
Caleb said on 14/Aug/08
On Britain's Next Top Model, and in the final episode, Abbey Clancy states her height as 5 foot and 8 and a half inches. You have to be at least 5' 7" to get on the show, so she probably is about this height, and she didn't look like she was the shortest girl on the show. 6'7" is about right for him I would say, based on this comparison.
Parker said on 7/Jul/08
His girlfriend Abby Clancy has stated in numerous interviews she is 5'9. Either she is inflating her height, or Peter is downgrading his. Numerous photographs of them together, more in yesterdays Sunday papers, shows the top of her head below his shoulder line.
Simon said on 3/Apr/08
6'7 is my height. Its odd seeing people like Crouch, who because of his job, is obviously very fit but looks painfully thin, which I am sure makes him look taller. I weigh around about 280 lbs, and I go to gym so I am kind of big, Crouch must be 200 or less. I understand a lot of people in the media spotlight add an inch or 2 onto their heights, probably not intentionally, but it just happens. The other thing I find is that if I see someone taller than me and I am standing near them, I have to straighten up a bit - I dont like it!
Robbie H said on 28/Feb/08

GM Fan said on 16/Sep/07
I know a few people over 6'7 and crouch looks exactly like them. I'm myself abit over 6'9 so I know this better then you shorties. Besides the reason he looks big is because of the smart camera work and the angles that are shot from, plus he's a running football player and that's disgusting to see his skinny body. I remember the game last year when Sweden and England met eachother and Andreas Isaksson (199 cm) whos my favourite and I've actually met him, standing almost close to Peter Crouch and they looked about the same height.

I've only seen Crouch on TV, but the guy definitely stands out; in the usual far-side shot of a football field, all the other players look about the same height, but you can easily recognize Crouch (maybe it's his long legs, lol).
How tall is Beckham? Because in the photo psted below by Vegas, Crouch looks to be a head taller (or almost) than Beckham; he literally dwarfs him. A head is what, 9'' ? Maybe more in Crouch's case?
If David is only 5'11, that would put Crouch in the 6'8'' range, or something very close.
Crouch is at least 6'7'', anyone stating anything below and we will go to war.
6'8''? A possibility.

There is a photograph in the morning papers of Crouch with his girlfriend, You can't see their feet but the top of her head just about reaches Crouch's shoulder. In other words looks about a foot taller. She has claimed in interviews she is 5'9. I think Peter Crouch is more like 6'8/6'9 and not 6'7.

Vegas: Dennis Lawrence did make the papers, if you look him up there's several BBC articles that talk about his life andhow he was treated upon scoring the qualifying goal to get trinidad into the world cup as well as how he was in the army in Trinidad and eventually came into football, and they mention how he got the nickname 'tallman' for being 6'7 barefeet. most americans have no idea who crouch is either actually, even with all the robocrouch dancing, people don't watch the game at all here. i reckon that will change soon as beckham gets to LA
Vegas said on 14/Mar/07
I have a few friends in swansea and cardiff and i will ask them to check out this lawrence guy. I doubt anyone in the states knows Crouch, i remember when kevin francis played in the 2nd and 3rd division everyone and i mean everyone knew he was 6'7, ditto Crouch when he wasn't playing at the top level.
I honestly never heard of dennis lawrence before last summers world cup but as you say he could be 6'7 too, but if he was taller than crouch it would be in the papers no doubt
Anonymous said on 13/Mar/07
vegas, dennis lawrence plays for swansea city FC in wales, he is the full legit 6'7 for shure, i have seen many photos of him towering people on and off the pitch.why would he be in the papers for being really tall? crouch is only in the papers because he's actually got a bit of celeb factor with his dancing, i'm sure that's the main reason most of america even knows who the guy is to begin with.

but he NEVER gets listed below 6', strange isnt it?
and im not even saying Koller is much taller than Crouch, theyre probably on about the same height, but Koller is surely not smaller, he is huge
Vegas said on 21/Feb/07
And Paul Parker ex Man Utd for example was listed at 5'7 when he is nowhere close probably nearer 5'5 (we have pics with this guy to prove it). Crouch was listed at 6'8 too while playing for either QPR or Aston Villa i am not sure; so Koller is not taller and Baros is not taller than 5'11, i don't care what the listing says, and 3 of my friends can vouch for this.
Austrian said on 19/Feb/07
btw i just saw at the Olympique Lyon site Baros is even listed as 184cm
which, if Beckham is 5'11, would make him almost 2 inches taller
Austrian said on 19/Feb/07
actually Baros is exactly 6' (183cm)
while Beckham is 180cm, which means Baros is more than 1 inch taller
and Koller IS taller than Crouch
besides i dont know Kalac well, but as far as i know he is 202cm
and the reason he doesnt play for Australia is not that he retired, but Schwarzer is simply better
hi8 said on 18/Feb/07
i think he is at least 203cm if stood up straight. i met him a couple of years ago and e towerd over my 6"4 m8 by at least 4inchs

You said that they add height to goalkeepers, I ahev meet Maik Taylor of Birmingham City who is listed as 6'4" and I have meet him and he is easily that tall.
Vegas said on 17/Feb/07
yes and peter schmeichel (ex Man Utd) was listed at 6'4 and Shaka Hislop (ex West Ham and Trinidad) was listed at 6'6 but Crouch dwarfed both of them guys. Koller is listed at 6'8 but there is no way he is taller than Crouch. I have met Milan Baros (ex Liverpool) who plays alongside Koller for Czech Republic and he is about 5'11 and Koller isn't 9" taller than him
Click Here but yet Crouch is easily 8" taller than Baros comparing Crouch with 5'11-6ft David Beckham
Click Here
jason i rememeber that Kalac guy you mention, he played in England for a while, nowhere near his 202cm listing by the way, 6'5 is what i would give him, goalkeepers are nearly always listed much taller than their actual height
The guy you are talking about Big Show is Dennis Lawerence from Trinidad which the World Cup site lists at 201cm, 3cm more than they list Crouch. Problem is that guy plays in England too and if he were really 3cm taller than Crouch I think his name would be all over the newspapers
Austrian said on 16/Feb/07
Vegas, just look at Jan Koller (former Borussia Dortmund, now AS Monaco - and Czech national player)
hes like 203 cm or more, i think he was also listed in the guiness book as tallest professional football player once or so (and still hes the best striker in Czechia)
Austria has some pretty tall strikers as well like former Bayern Munich player Maierhofer (202cm) or Janko (196cm) of RedBull Salzburg
...or a young defender named Pƶllhuber whos 199cm tall
and btw Crouch is 201cm to be exact, and in contrary to him, Maierhofer and especially Koller are also massive guys, not like Crouch who looks like a spaghetti lol

I'm pretty sure Crouch was taller than everyone in that Trinidad team. Would've been quite a sight if there was anyone the same size as him let alone taller.

Zeljko Kalac (goalie for Socceroos until he retired from international last year, plays for A.C Milan?) was listed as 202cm. Think I've also seen an obsure 200 listing, so he may have been that. But nothing under 200cm - dude is IMMENSELY tall. That huge Czech striker is also listed from 200-202cm. There was also a 3rd player (can't remember who) who was listed as 202cm in last year's World Cup. Maybe ~ 200cm is the absolute cut off height for football & after that you're just too unco. :O

i have yet to see anybody in soccer taller than Crouch, obviously there has been though. and big show please provide proof that that Nigerian guy was taller because I kept hearing he was as tall during the match but he actually looked shorter whenever the two of them were together

There was this BBC radio presenter who said he's 6'5 and that he interviewed crouch recently. He said crouch towered over him and must be more than the the 6'7 they list him as.

he's 6-7.75 tall, really thin tall guy. the poster below who said he's only 6-5 is on crack. he was standing next to that italina player whos 6-5 once and was easily above 2 inches taller than he was, he's more like 6-8

I don't think he's shorter than 6'7 - On every England photo he towers over everyone by at least half a head- in fact his posture is quite poor, so wouldn't be suprised if he made 6'8 with military posture.

He looks the full 6'7'' to my eyes. Incredibly skinny guy.

During the World Cup tournament they said he was 6'5.5 (197 cm) and 152 lbs (69 kilo's). I don't think he's taller, because in the match against Trinidad & Tobago, Crouch' direct defender was 6'7 and he was taller than Crouch.

Extremely tall. How tall are his relations?

He's 198, 6'7 but he's extra skinny so he looks like 7'0

seen picture of liverpool squad after fa cup final, crouch standing beside sami hypia who is always listed as 6' 4 by commentaters. Crouch had at least three inches on him

There was this interview on an english newspaper where Crouch said " being 6 ft 6 you can't really duck" or something like that. I don't remember the exact words but basically he just said that he was 6 ft 6.
Editor Rob
maybe he's downgrading himself...I remember footage of this guy beside liverpool players at an airport and he really towered over all the 6ft guys in that team!

Crouch is only 198cm, not 201
It's down on all the football stat websites, he looks taller because he is only 75kg

Really is this tall. Went to school with him, the lanky git.
