Not over 5’11”. He always reminds me of a young Winston Churchill.

Murphy has a video with Stephen Hendry on Hendrys Youtube channel and near the start he says he's 6ft1 there aswell so from his own mouth.
I would have guessee him strong 5'11" range like he is listed on here.

Grace is about Ricky Walden's height and he has said he is 6'4''. I'm not sure who is taller out of the two. I think Grace looks a bit taller, maybe by 2 or 3cm. Walden has bad posture and walks around like the hunchback.

Yeah, Murphy seems to me, of being a 181cm fellow.
David Grace is maybe the tallest snooker player, from the "known" ones.
The guy must be very close to the 2 meters, somewhat similar to the referee, Jan Verhaas.

6'1'' claim is ludicrous. Despite the relatively large forehead, I think he is indeed 5'11'' or just over.

Wow. This guy always clamied 6ft1 and even 6ft2, and to be honest I believed it. This guy Murphy is a mid 5'11 range i think, like 181cm. This would put Mark Allen at 5ft8.5 (not 5ft10) and judd trump at 5ft10.5.

Is Big Dale really 6'2 ? Because he should look taller in this photo considering the fact that Shaun Murphy has an extra long eyelevel for his height

Editor RobI've not measured him, but he looks nearer 6ft 2 than 1 when standing tall.

His low eye level doesn't help his crazy claim either. He looks 5'10" range because of that but 5'11" seems fine.

I have some friends who inflate height, but at least none of them try to inflate others or make excuses. I would say about half of all my friends claim honestly and the other half don't. Some of the honest ones are 5'8", 6'2.5" and 6'1". Some of the dishonest ones are 5'11.5" (claims 6'1"), 5'9" (claims 5'10"-5'11"), and 6'2" (claims 6'3").

@Christian: I’d say if they inflate others then the “no respect” can be thrown in like Rampage said. I actually don’t really hang out with or associate with many people who even lie about their height to be honest. But especially not those who lie and inflate others. Terrible combination lol!

@Rampage
"No respect" might be a bit harsh. Someone inflating their height doesn't necessarily reflect their overall character. Some of the nicest and most genuine people I've met inflate their height. I have some friends who do it but I still respect them.

No way 5'10 he's more like 5'11.Keep in mind his eyelevel is very low (a good 5-5.1) while the lower part of his face is quite small (4.4-4.5"max) especially from bottom of nose to mouth.Would have been better if his nose and eyes were 1cm higher in his face,but well,that doesn't make him less of a gentleman.

i don't know how you could see 6 0. especially because mark selby claims 6 0 and looks it, and this guy is clearly under him. i dont really know exact measurements but i think unless a guy is tilting their head down their eyes should be around big robs hair to be 6 0

Editor RobIn person, Murphy looks shorter than how 6 footers look up close.

Well his claim ties in with Ronnie's 6 foot claim :D Selby puts both to shame though claiming 6 foot also. I think there's a load of snooker players to add really, Dott, Allen, Fu, Ding, Wilson, Hawkins.

I'm seeing 6ft for this guy, I'm surprised he's as low as 5'11.25. He's looking at Rob's forehead and he's dropping height, I can see a case of 5'11.5 for this guy because he pulls off looking 6ft.

Legit 5'11 range guy- No lower than 180-181 range I doubt, the 176 listing is a joke just like Trump he is listed 175 they dont update players heights, most of them are just random guesses it seems they listed Ricky Walden down as 183 when he is likely 190- 193 lol

Editor Rob yes you will find people with eye-chin a little less than the eye-top measurement.
It is probably more common with women who have smaller jaws than men.

If footwear is equal this guy has 1-1.5cm on me. Good listing. The strong 5"11 for Murphy. Now watching the final and Ding is not the 176cm he is listed at. Definitely a flat 5"8 with the 6"0 Selby.

hi rob are you sure that Ronnie o Sullivan is 5'10 because he looks more like 5'9.5 when he is standing next to you.

Definitely no more than 180cm for Murphy. I think his hair in the picture makes him look taller than he really is. When Murphy and Robertson (listed at 184cm here, which I can buy) shook hands at this year's Masters Final, the delta between them looked at least 4cm.

I doubt Trump is shorter than Murphy, He is probably closer to 6'0, Saying he is under 5'11 is pushing it, I have heard 5'10 for Trump no way he is for sure taller than Ronnie O'Sullivan, but similar to Robertson his skinny frame makes him look taller and hair etc, But I would say around 5'11.5 for Trump at a guess.

Glad he is on here, I gussed him 5'11 so got that right- Looks solid 5'11- 181cm good height.
Rob, Any Idea on Judd Trump and Ding Junhui?, not too sure on Ding, I feel Judd might be same as Murphy or tad taller maybe 5'11.5 for Trump is possible?

Thanks for the detailed answer,Rob.Number 16 is also interesting,this means that from lowest point of the nose to top of head there is only 15,9cm in average.
The thing is that will be correct only if the person's head is perfectly straight not tilted up or down,even slightly
Just consider this example,Rob:one of my friends reaches exactly the lowest point of my nose,trust me he's no more than 158,no way 160 I'm absolutely sure.
On the same path I know a guy whose head is probably 10" (so the bottom of his nose is like 6.6 or 6.7 if that makes sense),I don't think he's a flat 6'4 more likely 6'4.5 or even 6'4.75.
So when the person is taller we should always think that the head has real chances to be tilted down maybe even unconsciously,hence the head measurements are superior to reality for eyelevels,nose,etc...

Trump for me doesn't look much taller than Sullivan,no more than 5'11.
Robertson I would have thought is a good 187,taller than solid 6'Selby,close to 6'2 in my opinion.
@Chris
Murphy's head still looks quite big even for a 181.
Rob's head is 24,4cm (9.6")and definitely Murphy's head is at least that height if not slightly bigger.Well maybe 24,5 is more likely?

I would have guessed Robertson in the 6ft1 range at least, Looks at worst 185cm maybe 186cm he is easily at least and Inch taller than Selby who looks 6'0 on here, I guessed Murphy in 5'11 range, I think Trump is 6'0 like Selby he looks more than 5'11

No way is his head 25 cm. Looks around 24 cm i think. But he does have a weird head with his squished looking face that leaves room for a bigger forehead
