6ft2 is pushing it but I'd be more inclined to believe he has a greater chance of a bit over 6ft1 than under...peak anyway

Honest fella. Seems to have never once claimed even 6'2 despite clearing 6'1 by a smidge.

Editor RobAfter realising what sneakers I had on this day, Davis had a decent fraction more so makes sense to me his claim as he could look over 6ft 1.

In the pics I think he's capable of stretching up to a full 6'1 or at the very least a legit 6'0.5 before bed. I'd actually say 6'0.75- full 6'1 is much more likely than any less though.
On the second pic he's slanting head down a bit and his eyes are still pretty close to the top of Rob's head which is 5'8.25 That's easily approaching 6'1 territory because as a 6'1.75 bedtime guy I can tell you I don't have to tilt my head down much to be at the 5'8 mark.

At peak he had a better chance of a bit over the 6ft1 mark rather than under.
186cm peak (w/h 188cm out of bed) and now 184-185cm zone

185.5-6 peak, 185 today at nearly 64. Could pull off a 6ft2 appearance at a glance in his younger days but thats probably because A, he was slim, B, many of his opponents were average height and C, a solid 6ft1 guy like Steve will look tall.

RIP Willie Thorne, younger than my mother who turned 68 yesterday! Always seemed a larger than life character. Looked a bit shorter than Steve, I would guess 6 ft even a smidge over peak. Thought he'd have a page as a legend.

A lot of those 80s snooker players seemed on the tall side. Wondered if it gave some kind of advantage with reach etc. Nowadays though I'm not sure most of them are that tall so probably coincidence that a lot of tall players came along in same era.

Editor Rob Davis is taller in person than selby, neil robertson and Ebdon. Peter in person, I stood talking with him and Carl Froch, Ebdon was taller than Carl (although had slightly more shoes than froch and me), but I can still see Peter a fraction taller than 6ft.

John Parrott is a tall man I believe . His estimate of Davis height might not be too far out. Maybe 6'3.

In the picture above he does look 6'0-0.25" but with bad posture.
His shoulder's height is higher than a six footer's one, so 6'1.5" is reliable.

Based on the picture, I would say 6'1"/185cm for "The Nugget". Dennis Taylor is 5'7" I think.
This means John Parrott is 6'0" as he is a fraction shorter than Davis.
