  • Who is the tallest player on the circuit?

    Does anyone know who the tallest, and indeed shortest, players are on the professional circuit?

    I think that the tallest snooker player is Mark Selby and the shortest is Graeme Dott. But I’m not sure.
    Do somebody know where can to look the height of snooker players?

        The tallest player I think was a player called Nick Terry he was well over 6ft tall and the shortest one I'd say would be Lee Walker of Wales.

            I dont know of anywhere that lists the players height, so its a bit of guess work and hearsay but i think it has been mentioned by the commentators that JP and the Nugget are both well over 6ft. Out of the former pros if i remember correctly i think there used to be an Australian player called John Campbell who was very tall, and Tony Knowles and Alain Robidoux were too.

            Antony Hamilton and Fergal both seem to look rather "vertically challenged" . Doherty didnt actually look that small when he was shown on TV talking to JP and Hazel after Potblack.

                  selby and robertson etc are not that tall just very slim - dave harold is very tall - stuart bingham is pretty tall aswell - mark williams is about 6'3" to be honest i have no idea who the tallest would be but most of them are about 6 foot.

                    Scott Mackenzie is about 6 '5' which would make the tallest i think. Having said that I haven't seen every player. Lee Walker is the shortest, I think he is about 5 '3'.

                      5'3" might well be the shortest.

                        Nick Terry is rather tall, as is six-time World champ, Ray Reardon.

                        W.J.Peall, a billiards player of the early 1900's stood at around five feet tall, was famous for the 'spot stroke', potting the red repeatedly of its spot.

                          I don´t think that Ali carter is very tall. I´ve never met him but it seems so on TV. Alan McManus once passed me by and he isn´t much taller than me (168 cm)

                            Alan McManus is about 5' 8" or so

                            Scott Mackenzie is only 6' 5" if he wears high heels!

                              Why aren't there stats on these things? The ATP site has details about all tennis players so why shouldn't snooker sites about snooker players?
