Who is the tallest player on the circuit?

hello

i still think matthew stevens is quite tall because he is taller than ronnie o sullivan and stephen hendry.

Some of the Shoot-out pics Monique has posted show players more or less in line - good for such comparisons.

I'm not sure if he's still a professional player, as I've been away from the game for years, but the tallest player I ever played against on the snooker circuit was a very nice guy called Nick Fruin from Liverpool.

I'm guessing Nick must have been close to 6ft 7 if not taller, and infact he was so tall, that his stance looked like a giraffe with bandy knees, but one of the best players around at the time, and was winning most of the pro-ams about 95-96. I think he became in the top 100 but lost touch so not sure.

hi

mark williams looks like he is between 6'2-6'3 although its possible he could be as low as 6'1. he's clearly taller than stephen hendry matthew stevens and ronnie o sullivan.

Ricky Waldon looks quite tall, has a strange stance aswell, anyone know his actual height?

I believe the player reputed to be the tallest professional was the Aussie John Campbell who was over here in the 1980's. I think he was about 6' 6".

Nice to see this thread still going strong. Welcome back steven, maybe you can answer the question about Ricky Walden? :wink:

[steven]

ricky walden is listed as 6'4.

[steven]

so ricky walden must be the tallest snooker player on the professional circuit at the moment.

so ricky walden must be the tallest snooker player on the professional circuit at the moment.

His stance is unusual, be interested to know whether he finds it hard to get flat on the table if he keeps line of aim leg straight?

The current tallest and shortest players on the main circuit played each other in the wildcard round at the 2008 Shanghai masters with 'Stamina Man' Ricky Walden winning by 5-0 and 13 inches over 'Mighty Mouse' Zhang Anda.
