Note:
Shortest/Tallest posts are difficult to put together because there are often 5 different websites listing 5 different heights. A majority of the heights in this post are transfermarkt numbers.  I also double checked many of them at official league or club sites.


Example:
David Villalva 
1.55m River Plate Official Site
1.58m Transfermarkt
1.67m Soccerway
1.69m Eurorivals
1.75m Goal.com


As always, feel free to help out if I've missed anyone.

  1. I have a potential new addition for you: Danny Stevens, a winger for Torquay United is at most 5'2" (see link below). I've contacted the club to enquire after his official height (referencing this article), so will let you know if they clarify his official height.
