English Soccer player. He has been quoted saying "At 6ft 7ins it's not always easy to squeeze into sports cars or supercars" and "I'm 6ft 7in, so I have a massive bed. It's so enormous all the kids end up piling in"

I am six foot seven - probably am a bit more but six foot seven just sounds a bit more normal. I get asked that on a daily basis two or three times a day. I become used to it: it's not annoying anymore, it's just part of my day. The genuine question will be 'how tall are you?', I'll go 'six-foot seven' and then they'll say a joke, usually along the lines of 'you should play basketball' or 'ooo, that's tall!', as if I didn't know. Especially when I went to America - quite a few times I've been - and I get asked that all the time: 'you play ball?' - no. Joe.co.uk
