He’s 6ft 3 at best but when he plays against a physical so team looks 5ft 10 but it’s still a foul

Don't care about the foul or his performance but why are the club promoting him as a 6 foot 6 giant? He's 6 foot T best

Muric is also 6 ft 6 but looks taller and stronger than Trafford. However, with Burnley out of both cups, Muric will not play for Burnley again unless Trafford gets injured.

There's a squad photo online and he's slightly taller than Beyer but it has Beyer down as 6 ft 2 the same as Al Dakhil 😂

Traff had his best game tonight and couldn't stop the lump up front fouling him, the ref was as weak as pxxx .VAR was totally useless as usual .Robbed of points again 6th time this season

He’s skinny, but he’s tall. Don’t think he’s 6’6, but there was a photo of him lining up for the England U21s a while ago and he was the tallest player on it. He was taller than Harwood-Bellis who is about 6’2.

If I had to guess looking from the stands I’d say 5’11”.

I wouldn't have put Harwood-Bellis down as 6 ft 2 either to be honest, always thought he looked a small defender last year

Read the thread title and now have a Johnny Cash song stuck in my head ;)

"6 foot 6, he stood on the ground, he weighed 235 pounds. .."

Don't look at the top of the head, look at where the shoulders are. That's the main factor for high ball claiming ability. Trafford is comfortably the smallest of our keepers in that regard.

Also how do you copy an image from one post to another?

You’re right about the shoulders, but the post was about the overall height, which is to top of the head

Wait till VAR draws the line. He’ll be about seven foot then.

It's strange how unreliable the data on player heights is. For a long time many sources had Manuel Benson being the same height as Charlie Taylor.

I know, I wasn't disagreeing with the OP - I've always thought Trafford was smaller than muric by a distance but thought it worth a mention about that presence in the box.

Maybe he wears platform boots which stop him from jumping
