Jeff Stelling, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, is an English sports journalist and television presenter whose average height belies his towering presence on screen.
Known for hosting Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday for over two decades until 2022, Stelling's energetic delivery makes him appear larger-than-life, with fans often surprised to find him shorter than he looks on TV. His self-deprecating humor about his 5ft 7 stature shines through, as he jokes about being a 'sex symbol to the blind and over-65s' and insists the extra three-quarters inch matters, proudly noting he's taller than colleague Tony Cottee.
Stelling also presented Countdown on Channel 4, cementing his status in sports broadcasting while embracing his height as part of his relatable, everyman charm.
