I've posted on this a couple of times before but never had it resolved - so here goes. I believe the FAQ height list is wrong: Barney and Hooky can't be 5'6. Johnny Marr is 5'8 and so is Noel Gallagher - stood together they are the same size. In any Electronic pic Barney is the same size as Johnny Marr. Barney and Hooky are more or less the same height. Conclusion: they are about 5'8. If anyone can conclusively refute this, I'll shut up, but if not, the FAQ should be changed

My ex-wife is 5ft7 and TOWERED over Hooky and Barney. Admittedly, in her heels. No way is Noel Gallagher 5ft8 either. He often drinks in a boozer near my work. His brother's possibly 5ft8 though.

I met Noel G at the Ally Pally, he was along with Bobby Gillespie, I'd say Noel was about the same height as masel, maybe a wee bit smaller.

I'm 5ft 7, so I'd say Hooky was 5ft 8 possibly 5ft 9.
This, I believe, is conclusive. If Shug is 5'7 (and why would he lie?) there's no way Hooky and Barney are 5'6. Height FAQs now need changing I think Nic...

Shug is actually only 5ft4.

It's just cos you're one tall fcuker you lose all sense of how normal we all are! Standing next to you, Muffy and Johan Scott, is like being in "The Land Of Giants" all of you must be at least 6ft fookin 4

All of whom were dwarfed in the Chandos by Dutch Jim, who is at least 28 feet tall. That photo of me, Johan, Muffy and Al with me looking the midget, and I'm 6'1" !!
Originally posted by Andrew But seriously... are we agreed that the FAQ heights need revising?
No, we're not! They may be 5'5" instead of 5'6" possibly. What does it matter though?

Er, if Shug is 5'7 and is smaller than Hooky and Johnny Marr is 5'8 and Barney is the same height as him in any Electronic stuff you care to look at then I don't see how they are 5'5 to be honest. If there is an FAQ on height, it's probably a decent idea to have the right answer...

Photos can be very deceiving. Shug isn't really 5'7" either! Neither Bernard or Hooky is very tall, that much is certain. Neither of them will be taller than 5'6" at the very most.

I can assure you I am 5ft 7, can you possibly tell me how I am not? You have a habit of confusing me sometimes

Shug, I take it you agree that the FAQ height thing is wrong and needs changing?
Certainly would Andrew son
You've made such a big deal about this - Nicos better take notice!
What a load of old fuss !!
However I am only 5-8 and always thought Hooky to be taller than me

Always the same with large people, pick on us "normal" sized people, where's Hibster, Mick and Garymacca when you need em?
:p
I'm only 5'5" and I'm afraid of meeting you lot. What kind of jokes are you going to make about me? Or is Shug the only target?

None probably, they'll all be about Julio. We will provide you with a stool though so you can hear them!

Being 6'3.5", I could probably do a joke... 
Ran into Hooky at the 1989 Santa Barbara show and would say he's about 5'7"...in boots. I'm 5'10".
Yes...it bloody does!! As I said, I was unsure which message body to post this in...I spose the 'size matters' IS the most appropriate! How bloody scary is this pic!! Can you smell the fear??!!! The trouble is a lot of my mates have said how similar we look!! anyway, I'm off now for a shave!
ENJOY-at my expense!! B.Girl x
