Paul Sturgess height - How tall is Paul Sturgess?

Sturgess wears a size 19 shoe. He is the tallest man in Britain after Neil Fingleton, who was 7 ft 7.5 in (2.32 m) tall, unexpectedly died on 25 February 2017. Examinations as a teenager revealed that his growth is healthy and not the result of disorder, but rather he possesses familial tall stature—that is to say his height is genetic. His biological father is 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m), and there are other tall members in his family although his mother is 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) and his younger sister is 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m). He featured prominently in the 2007 ITV1 television documentary Supersize Kids: Britain's Tallest Teens when he was 19 and playing at Florida Institute of Technology.

On 19 November 2014 he was signed by Cheshire Phoenix of the British Basketball League.

On 1 November 2013, Sturgess was selected by the Springfield Armor in the third round of the 2013 NBA Development League Draft. On 4 November 2013, he was traded to the Texas Legends where he played for the rest of the season.
