Christopher Lister
From the London Metro
He makes Peter Crouch look like a midget and is nicknamed Stretch – but Christopher Lister is still growing.
The towering 18-year-old measures an astonishing 7ft 3in (2.21m) and is thought to be Britain’s tallest teenager.
The beanpole student, from Leeds, cannot even fit through his front door without bending down. His loftiness has cost his parents about £22,000 after they were forced to refurbish the family home to accommodate his enormous frame.
The work included fitting a walk-in shower, extending doors to the ceiling and buying an extra-long bed for him. Christopher, who is only 3in (8cm) shorter than the country’s tallest man, said: ‘I get swamped by people when I go out asking me about my height.’
He wears size 18 shoes, was 4ft (1.21m) tall when he first started school aged four and was as tall as 6ft 7in (2m) Liverpool goal-getter Crouch two years ago.
He also has a nightmare trying to fit into clothes and cars.
The teenager added: ‘When I fill in forms and they ask for any details of disabilities I just write down “Extra tall”.’
damn he’s tall
god.. hes tall
got big feet aswell ;o
That must suck!! I’m 17 and 6ft 3in! Every one mocks me because I’m a girl and taller than the boys! : ( ! I don’t have it as bad as Christopher Lister though! I think it’s cool that he is so tall but the money side is a bit scary!
If Christopher needs any size 18 or 19’s sneakers i have plenty LJ.
i wonder if its all in proportion
isnt it true that big feet – big ..? if it is :p he must be very popular with the ladies
i sure wudnt mind meeting him
this is a better picture of him

Chris is just a guy why cant PEOPLE just accept some of us just look different. If you are having a bad hair day ..you go out thinking everyone is looking at you or your clothes ! well chris has this everyday no matter how he looks!
Good luck to you chris no matter what you do in life ..
BE PROUD CHRIS HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH , YOU ARE UNIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I felt so sorry for him being hassled to the point of irritation when people kept gawking at him and asking the same old boring questions about his height. He is just a tall lad and that’s it. I don’t know he feels about still growing taller but however tall he gets in the end I wish him well.
Chris is such a wonderful guy i met him whilst i was on holiday in Scarborough we lost contact tho. He’s the most down 2 earth guy i know n a true legend. If u read this chris get in touch with me through here.
xx xx xx
gosh…this boy was too tall…. horribly skinny..don’t think he weight over 90kg…
I think he’s gorgeous! I watched Britain’s Tallest Teens.
I think hes really damn hot!!! I wonder if being tall means he has a big ….and he has big feet. oo
Good luck to Chris Lister – on the program about Tallest teens he was very pleasat and friendly and amzingly patient and composed when hassled by all those midget muppets asking the same tired all queastions and making comments about height and all that sort of rubbish. I know many tall guys and all of them are nice guys. I know many short guys and they can be so different – short guys with a complex – short guy syndrome – can be most uinpleasant. Chris Lister is a reall nice bloke in every way. Good luck to him.
swedish girls found him C.U.T.E too!
if i were him i would have a shirt made for me which had my height
or maybe i would just have “dont ask”
Message to Chris.
Seen you on a TV programme long time ago and just watched it again on ITV2 (11/12/07)
So happy for you buddy and I wish I could be your email friend. Well done mate.
I also think that your Mum is ace.

He’s cute!
I know this guy he isn’t an angel as everyone makes out…
he’s a typical chav, used to make my life a hell in highschool, and he is known well around Armley for mugging people and joy riding, oh and not to mention stealing and wrecking vans with tv’s in!
Seems you were right Sev:

whoever you lot are leaving stupid comments like that get a life ok!!! hes my chapo he is actually decent lad so get it right
‘He also has a nightmare trying to fit into clothes and cars.’
Didn’t stop him knicking ‘em though, did it…
well thats not very nice isit! you lot are lovely! hahaaha
I’ve known Chris since we were both about 14 years old and ive seen him grow taller and taller and each time we met he was a lot taller than before but he just joked he wasnt growing it was me who was shrinking. He said that all the time.
Damn! Im 19 and 6.11 and i think that sucks. I really feel sorry for him
Yeah Rob, but are you a thieving, raping and mugging scum-bucket?
Maisie smokes dope all the time so probably thinks Chris is lovely cos she’s stoned. Chris is a thief and that’s been proved by his prison sentence
Yep, there’s also someone to defend a knobhead. At the end of the day, decent people don’t mug, steal and joyride, or go to prison.
THE THICKNESS OF HIS NECK
Has to bend down to go through doors. mmm… Can i inspect your milk dud?
Burgling and raping? Un figlio di puttana. Vaffanculo a Lei, la sua moglie, e’ la sua madre. Lei e’ un cafone stronzo. Io non mangio in questo merdaio! Vada via in culo!

i cant believe whats gettin wrote on here .. have you lot actually got a life.. it is sick and disgusting whats gettin said on here and at any point did anyone say he raped people…. u ought to be ashamed of your selfs coz making that up about some one is unfair.. there is enough sickos in this world to be hasseling without making up rumours about someone who yeah isnt perfect but does not deserve this shit!!
Chris is a down 2 earth bloke n loved by many, ppl really need 2 get there facts rite n stop chatting shit. Chris a really gud mate of mine and i have known him for years. yeh he has been 2 prison for crimes but defo not rape, he’s not a sick pedo, he just loves 2 drive other peoples car’s. Grow up and act ur fucking ages u sad pethetic bastard. to all of you that have put good comments and that know are chris thanks 4 the kindness and thoughts, take care.lv ya mate xxxxx
It must be difficult being so tall and it must be even worse having people calling you a rapist, however, there are millions of people in this world who have obstacles to overcome so it does not give you the god given right to steal belongings that us decent folk have worked so hard for. Get off your arse and get a job like everyone else you theiving, workshy excuse for a man!

Summa Lea- did you not go to school? You’re grasp of the English language is truelly something! I’m sure it is very cool seeing your friends being arrested or being arrested yourself but do you not realise the effect crime has on people, have you ever been burgled, robbed, had your car stolen or broken into? I doubt it very much because once it happens to you, you will realise how upsetting it is! Stop defending this toerag he’s a thieving $hit who needs to work like everyone else! Good luck with achieving your ASBO you silly child!
go on matty i agree he is a woman beating thieiving piece ov dirt
I agree with Matty. Why are people defending him for stealing other peoples property. Wait until they find out someone has stolen something of theirs. Or find out that someone has been in their home while they and their kids were asleep. Not a nice feeling. Lots of us work hard for what we have and don’t deserve to have it stolen, or the upset of knowing our property has been spoiled by scum
