Don't know about Goffey but I have it on good authority that William Woolard played an Ewok in 'Return of the Jedi'. Obviously some camera trickery took place at Top Gear in the old days, maybe still does; I saw Richard Hammond the other day, towered over me and I'm 6' 4''.
For the truthful answer to this question and all others throughout history read William Woollard’s autobiography “the Reluctant Buddhist” a shocking expose on the behind the scenes debauchery that took place in the Top Gear offices during the late Pebble Mill era. The anecdote about Christo’ challenging Willo’ to a swimming race across the river Seine after a rowdy press launch with a Renault 5 turbo chained to his leg is dubious but tragically may well have affected his previously estimated height? http://www.thereluctantbuddhist.com/
Hope this is useful?

I think “Bill the Buddhist” would have been a catchier title.
Back on track the word on the street is that Chris had to go as Jeremy was intimidated by his stance. And also his moustache. And his beard. And tank top collection.
Bro.
Look, Clarkson may have larged it up at showbizz parties by offering his chums some 'top gear' but Chris would never have stooped so low which in fact makes him the bigger man.

Any use?

Apparently Chris is 27 in Alpaca years. Does this help at all?
No, it does however reassure us that he's less dangerous than a llama. 
Do his miniature alpacas eat Supergrass?
We're going about this the wrong way.
Simply imagine Michelle Newman placing an MGB hub on top of Goffey's head. Knowing it has a PCD of 4 1/2", it's easy to work out the difference in height between him and Steve Berry, so the real question is "Does anybody know how tall Steve Berry is?"
I had my chance to determine that when I spotted Steve with his family taking in the sights of London's South Bank around Tower Bridge 15 years ago. As a fellow non-Southerner I seemed to be the only person who recognized him. Nodding to him as I passed in a "Hello Steve. I recognize you, but I'm not going to make a big thing about it" sort of way, he clearly envisaged a re-enactment of the final scene of 'Invasion of the BodySnatchers'. He quickly averted my look and beetled off before I could press him against the nearest height chart. Sad to say I missed my chance.

I once saw Chris Goffey near Bicester. He was standing talking to a group of car enthusiasts. He was neither the tallest, nor the shortest of the group. He produced a Talbot Samba Diesel from his beard, claimed that he had to "crack on" with a road test for Motoring Miser monthly and drove off at low speed.
