How tall was William Wallace?
366609
It is a well known FACT that William Wallace was only 5" 3" tall and weighed approximately 120 lbs.  He used optical illusion to make himself appear larger than actual.  \n\nFor upcoming battles Wallace would assemble two armies, one of men and one of children.  With opposing forces off in the distance, Wallace would ride his Shetland Pony back and forth in front of the children and "rally" them.  \n\nAs the opposing army approached, the children would run down the back of the hill and hide while the army of men ran forward (while screaming wildly) to be seen by the opponent.\n\nWallace's stunt double, Loopy O'Doul, a man-child of gargantuan proportions would take Wallace's place by riding up the hill on a great steed while wearing makeup to hide his face.\n\nWallace's fame as a great leader is obviously overrated.

Robert Pershing Wadlow\n1918-1940 \n\nCollege Avenue, across from\nthe Alton Museum of History and Art\n\nRobert Wadlow was a pituitary giant, someone who grows enormously due to an overactive pituitary gland. He was born in Alton, Illinois on February 22, 1918, a completely normal baby, 8 ½ pounds. However, by the time he was a year old he weighed twice normal, 44 pounds. By nine years he'd reached 6', 2", by sixteen he hit 7', 10", and weighed nearly 400 pounds. At the time of his death in 1940 he was 8', 11.1" tall and weighed 439 pounds making him the world’s tallest person in history, according to the Guinness Book of Records, surpassing the record previously held by an 8', 4" inch Irishman who died in 1877.\n\nTallest man - living\nXi Shun (China, b. 1951), measured 7 ft 8.95 in (2 m 36.1 cm) as a result of six measurements taken on January 15, 2005, at Chifeng City Hospital, Inner Mongolia, China.\n\nMeet the tallest woman alive:\n\nDe-Fen Yao from China who supposedly stands at 7'8 1/2" (2.35 m)

Robert Wadlow: World's Biggest Man\nAlton, Illinois \n\nBigness is its own reward. You want to be a success? Sell a bigger burger. Open a megastore or a multiplex. Merge your way into multinational conglomeratehood. \n\nSince size is the prize, it's only right that several towns bank on the man who towered head-and-shoulders above all others. His name was Robert Wadlow, and he stood 8' 11" tall -- the BIGGEST man who ever lived. \n\nRobert Pershing Wadlow was born in Alton in 1918, a normal-size baby, but soon his perky pituitary gland triggered abnormal growth. At the age of 13, already 7 ft. 4 in., he was proclaimed the world's biggest Boy Scout. And he kept getting bigger.... he eventually topped out at 8 ft. 11.1 inches. \n\nAt the Franklin Masonic Temple in Alton, visitors can ponder the massive chair of this modern Goliath. Alton's business leaders can be forgiven if they sometimes sit in Robert's chair, musing over the fate that makes some men big while others suffer shortsightedness and shortfalls.

There's no such thing as a man over 100 meters.\nThe world's tallest man was only 2.72 m tall.

The tallest person ever was: Robert Wadlow At the time of his death in 1940 he was 8', 11.1" tall and weighed 439 pounds making him the world’s tallest person in history, according to the Guinness Book of Records, surpassing the record previously held by an 8', 4" inch Irishman who died in 1877.\n \n\nTallest Man - Living in 2006\n   \nWHO: \nXi Shun \nWHAT: \n2 m 36.1 cm\n(7 ft 8.95 in) \nWHERE: \nChifeng, Inner Mongolia, China. \nWHEN: \nJanuary 15, 2005 \n  \nXi Shun (China, b. 1951), measured 7 ft 8.95 in (2 m 36.1 cm) as a result of six measurements taken on January 15, 2005, at Chifeng City Hospital, Inner Mongolia, China.\n\n\nBeating the previous holder Radhouane Charbib (Tunisia) by just 2 mm (0.07 in), Xi Shun claims that his height was normal for his age until he was 16. As a comparison, his father stood at 5 ft 10.8 in (1.8 m) and his mother was 5 ft 2.8 in (1.6 m) tall.\n\nIn his late teens, he experienced a growth spurt that, while not normal, was seemingly without any cause. Doctors who examined him in 2005 discovered no evidence of gigantism or acromegaly, and could not explain why he grew so tall so fast (it took him just seven years to reach his record height).\n\nFollowing a career in the Army – he was recruited for his basketball skills! – he returned to Inner Mongolia and works as a herdsman. He also hires himself out for publicity stunts for a local restaurant and tailor.\n\nHe currently resides with his father and brother at Chifeng.\n \n\n\nTallest Woman - Living in 2006\n   \nWHO: \nSandy Allen \nWHAT: \n2.31 m (7 ft 7 in) \nWHERE: \nIndianapolis, Indiana, USA \nWHEN: \nAs of 1999 \n  \nSandy Allen was a 2.95-kg (6.5-lb) baby, and her abnormal growth began soon after her birth in June 1955. By the age of 10 she stood 1.905 m (6 ft 3 in) tall, and was 2.16 m (7 ft 1 in) by 16 years old. Sandy had a dream to break free of a world, that she felt she had outgrown. In her first letter to Guinness World Records in 1974 she wrote, "I would like to get to know someone that is approximately my height. It is needless to say my social life is practically nil and perhaps the publicity from your book may brighten my life." The accolade did help to bring about a reversal of fortunes for the Indiana secretary. First, there was an offer from film director Federico Fellini to take a role in his film Casanova in 1975, and then her first date with a 7-ft Illinois man. On July 14, 1977, she went into hospital for a pituitary gland operation to stop further growth. Nowadays poor circulation and weak leg muscles mean she is dependent on a wheel chair.

I'm not sure, but I think Richard Hughes, who is also tall for a jockey is 5ft 9.  At a guess I'd say George Baker is about 5ft 11, I wouldn't have thought anyone over 6ft could manage to ride at the low weights required without doing serious damage to themselves as most flat jockeys weigh between 8 and 8 1/2 stone.

Paul McCartney's height is 5 ft 10 in (178 cm)\nPeak height was 5 ft 11 in (180 cm)\n\n\nThe Beatle was the biggest of the Fab Four. Lennon was marginally shorter. These days McCartney looks around 5ft 10, in the heydays of Beatles maybe 5ft 11. The shortest of the beatles was Ringo who is listed as being 5ft 8 but I suspect was closer to 5ft 7, with a paunchant for wearing cuban heels from the pictures I've seen!
