English former professional footballer, turned pundit, who played for Manchester United and won 85 caps for the national team. In 1995 he said
"I've played there [central defence] a few times in the first team but it doesn't help that I'm only 5 ft 10in tall."

Yeah I think 5”9 is spot on. He’s been listed as 5”11 on google, but I never believed he was even 5”10, let alone 5”11. I always saw him around the 5”9 mark. Solid 5”9, nothing more nothing less.

Held up pretty well while interviewing Usyk recently, he can look taller than this listing at times

Richards quite often wears big footwear though, trainers which look to me like they might be near 2 inches thick which can make him look 6ft+ at times, I reckon barefoot im doubtful he'd be over 181.

What about Micah Richards, Rob?
Editor Rob
With guys like Keane and neville, could look in 5ft 11-6ft range.

He looks taller than both Jordan Peterson and Piers Morgan compared to Ronaldo lol. Both didn't stand as their best, but i think Gary has the worse posture

Always looked a little over an inch shorter than Beckham in his playing career. Beckham was 5'11 flat so i would say 5'9.5 is right.

He is 5'9.5 (176.5cm).

Editor Rob: 9.5-10 might be more likely than 9-9.5 compared to his United team-mates
Rob, I suppose 5ft10½ is arguable for Keane then?
Editor Rob
A strong 5ft 10 is always arguable for Keane.

I’ve seen 5’9” talk out there!

Closer to 5’9 or 5’10 Rob?
Editor Rob
9.5-10 might be more likely than 9-9.5 compared to his United team-mates.

Rob, could 5ft9.75 be a better fit for Gary ? I think this could be a little harsh, I felt Gary was around 5ft10 when I saw him up close. I think maybe slightly bigger head might make him seem shorter, but nearer 5ft10 than 9 for me.
Editor Rob
Well I wouldn't go under 9.5, maybe his big head can give a 5ft 9 illusion but he falls somewhere in 5ft 9.5-10 range.
