Giggs' height

Curious about method used when converting Giggs' height (given in many sources as 1.79m) from metric to imperial (as in the WIkipedia article), to increase to 5'10"? 1.79m converts to 5'8 3/4". So what height is he really? 109.76.130.164 (talk) 19:45, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure where you get your figures from. The inch is officially defined as 25.4 mm. 1.79 m is 1790 mm = (1790/25.4) inches = 70.47".

So Ryan Giggs is 5'10.47" tall, which rounds to 5'10".

Giggs has made more than 1000 appearances for Manchester United, as mentioned on the same page under his Man U career section. Please update the top profile section. 672 apps is incorrect. 138.75.6.75 (talk) 18:15, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On Wikipedia, only league appearances are listed in a players infobox. Kosack (talk) 19:25, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not only that, but no he didn't. He played 963 times for Manchester United in all competitions. – Pee Jay 12:37, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beverley Road in Pendlebury

Giggs was brought up in Beverley Road, but that's in Pendlebury, not in Swinton. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 13:55, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect England under 16 cap

Giggs dod not play for the England u16 team and win a cap, the team he played for was England schoolboys, not the English FA 92.6.160.210 (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request: record number of Premier League appearances

Current text reads Most Premier League appearances for a player, with 632 (since surpassed by Gareth Barry). His total has now been surpassed by a second player. The record could be removed, or the note could be amended to state that he held the record upon retirement. 82.42.117.77 (talk) 21:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
