    there's one guy who plays in the english 1st division and I believe he's one of the tallest players in the league if not the tallest. I don't recall his name though.

    Almeida is officially 190cm tall as they don't use the imperial system in Europe.

    To get this in inches you multiply by .4, which equals 76 inches, which equals
    6 feet plus 4 inches.

    The tallest player in the superliga is Khadim Faye from Senegal and plays for Boavista he's listed at 197 cen. which equals out to be 6 foot 5 inches tall.
    Tallest Portuguese player is Edalecio who's from Alcochete and plays for Rio Ave and he's listed at 196 cen. which equals out to be 6 foot 4 inches tall! :eek:
