Shane Williams, standing at exactly 5ft 6 (167.6 cm), defied expectations in rugby union as one of the shortest elite wingers in the sport's history.
His compact height contributed to his explosive acceleration, low center of gravity, and remarkable ability to evade tackles, powering his legendary career with the Ospreys and 87 caps for Wales.
