Patrick Cotter O'Brien (1760-1806), of County Cork, Ireland, holds the distinction of being the first person confirmed, in his own lifetime, to be at least eight feet tall, at 8 foot 1 inch (c. 2.46 meters).
Depending on which source one reads, he may have been the first confirmed eight-foot tall person period, though I have read sources claiming that a skeleton was later found of another man, who supposedly lived earlier than O'Brien, and measured at eight feet in length.
Prior to him, there were the reports on Goliath's height, but the Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrated that a simple typographical error had inflated Goliath's height from something around 6 foot 9 (c. 2.06 meters), which means that Goliath was actually about the size of a basketball power forward, up to a fantastical 9 foot 9 (c. 2.97 meters)

🇮🇪 Baltimore è un villaggio irlandese situato nella Contea di Cork, Irlanda
Baile an Tí Mhóir è il termine irlandese che letteralmente significa “grande casa”. 🏡
🏰 Oltre il castello, da cui deriva il nome del villaggio, da visitare è il suo faro bianco: The Beacon.
Una volta arrivato rimarrai stupefatto dalla vista spettacolare e della verde valle che si affaccia sul mare d’Irlanda (Mar Celtico). 💚
