Samantha Fox dances with Chris Greener. The picture must have been taken sometime in the 1980s.

This might be the source of that old saw, "When they're toe to toe her nose is in it and when they're nose to nose her toes are in it.

I don't think that's Andre. The height is about right, but he's not wide enough, and his hands are not big enough. And Andre had very acromegalic facial features; this fellow does not.

Pretty sure that is not Andre. Looks like Gheorghe Muresan:

I looked at the picture before I read the title and thought it was going to be about women with a belt buckle fetish! :coolsmile:

OOO never the buckle!

I'm pretty sure it's Andre, but when he was still young and thin. Compare to the pictures below.

That is not Andre, it is Chris Greener, tallest man in Britain for many years.
