Rolling Stone - did you ever see '2 pints of larger and a packet of crisps'?
The BBC sitcom about a bunch of chavs.
Anyway, one of the main characters' long lost brother, Munch, has turned up.
Separated at birth or what??
Munch
Peter Crouch

Talking of Crouch, I saw a German website during the world cup with a spoof headline of "England player arrested for showing Nazi symbol". I've lost the link to the site, but the picture linked below is the one that accompanied the story -

Never seen such a tall footballer. During the Cup I was hoping to learn exactly how tall he is but no luck. Any idea? |

grr.. this is so more effort than it's really worth! For some reason I can't link this picture, so I'll just give you the link
http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/twopints/gallery/snaps1.shtml
the picture you want is the second to last in the right-hand pannel (no. 19)
enjoy
Sweetsee - I do believe he hovers around the 2m mark (don't know what that is in feet and inches), hence the nickname 'two meter peter'  |

Jan Koller (born March 30, 1973 in Smetanova Lhota, Czech Republic) is a Czech football player, who currently stars as a striker for the Czech Republic national team and the Ligue 1 club AS Monaco. He is the all-time leading goal scorer for either the Czech Republic or the former Czechoslovakia, with 43 goals as of June 12, 2006.[1]
Koller has an impressive physical presence (height: 2.02 m, nearly 6'8" and weight 100 kg, about 220 pounds). Allegedly, Jan Koller is believed to have lost 13 lb during a single 90 minute game |
Taller than our Crouchy... but he plays in France! And he is much stockier than Pete. this Wikipedia is badly written. You don't need "Allegedly" in the last sentence (I should be an editor!)

Where Peter Crouch is a stick insect, Jan Koller is a big chunk of rock. That is the best I can come up with.  |
