At 7ft 4in tall and weighing more than 35 stone, Andre the Giant is one of the most iconic and instantly-recognisable wrestlers of all time.

Thousands of people travelled from all over the world just to see 'The Eighth Wonder of the World' up close.

A megastar of the 70s and 80s, Andre was famous for his feuds with legends like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase.

But behind the scenes, he was also famed for his drinking ability, able to put away remarkable amounts of booze in an incredibly short space of time.

Sadly, the 500-pounder passed away in 1993 due to heart failure, with some contributing his extraordinary drinking habits to his demise.
