Remember in the late 70s as a schoolboy watching Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy appear at the local Civic Hall unfortunate referee got into the wrong place at the wrong time and with sandwich between haystacks and Daddy. The St John's Ambulance had to stretcher him out the ring

@@rickrick5041 It's quite common for someone to lose a little height by their late forties, though a loss of several inches tends to be something which occurs later. I think taller people tend to be more prone to height loss, but probably the biggest factors here were his great weight and health problems🤔
