Peter Crouch is a very tall man. He stands at six-foot-seven and would not have a very successful career as a jockey even if he is quite skinny.

He’s out in Dubai at the moment and bumped into the spindly figure of  Mr Abbey Clancy and the picture of the two together is pretty special:

Magnificent

The former Liverpool striker has not tweeted about the brilliant picture:
