That's a good one, I've read it in the past. However, this cbs-sports one seems to be longer and more accurate, (more first person accounts), the drunkard piece seems to gloss over and exaggerate a few things.

Samuel Beckett used to drive André to school in his pickup truck. He was too big for the school bus.

When I was 8 or 9 years old I had dinner with a contemporary of Andre the Giant, Baron von Raschke. He was friends with my best friends dad. He gave me "the claw" (brainclaw). Life as a young boy doesn't get much better (except for blueberry pancakes).
