Austrian footballer Bernt Haas was known as the fireman to his teammates.

The Gloucester cricketer Paul Romaines was nicknamed Human by team-mates.

Used to work with a bald bloke who had the nickname ‘mudguard’. He was shiny on top, but full of shite underneath.

The former Kent batsman Neil Taylor was allegedly a little tight with his cash.

One of his nicknames was accordingly Crime as in crime doesn't pay.
