I read an interesting interview with Michael Essien a couple of weeks ago. At the very start, the interviewer asked Chelsea's midfield enforcer if he had a nickname. "Yes, they call me Bison", he replied. "Would you rather I called... Read more | Comment now

Tennis has the "Magician" Fabrice Santoro, a player whose entire gameplan revolves around frustrating his stronger and more talented opponents into making unforced errors. Understimate the 35-year old at your peril though as Agassi, Sampras and most notably Marat Safin... Read more | Comment now
