Let’s start with the easy ones…
There’s Charlton Athletic legend Mark Fish
And American tennis player Mardy Fish (no relation, as Michael Ó Muircheartaigh would say)
Then we can move on to bits of the fish
There’s England cricketer Steven Finn
And John Scales of Wimbledon, Liverpool and Tottenham fame
(We were really just looking for an excuse to use this pic of Scales, Steve Harkness and model Kathy Lloyd)
Then you have the different types of fish
There’s Derby County and Ireland striker Conor “the Sammon of College” Sammon, proudly immortalised in the terrace chant “Feed the fish and he will score”
South African cricket Shaun Pollock makes the cut
As does one-time Filbert Street legend Steve Guppy
The world of GAA gave us Paddy Codd
And Paul Codd
Baseball is good for two more as well — there’s Steve Trout
And Mike Carp
If you want to add a racehorse into the mix, we suggest Barracouda
Who could forget Eric “The Eel” Moussambani, star of the Sydney Olympics in 2000?

Sharks are fish, right? (We’re talking about Greg Norman, not Big Willy)
We’ll need a manager for this motley crew
Who better than former Galway manager Liam Sammon?
We’ll need a chief executive as well
Someone give Manchester United head honcho David Gill a shout.
And a team name…
Gotta be Pike Rovers
