      There must have been someone nicknamed 'The Wall'.

      Ooh, Arsenal were named after The Arsenal Stadium Mystery, they were called Woolwich Arsenal before that.

        Walter Samuel of Inter and Argentina was the Wall

        The stadium in Graz was renamed after Schwarzenegger allowed an execution to proceed while serving as Governor of California. There was a debate in Graz to remove his name, and rather than allow the controversy to become bigger than it already was, he chose to remove his authorisation for its use.

          House of Flying Daggers ... located in East London, and currently in the 5th tier of English football. (And if they don't call it that they damn well should).
