A Scottish footballer who played for the team Bellew supports, Everton, and who had a reputation for being a violent dirty thuggish player, in fact, he went to prison for headbutting another player. I thought it might make an apt comparison to Bellew since Bellew was fighing a rather dirty fight and they have Everton in common.
