#5 Southgate was nicknamed "Nord"
Ad
During his time with Crystal Palace as a youngster, Gareth Southgate was nicknamed "Nord" by his teammates at the club. The England manager was a unique character during his younger days and according to Guardian football correspondent, Louise Taylor, the name was coined due to the precise manner in which he spoke or addressed others and his pair of grey Hush Puppies that reminded everyone of TV presenter Denis Norden.
We're not quite sure if Gareth still remembers that but his former teammates surely do!
