Hmmm......not so. But an interesting guess Windy.

Hahah it's a bizarre one. One of my best mates dad, who you have already mentioned as a 'nickname' played in the 85 premiership. The amount of times i've been over there and he's run through the team on his wall....... Anyway I asked as to why this bloke had all money around him, and he explained that that was 'Wealth'.... Paul Weston.
