Why are Arsenal called the Gunners? Why are Everton the Toffees? And who on earth are the Tricky Trees? This week's quiz is Whose Nickname? Issy and George say 6 football nicknames and you shout the team: the Gunners, the Toffees, the Magpies, the Seagulls, the Lionesses and the Tricky Trees. Then they tell you where each name comes from, from a weapons factory in 1886 to a row of toffee shops. This week's player is Désiré Doué of Paris Saint-Germain and France. He joined his first club at 5 years old, copied Neymar's tricks as a kid, and at 19 he scored 2 goals in a Champions League final. No teenager had ever done that before. The new Ultimate Football Heroes book about him is out on 22 October. Then the predictions: Nottingham Forest v Arsenal at the City Ground, and Crystal Palace v West Ham United in the Women's Super League, both on Sunday 18 October. Next week Issy and George settle 4 matches at once. Who is your ultimate football hero? Grab an adult and send us a voice note or an email: ufh@stripped.media New episode every Tuesday.
