‘What’s the matter? Ye shit yerself?’ - Devilfish

1. DAVE ‘DEVILFISH’ ULLIOTT

Named after the delicacy, which can prove fatal if not prepared properly, and initially given to Ulliott by Stephen Au-Yeung – a professional gambler who ran a private poker game in Birmingham – the name was cemented at a game in the Four Queens casino in Vegas. Ulliott was in a heads-up encounter with Men ‘The Master’ Nguyen, when one of Nguyen’s followers shouted ‘Go on The Master!’ Ulliott’s driver bellowed ‘Go on the f ing Devilfish!’ back and after Ulliott triumphed, the headlines the next day read ‘Devilfish devours The Master.’ Just in case people forgot, Ulliott fashioned a couple of huge gold rings – one for each hand – with the words DEVIL and FISH inscribed on them.
