Possibly the most prolific of all the SSHL players since the leagues inception. He has determined the out-come of all games with out even attending a single match. Mostly however noted for his philanthropy, such as helping a hobo in a blue and white striped hat after he was hit by a car at great personal cost to himself. He has one hat trick to his name. This trick involves him filping it onto his head.

Most bacon consumed in the UK is back bacon (also called short back bacon). The cut comes from the loin in the middle of the back of the animal. It is a lean meaty cut of bacon, with relatively less fat compared to other cuts.

Back bacon is known as Canadian bacon in the United States but not in Canada, where it is simply called back bacon. In Canada, "Canadian bacon" is traditionally unsmoked back bacon that has been sweet pickle cured and coated in yellow cornmeal. This variation is also known as peameal bacon, because in times past a mixture of ground yellow peas was used for coating to improve curing and shelf-life. The "Canadian" bacon sold in the United States is plain lean back bacon.

Middle bacon is much like back bacon but is cheaper and somewhat fattier. Collar bacon is taken from the back of a pig near the head. Streaky bacon (the most common form of bacon in the United States) comes from the belly of a pig. It is very fatty with long veins of fat running parallel to the rind. Pancetta is Italian streaky bacon, smoked or green (unsmoked), with a strong flavour.

Gammon is Wiltshire cured bacon rolled into a joint. It is often boiled or baked. Boiled Bacon And Cabbage a traditional Irish recipe uses a gammon joint. Rashers of bacon are a main constituent of the traditional Irish breakfast, along with sausages.

Although Britain has a large pork and bacon industry, much of the bacon consumed in Britain is produced in Denmark, and marketed as Danish bacon (the word "Danish" is stamped on the rind). In 1999 the Conservative Party leader at the time, William Hague, called for a ban on Danish bacon. He claimed that Britain's strict animal welfare regulations meant that British pig farmers could not compete with Danish producers who use a sow stall system.
