Writer and broadcaster Steve Bunce tells the most extraordinary stories from his long career in journalism. Introduced by Caroline Barker, Steve tells a series of fascinating stories from across a wide range of sports.
In this episode, Steve tells Caroline about a man with many pseudonyms who became the scourge of the golfing elite throughout the seventies, with a sidebar into the life of 'The Mouse' Strauss. Plus an American boxer who also used assumed names in order to tally around 400 professional fights, most of them defeats.
From the extreme to the bizarre, Bunce's tales are anything but predictable. Download more episodes from the podcast, bbc.co.uk/5live.
