Gareth Jellyman - lower league footballer in England.
I was reading an interview with the superb Jeff Stelling a while back and he said he thought of a pun about him when he was doing his research for Soccer Saturday one particular week but he only got to use it about 2 years later.
I can imagine how giddy he got when it appeared on the vidiprinter on the Saturday in question that Jellyman had received a red card. Quick as you like, Stelling chirps in with, ‘Jellyman sent off - must have thrown a wobbly!’
