Toni Kallio interview

Already accustomed to life on English soil from his time at Fulham, Finnish ace Toni Kallio is quickly feeling settled at Bramall Lane.
Now he only wishes the midweek fixtures would ease off somewhat and allow room for his other love – golf!

He'd better be able to put better than he can pass otherwise he'd need a full day for a round of 18 holes

Kallio and I both subscribe to the magazine 'Today's Golfer' and we've both entered the 'Fantasy League'. His team is called 'Tuupparit' which sounds as though it might mean 'Whack it' or similar. Anyone know better?

By the way, I wouldn't have posted such trivia if anything important was happening!

EDIT:

I've now found out it's the Finnish term for a slow - playing golfer. Still not sure what the original meaning is. I wonder if there's a similar expression in football terms?

Damn, I thought you meant he'd been shortlisted for one of the Wood Store Assistants at Homebase...?!?
