David Seaman embraced his surname by drawing little semen on his golf balls.<\/p>\n

The goalkeeping legend was on the receiving end of some brutal banter from school friends and team-mates and was even nicknamed 'Harry Monk' \u2013 cockney rhyming slang for 'sp*nk' \u2013 during the early part of his career. However, the affable Yorkshireman is able to see the funny side and even has golf balls personalised in honour of his rather unfortunate moniker.<\/p>\n

Seaman opened up about it during an appearance on the Tubes & Ange Golf Life show. The Arsenal hero shocked the Soccer AM legend by showing him a close-up of one of his balls while on the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cTalk to me about that,\u201d said a confused-looking Tubes. \u201cIt\u2019s a little semen,\u201d replied Seaman, laughing heartily.<\/p>\n

He then explained: \u201cIt came from a TaylorMade golf day. We\u2019re all doing little dots on our balls and everything. I just did this dot with a little squiggle.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mate went \u2018what\u2019s that?\u2019 And I went \u2018it\u2019s a little semen\u2019. They [TaylorMade] now send me balls with the logo. It\u2019s amazing.\u201d An impressed Tubes said: \u201cThat is class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tubes then asked Seaman if he\u2019d been lumbered with any rude nicknames. \u201cOf course,\u201d replied the Euro 96 hero, who added: \u201cObviously Sp*nky straight away. I found out in sex education lessons when I was 14 that another word for sperm is semen. \u2018Oh s***!\u2019 [I thought]. They all went \u2018arrrrr, Sp*nky!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Seaman continued: \u201cWhen I went to QPR, I was like \u2018guys, you can\u2019t be calling me that in front of the kids\u2019. They were like \u2018all right then, we\u2019ll make a name up for you. We know, we\u2019ll call you H or Harry, [short for] Harry Monk!\u201d<\/p>\n

A laughing Tubes responded: \u201cHarry Monk with a little bit of semen on his goal ball \u2013 amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n
