"El Inglés"


From today's Guardian:

A British bullfighter returned from retirement yesterday, entering a small ring near Malaga to mark an unprecedented comeback to the sport aged 65.

Frank "El Inglés" Evans, who has recovered from a quadruple heart bypass operation and knee replacement, took to a tiny ring to defy the advice of doctors and family. . . .

He has been back in training since February, as well as running a bathroom fittings and property business. . . .

He dismissed injury concerns. "The thought of serious injury or death never occurs," he said. "People in the industry never really dwell on it."

It's certainly a creative nickname.
