Tottenham midfielder Sandro loves his nickname

Tottenham midfielder Sandro loves his nickname.

The Brazilian is now as the "Beast" among Spurs fans.

"I feel good about my nickname - Beast. I feel good when people sing and the guys call me Beast. I want to run and kick everyone," he told the Daily Star Sunday.

"The nickname started to stick because I started to kick everyone in games. When I jumped with another player I would win - this is how it started. It was the fans who gave me the name."
