You would laugh, but there is a racing horse in Ireland, Paddy The Plumber. It was named after one businessman, a selfmade milliionaire. Presumembly, the gentleman started as a humble Irish labourer in England.

I think he's worth taking hat off to him! By the way which of these two are more proud of being Paddy (the) Plumber - the selfmade millionaire or the horse that was named after him?
