Mick Hassett - knee high to a grasshopperMick Hassett is apparently also known as “Aker” or “Hollywood” depending upon which email we’re reading from our streamlined Elephant friends across the border in Laos.

His photograph has become one of the most talked about photographs in Asian football after it appeared on this blog under the name of Alex Ronnie Barker.

So, just exactly who is this Hollywood Ak(t)er? The Swans Blog undertook to find out.

The Blog can now report that Mick is 35 years, 175cm and weighs 76kgs. Hassett is an “excellent link man with silky smooth skills. Dangerous up forward, dour down back, strong hands in the air and around the packs this man has all the hallmarks of an experienced rookie”. 

We may not understand why he uses so many names, but at least we now understand why his photograph is so talked about.
