Toshack is also routinely introduced as 'John Benjamin' in the spanish media. Benjamin being his middle name. I have no idea why, and it's a useless piece of information to share, although i wasn't going to be out done in the John Toshack trivia stakes.
My bit of Toshack trivia, is i once worked next to his brothers P&D business in Wellington St.

Apparently, his surname is of Scottish origin and is cognate with the Gaelic 'toiseach', the head of a tribe, group or, in the current day, Irish parliament.

His old man was a Scot, worked on the council with my Uncle Georgie. Georgie always pronounced the surname as Tooshack.
