269. The bet and the outcome....

Someone explaining how he got his nickname:

The American press nicknamed me X after a bet that I made with the Captain. He had promised me a certain type of suitcase if I won a important match, which I did. The American public liked this nickname, which highlighted my tenacity, never giving up on my prey! My friend Robert George provided a visual representation which kind of stuck, for perpetuity.

Who and what nickname?

Lacoste, I guess, with the crocodile as the tenacious holder-on to prey!
