Can’t throw any light on Unlucky Fish (could he be a forbear of Billy the Fish?).
The Northern Union was, I think, the name given to the group of rugby clubs in Lancashire and Yorkshire who broke away from the Rugby Football Union over the issue of broken time payments (compensation for loss of normal earnings), i.e. the founder members of Rugby League.

Footballers playing poker
Many football players have tried poker as a new career and played in big live poker tournaments. Teddy Sheringham, for example, has entered the World Series of Poker on several occasions. The former England striker needs to work on his poker game, however, because his biggest wins are from small events such as the 2005 Fahrenheit Poker Festival. In total, Sheringham has won close to $30,000 in poker tournaments. He probably made more money playing football...
Another English football player that was playing internet poker was Wayne Rooney. Gambling rooms like everest poker seem to attract many people, which try their luck winning. Fortunately for Rooney his habit didn't influence the level of his game (or wallet) and he is still one of the best football players in the world.
