'Huge bombs got me nickname'

Sadaam Maake reminded us how he got nicknamed after the former Iraqi leader: "It was before the PSL banned firecrackers at their matches. Around 1991, at the height of Operation Desert Storm (first US invasion of Iraq), Ke ne ke etla ka di bomo (I used to bring huge crackers). People said I carried Saddam's bombs. That's how I got the nickname."
