Muhammad Shahid Nazir, now known as £1 Fish Man,moved to London’s East End having left his native Pakistanand his wife and four children to discover a better life for them all. Working on a market stall selling fish, Nazir needed a trader’s call to grab passing trade. His song became the stuff of legend and a viral sensation: “Have-a, have-a look, one pound fish. Very, very good, very, very cheap, one pound fish.”
