Mike Fisher (Only Fools and Horses)

Michael David "Mike" Fisher was a fictional character in the BBC sit-com Only Fools and Horses. He was publican of the Nag's Head and appeared in the show from 1983 to 1996. Mike was portrayed by Kenneth MacDonald.

Mike first appeared in Only Fools and Horses in the episode, Who's a Pretty Boy?, in which Del ingratiated himself with the new landlord by agreeing to a deal which would see Mike accept Del's £2000 offer to re-decorate the pub, leaving them with £500 apiece and using the remaining £1000 to pay Brendan O' Shaugnassy. With many scenes in subsequent episodes set in the Nag's Head, Mike became a regular character.

Good-natured but often gullible, Mike was often on the receiving end of Del's scams or attempts to sell his low-quality goods. He rarely managed to get to Del to pay off his bar tab or even to pay for his drinks as he ordered them (instead putting them on the 'slate'. He later comments that it's gotten so far out of hand he could retile the roof with them). Among the goods he bought from Del were a hairdryer which was actually a paint stripper (leaving Mike with severe burns to the head), a deep fryer (which soon exploded) and a fax machine which didn't work. On the other hand, he was quite happy to con people out of their money when he could, evidenced by one occasion where he sold Denzil a plate of stew for a pound, then sold exactly the same thing to a yuppie for £2.50, instead calling it "Boeuf Bourguignon."

Mike Fisher (soccer)

Mike Fisher (born May 28, 1975 in Naperville, Illinois) is a former U.S. collegiate soccer midfielder. After graduating from the University of Virginia, Fisher chose to pursue a medical rather than soccer career.

Fisher grew up in Batavia, Illinois where he attended Batavia High School from 1989 to 1993. Fisher excelled both on the soccer field and in the classroom. In 1993, he graduated as class valedictorian and as the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year. At the time he graduated, Fisher ranked 5th on the Illinois State High School career scoring list with 140 career goals. Aside from playing soccer, Fisher also developed an interest in medicine while in high school.

Heavily recruited by many top colleges, Fisher chose to attend the University of Virginia (UVa) where he played on the school's men's college soccer team under coach Bruce Arena from 1993 to 1996. At the time the UVa Cavaliers had the premier NCAA soccer program. It shared the national championship in 1989 with Santa Clara and beginning in 1991 would run off a string of 4 straight national titles. Over his four years with the program, Fisher became a star on the team. He finished his career as the school’s career points leader with 167 on 56 goals and 55 assists. This made him only the third collegiate player to amass both 50 career goals and 50 career assists. His senior year, he led the NCAA in assists, with 20.
