"Dino" is Koller's nickname....

Seems like Jan Koller has a new nick name. And that would be: Dino. As in Dinosaur is suppose and of course because of his size. In Belgium he however never had this nickname. He is Europe's tallest soccerplayer (high level) so there is some truth in it.
Jan had however another nickname when he was not yet playing soccer at professional level. His nickname was "Pistala".
Ballantine's Team: a group of seven friends. The oldest member is 52 now. The youngest is Koller. Everyone in the group has a nickname. Jan's nickname is Pistala. A pistala is something like a small whistle. The group makes a lot of trips, used to drink very much alcohol (and still does) and have a lot of fun.
