Louis Wain Fact #9:
Since a boy, he had an interest in fighting sports such as boxing and sparring, and his nose seemingly bore the signs of being broken in such matches. Although Wain himself admits the truth is possibly a bit more mundane, “As a child I had had my nose broken at school.”

And as, of course, the less the great,
Whate'er their station, imitate,
The Ping Pong craze, as time extended,
Unto the kitchen-floor descended.
