Fisto was the First...
Urban Legend? Who knows
If you grew up or lived in Sheffield/Rotherham in the late 80's early 90's you will no doubt have seen oodles of tags by 'Fist' or 'Fisto'

Every motorway bridge proclaimed 'FISTO' in big blue letters, all public buildings, library, train station etc the same.
Buses, Trains, nothing was safe.
The Daily Mail brigade got pissed off, and plod announced a crackdown on Fisto.

Scroll forward to I think 1998 and Fisto is finally appprehended, sent down or whatever, and the tagging stops. Over the next few years his almost iconic name dissapears as it was finally painted over or washed off.

The punch line? He wanted to be the first to tag everywhere, so decided that his tag would be 'First'.

Unfortunately he spelt it wrong, so it was 'Fist', which became 'Fisto'.

Is that a true story? If you know, let me know, and if you want Snopes to debunk it, Click 'I like this'.
