In university degree classification

When I was at university 40 years ago a 2:2 was always known as a Desmond (or a beer drinker's degree). A first was sometimes called a Geoff Hurst. I got a 2:1 (which was good in those days before unis/polys competed to give the most firsts)) but can't remember what that was nicknamed.
