Henry would be the probable answer - as in Thierry Henry the French footballer. Remember his handball subsequently led toIreland being eliminated from the World Cup Finals.

No trappings = no decorations (ie medals)

For Trapp = Republic of Ireland's football manager (Giovanni Trapattoni)

Thanks to Hank (a nickname given to HENRY Morgan, the pirate)

On hand speaks for itself!

Oh dear is a reference tothe old rhyme (There's a hole in my bucket DEAR HENRY)

Good luck
