Everton fans have given him the nickname " Tiny Tim " after the Charles Dickens character because he is slightly short and slim . He has made a corner flag goal celebration his " trademark " . The celebration , where Cahill pretends to trade punches with the corner flag while putting the Everton badge between his teeth , was first seen in the 2005 – 06 season . On 2 March 2008 , Cahill controversially celebrated his goal in the 3 – 1 home victory of Portsmouth by crossing his wrists as if he had been handcuffed . This was in reference to the recent jailing of his brother , Sean ; Cahill later apologised for the gesture . Cahill dedicated his winning goal in a Europa League game against BATE Borisov to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Samoa , miming rowing a canoe after scoring in the second half of the match in Belarus
