Actually, no president had this nickname. But you may be referring to a famous line in a 1940 movie, when then-actor Ronald Reagan spoke about winning one for the Gipper-- a College Football player at Notre Dame named George Gipp, who died when he was only in his mid-20s. Unfortunately, the movie memorializes a story that may or may not have really happened. Yes, there was a George Gipp, but whether he actually asked his teammates in a death-bed scene to win the game for him is the subject of much debate. I refer you to an excellent article about this, from Sports Illustrated. https://www.si.com/vault/1991/12/30/125750/the-elusive-gipper-who-was-george-gipp-of-notre-dame-and-why-does-his-legend-live-on-when-so-many-others-have-faded
