And while in Scotland he used an interesting way to tell his team-mates about his then-girlfriend, porn star Kira Eggers.
Speaking to the Under The Cosh podcast, Caddis revealed the Danish hardman would tell anyone who asked about his girlfriend to use Google to find her.
When asked whether Gravesen ever had a girlfriend while at Celtic, Caddis said: “No, she would stay in Denmark or something, his missus was a porn star wasn’t she?
“We used to say to him, Tommy, you got any pictures of your missus? ‘Just Google her lad, loads on Google’.”

Caddis played alongside Gravensen at opposite ends of their careers.
Gravesen had been on the south side of Hadrian’s Wall for almost five years with Everton, starring 167 times during his time at Goodison Park before joining Madrid in January 2005.
He retired at the age of 33 in 2008, with Caddis himself leaving Celtic in 2010 after coming through the Hoops academy.
Following retirement, however, Gravesen lived a life far divorced from his days as a footballer.

One-cap Scotland international Caddis also revealed how Gravesen would spend his time in the off-season.
He added: “He used to go back in pre-season and stay at either his mum’s or his dad’s (house) in an attic probably about the f***ing size of this full table.
“In this little attic, a tiny room for six weeks, just used to sit on his PlayStation.
“He was like number one or number two for COD (Call of Duty) at one point.
“Honestly! He was f***ing mental, but what a brilliant guy.” More
