165.0. "players nicknames" by KERNEL::HAWLEYI (I remember 'The cat in the hat') Mon Apr 06 1992 18:28

    
    Liverpool fans have an affectionate nickname for Jan Molby, they call
    him, "pie ar*e".
    Ok, so maybe not the subtlest of nicknames.
    Have any of your teams got players who have 'interesting' nicknames?

    Some Liverpool fans once told me they called John Barnes "Tarmac"
    because they likened him to a black Highway !!

    The FE's two midfield youngsters, Simon Osborn and Simon Rodger are
    known collectively as The Bisto Kids for their likeness to said
    characters. Rodger is also called by his team-mates - "Jolly" rather
    unsurprisingly.
    
    Know any more Paneso?

    Paul Ince is Mr P. Once or ponce as a more collective 
    phrase.

    Celtic have a long tradition of players called "SHUGGY". This normally
    applies to those foreigners whose names don't quite fit into a song or
    are merely inpronouncable (sp?)
    
    eg  Dariusz Wdowchek
