Weirdly, I tend to use 'Beram' and 'Tomer' for our Israeli Men, as if they're mates or something. I don't think I do it for any other players.

Chuba Akpom - f**king useless!

Getting back to the thread:
Adam El (dib dab) Abd

I recall Warren Aspinall being genially referred to as "Pies" during the Withdean years, in relation- obviously- to his cuddly physique.

And Paul Rogers was Ted, which always seemed considerably better than the players' nickname for him of "Dodge".

Going further back, I used to hear people calling Perry Digweed "Mary" at times, then of course there was the hugely memorable and widely used "Wendy" Wilkins.

Dean Hammond was 'brackets' - whenever he got the ball we made a negative gain of ground

this is a family site

It really, really, isn't.

Ever had you're own nickname for a player?

We used to call Gordon Greer "the Rolls"

Presumably as it's like something you get out of the garage once a year only to realise it's got a puncture or a ruptured fuel tank and therefore splutters into life momentarily only to wither and fade away?

Back in the day I used to refer to Peter Smith as the epileptic giraffe.

 

[Tarpon]

Someone I know used these:

Casper Angrybird
David Storkdale
Niki Magpie

Go figure.

I've just been informed that Matt Robin replaces Storkdale in this list...

I had a few for Caskey can't say it here as he many thought he was the future, the future of self tackling.

Jake Forceit-Sideways

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Anthony Knockeart is known as 'Rocky' by my 6 year old who misheard 'Knocky'

He wants 'Rocky' on a BHA shirt. He also thinks we are 'The sausage boys in white and blue'

 

[Perkino]

A friend of mine went to watch the Albion at Withdean and asked me why we all shout "Cheese Rolls" I chant it when I'm watching it on the tele and in the presence of my 2 year old but never at the Amex

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

'That man has the heart of a mouse' was a frequent utterance of mine (Orlandi, for his no-holds-barred gung ho tackling)

 

[Yes Chef]

I remember Perry Digweed being called the similarly biblical 'Jesus', presumably because neither of them liked crosses

The Hunny Monster
Balders

Remembered another couple. My mate and I call Dunk "Baby Dunk" or just Baby. I think it has something to do with a nickname he had for his daughter. CMS was always the golden retriever, because he ran about aimlessly like one,
