Looking at a few recent post on here referring to players by other than their real names made me recall a few. Mostly out of affection but some as bad humour
The Baron Alfie Biggs
The Latvian Vitalijs Astafjevs
Boris David Mehew
Bruno Devon White
Smash & Grab Alan Warboys & Bruce Bannister
Jocky Ian Alexander
Penny Gary Penrice
Olly Ian Holloway
Billy Ocean Carl Saunders
And the most famous of them all is
The Snake Matty Taylor (not the manager)

"Tame the Bull" Twentyman, referring to him keeping Steve Bull quiet.
Only heard it once from Keith Valle, but it went down well.

You forgot Whoosh Nicky Tanner I couldn't understand why Rovers were going to sell him to Torquay for about 10k only for Liverpool to sign him for not much more. Odd that he was deemed not good enough for Rovers and yet good enough for Liverpool and odd that the fee was so low. |

I'm sure we had a nickname for David Pritchard' but I don't recall Pritchard and Ronnie Mauge had the collective “Dogs of War” nickname I seem to remember |

Stuart Sinclair, The Beard
Lewis Haldane, Agent Orange

Odd that he was deemed not good enough for Rovers and yet good enough for Liverpool and odd that the fee was so low. The most bizarre transfer ever. Was delighted when Torquay were taking him off our hands and paying us as well. Could not believe it when it was announced that Liverpool had hijacked the deal! |
