Greetings from an exiled Plymouthian grateful for that fact as every time I flicked back from the Rugby on Saturday my afternoon got worse...we truly are masters of our own destruction this season!
Still whilst in positive mode pre season I spent some time researching nicknames of players/managers and at the like after getting amused by some click bait for something tor other ...eg One Size for Fitz Hall and Kris for Kiki Musampa...
I'd love to hear of any great Oxford ones...plus do you have candidates for the typical Trigger/Psycho/Beast that seem top proliferate at most clubs...feel free to chuck in any that are just bizarre, but ones that relate to physical prowess ( or otherwise) , likenesses to weird animals ( Afghan Hound anyone for Mikail-Smith) are always welcome.
Good luck for the rest of the season...I actually saw my first game ever at the Manor Ground ( I seem to recall a home defeat by QPR) before we moved back to Gods Own County...and Nelson was and always will be a legend for his leadership during the dark days of admin....

George Lawrence - Chicken George (Roots was on the TV...Google it kids) Gary Briggs - Rambo Kevin Francis - Super Bobby McDonald - Super Mac David Fogg - Foggy (neither amusing nor witty granted!) Billy Hamilton - Mushroom John Aldridge - Aldo Mickey Lewis - Mad-dog Billy Turley - Elvis
There are others....some rather inappropriate in these "softer" times.

I have had a few other clubs point out "Tumble"
I too would love to understand Mushroom...and Olive is a classic.
Much appreciated

John Trewick - We used to call him 'the crab'. David Smith - Smudger due to his dodgy tan. Smudger was known to the players as Abdul because, according to Fordy' s infamous programme notes, he looked like a taxi driver. How times change. In this case, for the better.

Whilst we’re on nicknames.. Bald Eagle for Jim Smith Tufty (by the usual suspects) for Chris Wilder. Whatever happened to him ?

Giggsy - Ryan Giggs Scholesy - Paul Scholes Keano - Roy Keane Incey - Paul Ince Robbo - Bryan Robson Sharpey - Lee Sharpe
Man U fans were the best at nicknames in the nineties, you just never knew what they were going to do with a players surname, would they add a y or an o to the end of it? Top bants before people knew what top bants was.
