What is your favourite player nickname of all time

[damon.green]

Grease Wilmot

 

[Deacster]

Was Jock Andy Morrison's middle name or a nickname? I like Charlie for Paul Williams, great left back.

 

[Quintrell Green]

(Mpenza) Needles

And that is exactly how the Searchers used to sing it!!!

Pins came after Needles in the lyrics, I am happy to say that I can still remember!

 

[davie nine]

I did suggest 'Freckled' for Oscar Threlkeld.

Slips off the tongue easier.

 

[Suffolk Green]

BEAST - Krisztián Timár

 

[Bermudian Green]

We had a goalkeeper a few years ago (can't remember his name) nicknamed Dracula because he hated crosses.

99% certain that was Jon Sheffield.

 

[Winchelsea Green]

Mad Dog.

 

[macleanie]

Trigger is my fave but "David Och Ma Knee" has got to be up there.

 

[handbags blake]

Does anyone remember when my namesake seb had some trouble in town and was called handbags Blake for a short while

 

[Turnchapel Only]

The milkman. Mike Bickle.

You are correct. I really meant that the Penza bit. I saw them live at the ABC. Helen Shapiro was top of the bill and the Searchers topped the first half. Trouble is by the time the show got to Plymouth the Searchers were on to their second number 1 and Helen was on the way down. The crowd were not good to Shapiro. There were about six or seven acts but I cannot recall the others!

As the promise of the early 60s evaporated Argyle bought a centre half who appropriately enough was in decline too. Andy Nelson had done it elsewhere winning the old Second Division and then the First Division with Alf Ramsey's Ipswich. When he joined Argyle in 65-66 his best days were behind him although he was still on his day a tidy performer. His style was not uncommon amongst centre halves at he time. His nickname - Vert - really summed him up!

Thanks for those. Some good ones tht had slipped my mind. vert a new one on me. What was the logic behind that? Other than being French for green

Thanks Steve - I was actually going to say that I thought Bobby Rydell was there too. But fantastic amount of entertainment for not a lot of cash.
