For creativity you also got Andre 'Bad Moon' Rison and my favourite (not all footballers are thick obviously) a Southampton (I think) defender called Fitz Hall: nicknamed 'One Size'

Berman nicknames are great...

Todd "Mercedes" Benzinger was my fav...close to Todd "Which hand do you" Frowirth.

Jeremiah "The Woodchopper" Trotter

Draft Dodger · 01-17-2005, 06:47 PM

I've always been partial to "Slash". Jim "Hacksaw" Reynolds had a pretty good nickname too...even more so in the way he was rumored to have earned it.

sterlingice · 01-17-2005, 06:57 PM

Not much holds a candle to "Sweetness" in my mind.

SI

Maple Leafs · 01-17-2005, 07:11 PM

Hockey has had some great ones:

Shawn Cronin - "Cronin the Barbarian"
