Nicknames to fill in time

[tiers 2,883]

For something to fill the time during the social separation why don't we start never ending threads on the well known nicknames for past and present players.

I will start with

Froggy - Neil Crompton premiership player and goal sneak.

Please add your own and keep this rolling. We might need it for some time.

 

[Rab D Nesbitt 9,009]

Hollywood - David Cordner. Given to him because he smoked Peter Stuyvesant cigarettes which supposedly all the film stars did at the time. 

[hemingway 7,633]

Crackers summed up Peter Keenan perfectly. 

[Rab D Nesbitt 9,009]

Rhino - Russell Richards

Bobby - Mark Withers

Circum - Greg Sizer

Franken - Jim Stynes (supporters called him this and he hated it)

Sticky Fingers - Steven Icke

Sugar - Greg Healy

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137]

Tassie Johnson

Big Bob Johnson

Was Travis Johnstone 'Trapper'?

And what about Alan, Paul or Chris Johnson? Or any other Johnson. Were they all the default "Johnno" in each case?

Please don't use them all at once. This thread may have to last a few weeks.

50s star Peter Marquis was nicknamed "Trunky".   I have no idea why.

[Demonstone 23,644]

OK, we're all a bit bored here so, further to that Peter Marquis post and veering completely off topic, I've gone the extra mile and come up with a cricket team for your consideration.

In batting order, they are Nathan Jones, David Hasselhoff, Sid Vicious, Shane MacGowan, Waylon Smithers, Peter Marquis, Damien Monkhorst, Bill Dunk, Lou Reed, Colin Miller and Scarlett Johansson.

Or, if you prefer, Chunky, Hunky, Punky, Drunky, Flunky, Trunky, Monkey, Dunky, Junky, Funky and Spunky.  Phew!

How about 'Fuchsia' for perhaps the greatest of them all?
