favourite Player Nicknames 18:53 - Aug 16 with 2337 views | pafcprogs | Greetings Whilst completely bored on holiday I found some click bait on nicknames "One Size" Fitz hall, Chris Musamapa and my favourite for John Eales the Aussie Rugby player " Nobody" because Nobody's perfect In amongst the plethora of Triggers Psychos and Animals it got me thinking of what funny, apt original and insulting names there have been. I'd be grateful if there a re any good Dale ones you could recount ( with explanations if required for the non Blue amongst us. Cheers Peter | | | | |

Not sure what Brad thought of it. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
