One of nine new Academy scholars

I'm guessing you're flagging this one up due to his name? It seems to becoming more common. My son knew a lad in school called Tiger, and they played in the same football team together for years. It wasn't this guy, though.

There was also a boxer called Dick Tiger, but it looks like that was just a case of him changing his name for his profession.
I see what you mean though, seems it’s a name that’s becoming increasingly frequent, particularly for boys.
Tiger as in Woods was a nickname as well. His first name was actually Eldrick. Many years ago in the changing room at Royal Porthcawl he was listed as that on the team sheet for the Walker Cup back in the 1995.
What was that song called in the seventies by Mud?

He'll feel at home wearing a stripey kit.
I’d be lion if I said I’d heard of him.
There used to be Tobins from Port Talbot who followed the City.
I wonder if this young lad is from that way like the Colwill boys.
Anyone know of any lynx?
Fair play, it takes some doing to have the most notable name amongst a group that includes "Tank"
I had to paws for thought then !Quote:

For many years Treharris Athletic had a great midfielder called Tiger. Nickname not first name. But he was Joe Morrells uncle.Quote:

Bobby Tobin, prisoner of war as well as playing for the City post war.Quote:
