Never knew till today that they are also nicknamed the Bluebirds !
On the topic of nicknames. Has any other club had a manager that has the same name as the clubs nickname as Walsall have today ?
I think there a few calling themselves in various leagues in British football.
Haverfordwest are another.
Not quite what you’re asking, but former Coventry goalkeeper Bill Glazier started his career at Crystal Palace whose old nickname is the Glaziers.Quote:

I see Mark Robins had a loan spell at Bristol City.
I'm sure you're right there. Back in the time when they played Huntley and Palmer as a strike duo, had Gary Baldi pulling the strings in midfield, and Jamie Dodger in goals. Those great days before Lewis Dunk redefined British football!Quote:
