Following on from another conversation elsewhere on the forum, what are the most innovative and funny nicknames you’ve heard over the years?
Former QPR defender Fitz Hall's nickname - One Size. I thought that was a good 'un.
Another I always liked - former Everton, Wrexham and Swansea keeper Dai Davies, who won more than 50 caps for Wales in the 70's and 80's but often looked like a disaster waiting to happen - Dai the Drop.
Sussex County Cricket Club had two brothers who played for them last century. They were called Antony and Mike Buss. Their nicknames were: ' Omni,' and, 'Trolley.'

Newcastle fans playing on the Welsh tradition of putting ‘the’ into a nickname like Dai the Milk, Ivor the Post etc christened outstanding Welsh centre forward, Wyn Davies, Wyn the Leap.
A bloke got sacked from work with me for pinching money, he was from Yorkshire,
He was nicknamed the 'Yorkshire dipper'
Heard of a bloke who'd had a toe amputated so had the nickname Kodak.
(He only had 4 toes)
I grew up with a lad who had a terrible toileting accident when we were about 6, in school. He was forever known as 'Shitty Darren' Harsh.
There’s some real crackers in here
My nickname growing up was Sydney (Syd) purely because my Nan brought me a T-shirt with Sydney on it back from Australia. Simple ones are the best haha
We had quite a lot of people from overseas at my last job, including two Spaniards called Juan. One was Juan and the other was Juan 2.
Some good ones here but Kiki "Chris" Musampa is a "cracker"!

Allan Lamb was known as Legga. Martin Offiah....Chariots.
Lynn Davies, Gold Medal Long Jump 1964 Tokyo Olympics
Lynn the Leap (into immorality)
Lethal Steve lynex
We had a bloke in our darts team who had his ear pierced about 6 or 7 times (not by darts - for earrings)
His ear looked like a curtain rail, so we called him "Swish"
I don't know whether it's just my kids' school, but they don't seem to bother with nicknames any more. Virtually everyone had a nickname in my day - Donk, Ghostie, Yosser, Fritz, Beano, Sheep, Pidge, Egon, Flash, Dopey, Bun'ead...
Young people today!
Rugby player Billy Twelvetrees was known as '36' due to the way one of his Irish accented team mates pronounced his surname.
Someone online worked with a bloke called Wayne Bruce so they called him Man Bat.
John Earles the Australian rugby player was called "no body".
As in nobody is perfect as he was so good.
I remember during the Keegan era at Newcastle, that Lee Clark was referred to as ‘Jigsaw’ by his teammates, as he went to pieces in the box.
Live fast... Dai Young
