Players Nicknames. The Good, the Bad and the Weird

[Mumby Magic]

Listening to the commentary the other week the Fevs Mckenzie Yei is nicknamed motorway as he has 2 hard shoulders made me laugh. Plus wasn't Menzie Yere nicknamed he Jukebox at Sheffield. 

Speaking if PNG players we'vesigned Keven Appo. Any ideas of a Nickname for him?

 

[Futtocks]

From the past, Scott "Foo" Quinnell, Paul "The Buttock" Sironen and Brad "Adol" Fittler.

[Gomersall]

Frank Paul the beach ball.

[Old Frightful]

Alan Hunte, after a fairly poor time at Hull FC despite being on big money, was nicknamed "Isaac".

Enough said.

[Jimmy DoNut]

Loads in Australia, 'Cement' Gillespie, 'Blocker' Roach, 'Bert' Kenny, 'ET' Ettingshausen & loads more. My favourite Glen Lazarus 'The Brick with Eyes'. And Terry Lamb 'Legga'.

In UK, Rob Roberts 'Two Bobs'.

No, not Carroll. There was a useless Aussie import who was definitely nicknamed Skud, after the missile

When it comes to Aussie sporting stars nicknamed "Scud", Mark Philippoussis makes searching on the internet for anyone else hard.

But are you thinking of Mick Seaby? The big lump signed from Brisbane?
