Nick Names

[BN9 BHA]

When I was a young lad in the 1960’s my granddad used to come back from the pub and my mum often asked if he had given any money to Spastic Bob. It was only later that I discovered that Bob didn’t have any disability at all, he just collected the money for the Spastics Society Football Pontoon each week.

That is funny!

That's good. Might ask my girlfriend to call me Sledge. That'll keep her on her toes.

My team were training in the park one summer, and a lad came and asked if he could join in. He never actually introduced himself, but he was wearing an AC Milan top with 'Weah' on the back, so we called him Georgie. For the next 12 years.

I swear, that (because I had to fill out the team sheets) I was the only one who ever actually knew his real name.

We had two Daves at a place I worked so the young one got called Rodney, (Only Fools and Horses in reverse) older Dave left but young one was still known as Rodney so when a real Rodney joined he had to be called Dave, which he was already fairly used to on account of Only Fools and Horses.
My favourite nicknames in sport are Fitz Hall's "One size" and Martin Offiah's "Chariots".

I remember working in the council parking ticket office as a temp many years ago, and there was one traffiic warden everyone called 'Dirty Harry' as he would often go out of his jurisdiction to get results, sometimes even working on Christmas day to get the job done. He also had no friends.

I've always wondered what the ex Crewe footballer Kenny Lunt's nickname was amongst his team mates.

(Though being footballers, they probably just called him "Lunty")

I used to know one of your lot who was known as "Arnold" after "Arnold Lane...had a strange hobby" after an unfortunate discovery of women's knickers in his locker at the nick.

That explains something I overheard in a pub in Warrington a few years back. Two ladies were discussing a catfight they had witnessed the previous evening and I swear I heard one say "oh aye, an' then she hoofed er right in the Kenny" . Mystery solved. Thanks Edna.

A very similar thing happened when I was at school whereby a chap became known as George.

It started with 'George' playing football with a group of us after school one day. In the group of us there was a mix of year 10's and 9's who lived in the same area so we all knew each other fairly well. 'George' himself was in year 9 but none of our year 9's knew him due to the fact he was in the opposite half of the school and was a very quiet lad. Anyway, 'George' never introduced himself he just asked to join in one day and that was that. I don't know why, but someone decided to call him George when asking for a pass and from then on it just stuck, as everyone assumed that because one of us had called him George that was his name. 'George' never corrected anyone, and it wasn't until we started acknowledging him around school as George that we clocked on. Not because 'George' didn't respond to us calling him George, but because his mates would snigger at him whenever we said it.

Sooner or later it transpired his name was actually Jamie. But instead of returning him with his real name, from then on we referred to him as Tits, because he was a fat little ****er with hefty man boobs that juggled like a dogs sack does when it hares around the park for a bunk up.

I think he preferred George.

Poor **** is probably scarred for life.

When I started uni I was introduced to a friends mate in another halls as "BJ". His name was James and on the first day after moving into halls he was called "Big James" by someone on account of him being tall. He was only called this nickname by our group of mates, and eventually the nickname evolved into him being called "Beej" by all of us which we still do.
