“Stay in school, kids”
One for the ‘Things You Were Slow To Realise’ thread for me this. Blimey.
The footballer Shay Given used to be called Squed because he had a squarish head.
Along similar lines, i knew of a guy who was nicknamed Fivehead because of his receeding hairline.
Cruel really.
The one I heard years ago was that drinking insert least favourite beer was like making love in a boat as they were both fucking close to water.
I (honesty) read this as ‘fisting’
Lombardo being called the bald Eagle while at Palace was really very good

Good thread. Came here to post Fitz Hall but stayed for the bants.
Not quite a nickname and unfortunately another football one.
I remember James Richardson referring to Oliver Bierhoff on Football Italia, after a couple of poor seasons in Serie A, as a “friend of barn doors”.
Of course, James Richardson is just brilliant:
“Real Madrid, like salami, sliced open on the counter by the Dele-man.”
Not a nickname, don’t even care.

A couple of ATDs from the UK came to visit a couple of weeks ago and met my 2018Ds Dorien & Marjolein. They subsequently referred to them as Delorian and Marioland and just thinking about it still makes me chuckle.
