Surely that now belongs to Alex?
Was Webster not also called "Skull" once before? I presume because of his lack of hair. |

Bit lazy, I know, but there are some amusing entries here.
I particularly like "World Class Phil".

| Quote: | | Chunk - Allan Jacobsen. Not hard to guess the origin of this one. Comes from a long line of classic prop nicknames such as “Mighty Mouse” or “Teapot”. |
Chunk has been called that since he was a wee boy, as his favourite film was "The Goonies", and his family thought he looked like Chunk in that.
| Quote: | | Mossy - Chris Paterson seems to get called this regularly. Anyone know the origin of this? (see Bill’s comment below for more) |
Called after his favourite cartoon character. |

The only difference I can see is that the Jamaican fellow isn't as 'fleet of foot' as our 'Bolt'........ |

Indeed all we need is "Bolt" to get the Apollo archer pose after scoring and it will be obvious to all! |
