anybody else feel like giving us the lowdown on where they got their foot.ie name from.
there are a few unexplained beauties out there

Been called a few things in my time, but never an "Unexplained beauty".

Mine's name's easy enough. As a comic book anorak wearer I went for Green Goblin, Spiderman's arch enemy. There have been a few Irish superheroes over the years (There's an X-MAN called Banshee, for e.g.), but the GG just sounded right for foot.ie
"Green", obvious enough, and "Goblin" purely for the inuendo value.

Mine is from the "That Guy" character in futurama, the guy frozen in the 80's who is like Gordon Gekko from Wall Street!

Your welcome.

It's my real name. On forums where a certain degree of anonymousity is required I go under the moniker Nocturnal Me. Sounds goth and refers to my favourite band Echo & The Bunnymen.

I also had Forbidden Snowflake on one forum long ago, and Tsunami at one where nicknames had a max length of 10 characters (my cat is named Tsunami and it's a nice song by the Manics)

A few of the users on here knew my older sister first then met me and so i was called babysis. So when I joined foot.ie, it seemed the right username

Funny how that happens! I used to play hockey (I know...

) in UCD - I was known as Burko...because that's (nearly) my name. My sister started playing for the firsts a couple of years later and was MiniBurko. I stopped playing three or four years ago, but she's still called Mini, and I'd say most of the people who call her that haven't a clue why! I've even been introduced to people as "the original Burko"!

Mine's a bit similar to Drumcondra red and Raheny red's except I'm from Sligo and I'm(well nearly

) a man

My second name is Ambrose which a friend in school changed to Amby to Hammy to Hamish in the space of a few seconds. The West Ham factor helped.

There wasn't much he could do with Noel.

I was also called Sir Alf by my mates in the local footie club. When they heard about Hamish they dropped the Alf bit and called me Sir Hamish.

Eventually, Sir bit was quickly dropped and I've been called Hamish since I was 13.

Had to reactivate the "Sir" bit when I got a computer 'cos someone already had Hamish taken.

Kids in school called me Archie after Archie Gemmill when they saw me play for the local football club.

did you score a goal reminiscent to gemill against holland in 78 once?
