Gary Beckett is naicknamed 'Bing' dont know why tho!
Two more old Blues nicknames to go with Snackbox and Chilli
Darren Lonergan - Baywatch (Blonde perm stood out on the field in 92/93)
Martin Quinlivan - Blossom (As far as I recall, all his brothers were called Blossom, hence the nickname)
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Derek "Stella" McCarthy
Homer: I'm gonna make sure these deliveries are made on time.
Bart: Let me come with you
Homer: Dont you have school!
Bart: Dont you have work!
Homer: Ah Touche!
thats what he drank (stella artois), and since barely anyone else drinks it in town they named him after it.
Ricky "Riverdance" O' Flaherty , because he was an all Ireland irish dancing champion as a young lad. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Some Galway United legends here:
Ryan Lucas was allegedly known as Tripod ( I wonder why)
Derek Rogers was called Buck Rogers (some folk may not know his real name is Derek)
Don O'Riordan was sometimes called Benjy (as in The Riordans on RTE Back in the 1970's)
Neil Oldgen was nicknamed Hilda (a reference to a character in Coronation Street)
Derek O'Brien is called Kerryman (he's from Tralee)

I remember 3 brothers following Athlone who went by the names of
Scratchy, Smelly and Stan. I only ever remember meeting Scratchy so can't vouch for the others. Did one of 'em end up in International Maanagement?
"oh my, that was some beer we had last night, I think I feel like getting sick" Effin Eddie
Scratchy still goes to a few games.
I didnt realise his brothers had nicknames too. Dont really know them
too well but one of them is (or was) big into karate so I wouldn't go
around calling him smelly
