John Barnes was known as Tarmac, because he was the black Heighway.
We've had DangerBenno and Kenfold (Eóin Bennis and Ken Kilmurray), the Sammon of College (Conor Sammon), Batman (Philip Hughes; no-one knew who he was when he made his debut, so we called him the mysterious stranger and from there Batman) and a few others.
