Argyle fan here on a mission to track down as many of the original witty and humorous player nicknames created by fans both past and present.

Am also interested in any Blades candidate for Psycho/Trigger/Beast and Animal/Tank and the like which so many clubs seem to have.

I guess should also ask if you have any pet names for Wendies players as well although again am seeking the absurd rather than the offensive...although they could be both

Thanks in advance

Peter

Not a nickname really but I remember when Tony Philliskirk made his debut, overhearing two blokes on the kop:

'Who's that new lad?'

'Dunno, Tony Fishcake or summat'.
