I may be wrong on this ,i went to school in Hammersmith in the late 60's early 70's, Eccles was a local legend, we were a few years younger, but a couple of the older kids in school who were shed boys claimed it came from the character played by Spike Milligan on the Goon Show . No idea why he used the name though, my impression was it came when Danny and some of the others mucking around, and it just stuck . No idea if this was true though, just one of the many stories that did the rounds .
