not sure whether these were the fans names or what the teammates called em, also only gone for nicknames not just shortened name;

olduns

'nobby' - peter houseman (actually he was also called 'mary' too), 'cat' peter bonetti. 'sponge' Tommy baldwin...............quite a lot in that era for some reason

newuns

'jt' - bit of a fiddle but counts, 'quickdraw' - ashley cole (I made that up), 'calamity' - kalou,

must be more in recent times?

In recent times, The Bison, Lamps and Big Pete are some of the best ones I can think of.

However, if all clubs are taken into account, Soggy Biscuits (Busquets) totally nails it! ;)

Ray Wilkins, The Crab because everything went sideways.

Oh yeah his brother Graham used to be called &***@@** or similar

Edited by Nitro

Eddie Niedzwiecki = Steady Eddie

Doug Rougvie = Doug Rubbish

Pat Nevin = The wee man

Tony Cascarino = The Icecream man

Andy Myers = Tyson

Gareth Hall = Albert

David Lee = Rodney

Those are some I recall.

Oh and wasn't Graham Stuart called Bobby?

Used to love Fitz Hall`s nickname, "one size". Genius.

Love that one too.

Along the same lines was the player Musampa, who obviously became known as "Chris"!!

"Chopper" Harris

But why was he known as "Chopper" the longest in the shower story .............................or his playing style ???????

I still like

haventaf*ckin Kalou

Edited by Tea Bar Boy

Wrong sport but I used to play Rugby league with a bloke we nicknamed turnstyle, because his defence was so bad he basically let people through...
