Hi

 

Argyle fan here on a mission to identify the classic and current witty nicknames  for players/managers

 

Going round the Clubs it seems Dave for Azpilecueta is universally popular/copied...also found another couple of Choppers...

Sideshow Bob is also perfect for Luiz....

 

Love to hear any of the more obscure and apt ones you may have....also any candidates for Beast/Trigger/Psycho which most clubs seem to have...

 

Cheers 

 

Peter

 

Geezer for Luiz also

I always refer to Kante as 'The Kante Twins'

When Kante signed for us I saw someone on a Leicester forum call him 'N'Grateful Kunte'. Thought that was pretty funny.

Me and my mate have gone one step further and refer to the Kante Brothers. There’s a reason he has 7 on his back...

Batshuayi is Batsman. From yesteryear we have The Bison for Essien. 

I can’t remember any more.
