Players Nicknames

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

I've had a question from a Plymouth fan wanting to know any interesting nicknames for Southend players past or present.

Not sure why he wants to know but anyway it might make an interesting thread, so over to you .......

I did once hear a Southend fan call Phil Dudley 'Fiddly Diddly' but sadly this never caught on.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Phil Gridelet aka God

From his Barnsley days when he was their record signing and everyone knew he was there but no-one ever saw him.

 

[Gremlin]

I think Phil Gridelet's was "You're ****". Presumably a cockney rhyming slang type of thing.

 

[LCBB72]

My son said he heared Shane Westley call Frank Lampard , Pratt .

 

[amsemp]

Frank Nouble - Eeyore

 

[Bearded Shrimper]

Not Southend players but two of my favourite nicknames are
John Eales - Nobody as in nobody's perfect
Fitz Hall - one size

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Alex Revell--Red Rum

Bilel Mohsni--The Incredible Sulk

 

[Pubey]

Adam Barrett - John

 

[Firestorm]

Mark Hall - Four Foot F**k Hall nickname and an accurate discription
Piggy Stead
King Billy
We called Kevin O Callaghan Dead on arrival
Garry Nelson was Precious.
Other than King Billy , these were limited to a small group of us

 

[Napster]

Tosh - Carl Pettefer (because he drank like Tosh from the Bill)

 

[Richard Hearn]

In his first couple of seasons it was Kevin "Night" Mayer.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Are these nicknames that the fans call them, or between themselves?

If so, I imagine Simon Cox is called......wait for it.....













Coxy. :facepalm:

 

[Richard Hearn]

We called Kevin O Callaghan Dead on arrival

Whatever happened to the "Kevin O'Callaghan Memorial Deckchair"? He spent many games contentedly dozing on the touchline in that.

 

[LBBlue]

Steve "Inchy" Phillips
Merv "The Swerve" Cawston
Derek "Brylcreem Boy" Woodley
Alan "The Flying Pig" Foggon
Dave "Giraffe Neck" Young

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

I heard Paul Denny called 'Useless ****'...I assume that was his nickname.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Nile Ranger - Papillon, McVicar, OJ, Nelson Mandela

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

Oxley is Oxleyie

Keirnen is Keirnenie
Lenoard is Leonardie

[Blueronron]

Merv "The swerve" Cawston that brings back memories from the 80's

Remember Paul Clarke having the nickname "The Viking" when sported the beard and covered in mud on a cold winters mid week game

Or maybe it was then girlfriend fantasy dream :smile:

[MK Shrimper]

If MAF's isn't Cookie then I want to know why....of course that could be entirely racist (it's a minefield) so I'd let them off. :smile:
