Plymouth fan in peace here
On holiday I started looking at player nicknames and am on a mission to find the best/most apt and hunourorus nicknames past and present.
So I have a Split Pin, a Raspberry, a pair of pre war centre halves known as Death and Glory as well as the obvious One Size and Kris Musampa....
Also interested to know if every club has a Beast a Psycho and or. aTrigger
Look forward to the Town response and don't forget we have just broken the Norwich keeper...he was excellent though!! |  | | |  |

Richard Naylor was nicknamed Psycho many moons ago.
I don't think we do humourous nicknames. See Waggy for Waghorn.
However the local paper always used to prefix some payers names with their former professions, like former nappy salesman Neil Thompson, and Simon Milton who I'm sure was a panel beater or something similar. |  |

Way back in the early 60s the great Jimmy Leadbetter was Sticks on account of his spindly legs. |  | | |

I remember Jim Magilton calling Richard Naylor, Bam Bam on radio Suffilk one day, which was what the players called him. |  | | |

Mick 'wind' Mills, George 'Hurly' Burley, Paul 'Ancient' Mariner, Frans 'Mike' Thijssen, Eric 'Garden' Gates, Clive 'Babes in the' Woods.... |
Mariner...still the best player I have ever seen in Plymouth colours...saw him score two v Rochdale in 1973 on his debut and thought wow!
Strangely enough the fans always expected him to go to better things...there was much more of an outcry when we sold Billy Rafferty yo Wolves for peanuts.
We did get stitched up....Terry Austin was a trier but needed to get off the fags...and Peddelty was class at that level but suffered an awful skull fracture and retired....the rest of the cash we wasted!
We are probably more miffed at Chuck Norris being poached the week we played you.....
Most Argyle fans my age(ish) effectively made Ipswich their second team when Mariner went there....and I still watch for your results to this day for no other reason...
Anyway we have the Dockyard Derby to fixate upon with mahoosive Pompeii and their Mickey Mouse owners
So those last few ...real or just a few thrown together | | | |

Actually, he had two nicknames. Bam bam and psycho. When shouting his name it was always "Psycho! Psycho! Psycho!". Weren't any "songs" for Bam Bam.
Was on the front of TWTD as psycho when we did his interview.

Ian Atkins, he was the Psycho.
Jason De Vos was alway, always, always called The Wizard by the fans here, as in The Wizard De Vos. |  |

...but nobody else.
It's like Frederick David Sears being called "Crap" by the fans, but "Freddie" by everyone else. | |

Hmm...you missed Norris?
He was very ordinary here - a bustling, box-to-box midfield player who did have a few goals in him. some of his time at Town was wasted by him being played wide right, when he couldn't beat a man or cross a ball to save his life. |  |

My favourite nickname for a town player, was David Pear who played a few games for us in defence in the 70's. After a couple of limp performances in which he pulled out of a few tackles he became known by the nickname 'Grower'. | |

Dai Rees - Centre half in the 50s was called"Tank" The players called Whymark "Skids" - no idea why. Osman was called "Speedwagon" - presumably because of the way he drove. | | | |
