Afc Nicknames

[tup]

After considering the genius of 'Clangers', a truly cracking nickname for a goalkeeper, previously known as 'Langers', who is prone to the odd monumental cock-up or 150, I started considering other cracking nicknames I've heard over the years at our games.

 

'The Elephant Man' - self explanatory - Davie Dodds.

 

'Bandy' - suspected ricketts early doors - Jim Leighton.

[Big Man]

'Dingus' - Mark McGhee

'Zeus' - John Inglis.

'Big Eck' - Alex McLeish.

 

Mainly because:

 

- he's big.

- his name is Alex, which can be said as Alec, or Eck for short in the north east in particular.

 

Hence 'Big Eck'.
