Maybe Radzi wishes Ronnie was his 'private dancer'...

I'm actually surprised that Rob Walker didn't make any play on Judd's surname over last few years. You know call him the president or something stupid like that.

I guess it wouldn't work now. Please welcome the ex president would be kinda crap.

Is he an ex-president? I have heard no concession from the incumbent (and he's there til mid-January anyhow...)

True he's there until January. He's booby trapping the white house home alone style as we speak

You mean the discredited Johnny Bravo, late of this island?

Maybe they didn't want to associate Judd with such a divisive figure as Donald Trump. Or maybe Judd didn't want them to do it. You do hear of times when players don't like their nicknames and ask to change them.

There was a heavyweight boxer in the 90s who went by the nickname of 'the President' - Ike Ibeabuchi.

He is now serving jail time for serious sexual offences...

Omen?

Good point. It would be unfair to associate a sportsman with such a controversial and divisive figure. It's just that sometimes Rob Walker really goes to the bottom of the barrel to try get a nickname or a rhyme to introduce a player. So I can't say I would have been very surprised. Certainly it was better left untouched.

Gosh, I’m shocked.

That's a cracker.

Following an episode of Bottom with Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall where they steal a wooden leg, pawn it, and put all the money on a badly tipped horse, Ken Doherty has always been 'Sad Ken' in my family.

Marco Fu is 'Marco, I pity the Fu'

Tony Drago is 'Tony Durago', only because my brother in law knows nothing about snooker, pretends he does, and that is who he says his favorite player is when asked.

My wife used to have a rhyming nickname for Paul Hunter, but she rarely uses it since he died.
