The Nicknames Thread

Post any nicknames that are used for players here, should make life easier for some people who don't know which players are being talked about ... keep them relatively clean Here's a few to start off:

Ronnie O'Sullivan = The Rocket
Steve Davis = The Nugget
Joe Swail = The Outlaw
Neil Robertson = Robbo, Jono
Shaun Murphy = The Magician
Martin Gould = FBW
Judd Trump = The Ace In The Pack, The Juddernaut, Bristol Ragdoll
Mark Selby = The Jester from Leicester

Jono Lancaster = a blunder means his face hangs down under

FBW

Chris Moyles not having a clue who Judd is refered to him as Judge Trump

'The Judge'

My little girl calls Mark Selby 'Handsome Mark'. I don't know where she got it from I'm going to campaign to get his name changed to that on here, like the little kittens thing (that's for a bad word, right?)

Witz

WITZ

Got to agree with all of Witz's nicknames

I don´t have any actual nicknames proposals but you can get some really funny headlines after matches considering player´s names. Here´s some I can remember during the years:

Ford motors 147
White too bright for Gray
Even Stevens (after session ended draw)
Sick as a Parrot
Day lasts hour (after O´Sullivan took just 58 minutes to beat him 5-0)
Bond is back !
Licence to pot
On Song
Rocket lifts from the launch pad
Captain in cruise control
Murphy´s law

Here´s a list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sn ... _nicknames

What I found quite funny are:

Ken Doherty - The Ranelagh Rascal
Dave Harold - Pride of the Potteries
Andy Hicks - The Toast of Tavistock
Marcus Campbell - Dumbarton Destroyer



On a personal note, funny coincidence is that being a huge fan of snooker, my birthday is 14.7. So taking the dot off, it´s 147. These are just those funny coincidences life throws at you

One i always remember is - Higgins out as Marco goes Fu

Stephen Hendry - 5 SEASON WONDER

what are you on is that supose to be a insult i find that a compliment in only 5 season hendry became the greatest whitch nobody has yet come close to in more seasons

^

It was actually 6 seasons - 7 if you count the UK and Masters from 89

and regarding top 16 nobody been there longer in a row.

As Ronnie says who gives a buck about rankings

I'M FLOATING VERY HIGH, SO HIGH ABOVE THE SKY .............

yea Steve Davis getting back in to top 16 was pointless who the buck gives a rubbish.

Ronnie may say that in public but I know for a fact he is bothered about staying in the top 16 and has been following the rankings extremely closely all season.
