Snooker Call Name Game

Postby Noel

Having thought and posted about how inappropriately childish calling a player
Zhang "Zhanger" Anda really is ... not just because it sounds stupid, according to
one Chinese member, it labels this player in the most diminutive sense. Sucks to him.

Soooooo.... what do we think are better "call names" for our most favourite players...
[ eg. Ronnie "The Pwn Prince" O'Sullivan ] least favourite [ eg. Shaun "Pukka Pie" Murphy ]
or most disappointing [ Ricky "Where's Waldo" Waldren ].

This is the current World Snooker list... I'm going to work on mine.
Be loving or hating, be serious or funny... be supportive or be cruel... whatever... be honest...
I hope this "call name game' might reveal some real insight into how you and I and us all
feel about the character, the history of, the personae of the top players we enjoy watching so much.
