Worst Snooker Nicknames

Postby mack501

Who do you think has the worst nickname in snooker from past and present?

Mine would be Kyren "The Warrior" Wilson,

Pocket Dynamo- Graeme Dott
The Welsh Potting machine
The Force - Peter Ebdon

"The Stamina Man" Ricky Walden

I think it was a Rob Walker made up one and didn't last too long. Thankfully.

Never liked the Darlin' of Dublin for Ken Doherty.

If whoever created that nickname did their research, they would find he was well down the list of beloved national sportsmen from Dublin during every stage of his career and that the enjoyment from his WC win in 1997 evaporated pretty quickly, so there was not a huge amount of interest in his career afterwards

The Pride of [insert town] always feels like forcing a nickname on a player they can’t think of anything for.

Jackpot Jack Lisowski’s not great.

Martin “The Pinner Potter” Gould is pretty rubbish too.

Why do they call him that?

Is he a friendly ghost?


I’m guessing because he was quite pale

David “Fade to” Gray would’ve been more apt

He was very pale.

Probably why he passed out in Thailand, in his underpants :chin:

Ebdon probably believes in the Force these days.

Rob 'The Milkman' Milkins is stupid. Particularly as his walk on is 'I am a cider drinker'.

Didn’t Ali Carter have a ridiculous nickname on his Wikipedia page?

The WPM or something
