Mine would be Kyren "The Warrior" Wilson,
Pocket Dynamo- Graeme Dott
The Welsh Potting machine

"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.

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

Haircut 100 were a good band but probably not the best nickname for the young teenage star of 25 years later.

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