    They were so low they didn't even get off the ground.

    I see some of the passes he pulls off today and think 'why did you never do this when you we getting 40 touches a game?'

        The constant references and jokes about Caleb Daniel's height irk me, but not enough to keep me from going "Halfman" like he's actually Tyrion on the Blackwater every time he gets the ball.

          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

              See Post number 32.

              Horsack was a character on a TV show from the 1970s called Welcome back Kotter, which also starred John Travolta

                That is the one and only Arnold Horshack from the 70's Tv show, Welcome Back Cotter.

                  For whatever reason, that has stuck a bit for us, and I've laughed hearing other people in our area at home games lauding the efforts of "Knackers".

                  So for a very unofficial nickname.....I submit Knackers McLean.

                  Others we subscribe to are;

                  Suckling = Piggy or The Pig.
                  Caleb Daniel = just "Little Bloke!" (but always in an appreciative way!)
                  Honeychurch = SWEET JESUS!
                  Hamling = Hammer

                  And Adcock is called "ROCKLIFF!!" with us on account of a friend getting the names wrong.
                  That's quality Dad brand.

                            Could say the same for Libber... How about the extractor and the tractor ?

                              OK, why do they call Matthew Boyd "Keith"??
                              More of an In Bruges guy?

                                It's his middle name.
