    2016 player nicknames

    I have a couple I use .. Maybe we can find a few diamonds in the rough.
    caleb Daniel= the candy man
    Jack Redpath = the widow maker
    A few obvious ones with the Bont and the glove, the package and the specimen or grizz.
    Any favourites or others we know of or ones we have for them?

    Joel Hamling = The Hammer Of The Dogs

                  Do we want to know why?

                          Josh Dunkley is Ken Doll according to Easton Wood.
                          Caleb was called CD by Dunkley

                            Last year in one of Toby McLean's early games, he ran to the 50 for a shot at goal and my old man was searching for his name....and forgetting 'Toby'...exclaimed "Knackers McLean!!!" as Toby kicked the goal.

                            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.
