Title says it all really, what are the best/funniest Torquay player nicknames you have heard since you've supported the Gulls?
Tarzan, The Fridge, Zorro?

One that always tickled me was Steve Adams being referred to as "The Ghoul" as he was so pale

Slightly off topic I know but maybe the source of a separate post. I remember watching the gulls playing Watford some years ago and a Watford fan yelling out 'You're second class, Stamps' referring to a defensive blunder by our own (and talented, in my opinion)
Scott Stamps, also ' we've got you licked' Stamps made I larf! :~D

I like the idea that player of similar build in Christie and Howe have completely different nicknames based on their apparent ability
Fridge = Heavy and holds food.
Tank = Major weapon that is threatening.
Maybe one day, Carayol will find London...

It's got to be Derek 'The Dude' Dawkins!!
Also, maybe not the best nickname, but I recall Kevin Dearden being known as 'The Flying Pig'! He he.
Mmmmmm, beeeeeeeer.
