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?

The Fridge is a good one haha.

Branstonbauer

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

The Fridge-Iysden Christie
The Sieve-Lee Andrews
The Tank- Rene Howe

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.

The Hobbit.

Slightly cruel, but very apt.

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.

Mustapha 'Christmas' Carayol
Ian 'Hugh' Morris
Billy 'Car' Kee

Tommy Mitchinson - The General (of Plainmoor)

John Bond - The Muffin Man

Andy Donnelly - Handy Andy

Trojan - Wee Willy Winky

Southampton Gull ...... Red Big Neck

I'm sure in one of the games i went to i heard Mansell shout to Robertson "Weasley! Get back, get back!"
