Lets see how many Nicknames we can come up with from the Past and Present players that have played for our great club, if there is more than one nickname for each player add that next to the players name.
Rules are simple
first poster mentions a players name, next poster to answer and name the players nickname, then to supply another players name, for the next poster to answer
and on and on it goes. As the number of nicknames grows
.I will do a tally of them all at regular intervals
So I shall start

Sugarfoot was the hero in a '60's western series, characterised by not wearing a sixgun and never combing his hair. Whilst, to the best of my knowledge, Zueschner similarly didn't carry a sixgun, his hair was a bit of a mess, and I'm pretty sure that's where the nickname came from.
