Can someone tell me where David McKay got the nickname 'Swan' and whether or not he was called 'Swannie'?
From the Blueseum:
so he wasn’t able to claim a regular place in the side until after the Blues were beaten by Richmond in the ’69 Grand Final. Early in the following season, McKay was given a chance at centre half-back, and took to it “like a swan to water.”
No, he was never known as swannie from what I recall.
