OK, this must be done, as I am more hyper than a kid on red cordial.

Brad Symes is obviously Eddie, after Eddie Munster

For Troy Chaplin, I like Horse in reference to the Trojan horse

Michael Pettigrew - Gruesome? Or just Grew as our Goo replacement.

Luke Peel - Orange, Mandarin.

Robert Forster-Knight - Sir Robert will do me.

Other suggestions? :D

Brad Symes is definately Eddie.

For Luke Peel...it will sound a bit wierd yelling out 'great goal Orange' or 'well done Mandarin' so, because his name can be linked to many different fruits....why not call him 'fruity'?? Or if a specfic fruit is required, I'd prefer Banana, then we can shorten it to 'nana and then we can sing the naaaaaaaaaa naaa naaaa nanina naaaaaa part of Hey Jude after his goals.

Pettigrew - Splinter v2.0

Forster-Knight - Bomber or Sir Robert.

Robert Forster-Knight = I'm thinking either Major or flag

You're asking why the hell those nicknames? easy, MAJOR Isreal Foster's family held the Forster-Knight flag in their possession for many years after the American War of Independance.

This is the Forster Knight flag

Information came from THIS website
