Thanks, CG.

Just a thought, but surely James Craig can't continue to be called Craigy? Seems .. well .. blasphemous, somehow...

I hope you don't mind if I wait on confirmation before I edit a couple of these into the list, WALL-e?

Had to get rid of the fancy colours in my OP, editing was a nightmare.

 

[WALL-e]

Not at all.

 

[dougie26]

Tony 'Torres' Armstrong

 

[cmndstab]

No Wall-E, Reiwoldt is Martin's bitch, not the other way around

 

[WALL-e]

No Wall-E, Reiwoldt is Martin's bitch, not the other way around

[Encanto]

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but anyway in the 1975 movie Jaws the main character (played by Roy Scheider) was Police Chief Martin Brody, surely Brodie Martin's nickname should come from this movie, maybe Chief, Jaws or Shark.

 

[Witty Remark]

I've heard via radio interview that Gra Johncock prefers "Reg" to "Stiffy". Also stated in his player profile in a footy record last year.

Stiffy it is then .

 

[Symesy15]

I've heard via radio interview that Gra Johncock prefers "Reg" to "Stiffy". Also stated in his player profile in a footy record last year.

Just like Walker prefers Whacky to Tex and Brad Moran hates being called Bob, but unfortunately, people don't get to choose their own nickname, hence why it's Stiffy, Tex and Bob

 

[jenny61_99]

Didn't Tyson Edwards used to get "phoon"?
