Me and my mate used to call Hughes ''get up'' as in ''Get up Hughes''.

Think this started at the home game against Hull - he kept slipping over in the first half.

 

We also shout ''Big Issue'' whenever Greeno has the ball.

Desmond - Etuhu

Rain Man - Rehman

[mystic megson 0]

The Ginger Octopus - Gary Doherty, due to his alarming habit of wrapping quicker opponents in a warm embrace on the edge of the penalty area.

[mystic megson 0]

"Yellow Shirt" - Daryl Sutch, because of his reputation for what the pundits call "wayward distribution".  More of an instruction really.

[Huddy 0]

I  still nickname the river end "The library" because of the lack of atmosphere etc.

Have called Craig Fleming "Bob" for 9 years after the coughing gardener in the Fast Show.  ''ello there, Barb Fleming ''ere.

In the Prem last season we had Bob and Bobby at centre half.  Fleming and Charlton. 

 

When Damo first joined we called him the horse - due to the way he would break up play and go galloping forward over the half way line.  mmm, those where the days when midfielders did that.

I like to refer to Carl Robinson as a traffic warden.  Bloody useless but always trying to direct things.  Have you seen him during a game with his arms flailing around.
