Time For Nicknames?

Recommended Posts

That's the stuff!

 

It all just needs a bit more imagination and thinking outside the box.

Nicknames have got so boring and predicatable.

 

For example - rather than Scott "Scotty" Nicholls - make it Scott "The Suffolk Punch" Nicholls

And how about Adam "Meccano" Roynon?

Scott was always 'Hot Shot' in his younger days

Makes for interesting chants and war cries, though...

Back in the days when the Glasgow riders travelled on the coach to away meetings Phil Jeffrey was struck down with a bout of food poisoning. He was given a bucket to be sick into and instantly became Phil "The Bucket" Jeffrey. :approve::cheers:

Roy Clark, the Newcastle centre green presenter, who also did the 4's at Peterborough last year, has nicknames for all the home riders, and occasionally away riders as well. Ruthless Robert Lambert has now taken it on board and now uses him nickname in his twitter and interviews he does. Lightning Lindgren for Ludde, Magic Man Matej Kus, Blond Bombshell Palovaara, Superman Stevie Worrall, Kid Kong Danny Phillips, BCB Ashley Morris, The Kerminator Lewis Kerr, Dynamite Lewis Rose, Silver Fox Leigh Lanham, Rebel Richie Worrall, etc. Makes a change, and he sticks with their nicknames in all his commentaries/interviews.

Robert was "Ruthless" before he ever joined Newcastle.

The Lean Green Racing Machine that is - Andrew Tully.

 

Roy's best one ever in my opinion. I still laugh about it today. Some of us used to chant along with him when he was saying it.

 

GREAT FUN!!!

Used to have them at Peterborough too. Not really my cup of tea but may well appeal to kids etc.

 

Seems to work quite well with darts so perhaps would in the SGP in future?

 

Craig Saul been doing it for years at Peterborough. Riders used to be introduced as such and the have their own tune which was used during their victory lap. Always worked well but the presentation is mostly inconsistent and dull these days so it could be worth doing again? Better than telling us what we've just seen as they pass the chequered flag, or another tedious invisible pit interview.

I think Robert Lambert should be "The Ruthless Binman".

 

The rubbish is always out front first but he's quick to collect them all up

Remember seeing him in a race with Martin Dugard where he was attempting to pass up the inside and raised his front wheel and calmly moved it over Dugard's back mudguard to re-manourvre himself to the outside!
