Humphrey Appleby 13,942 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Of course the Americans of the 80s & 90s always seemed to have Nicknames...some quite bizarre! There was 'Boogolo' Schwartz, 'Jellyman' Moran, 'Miracle Worker' Moran, 'Rocket' Ron, 'Cowboy' Cook, 'Bullet' Hamill etc etc (did Penhall ever have a nickname?) And of course the best of the lot...'Five Flavours' Pfetzing! There was also 'Super' Simon Wing, 'Marvellous' Marvyn Cox, Jens 'Rambo' Rasmussen, and of course 'The Main Dane' Hans Nielsen.

tyretrax 2,252 Posted January 9, 2017 Salty, was Pete Jarman (P.L.J.) not the Lemon Drop Kid? Geordie Hunter was the Ladybank Express as he came from Ladybank in Fife, I think Ian Hoskins also Christened him the Spam Kid as he ate Spam rolls from the tea bar at Old Meadobank.
