I can remember Alan Little being affectionately nicknamed 'The Animal' by Rovers fans when he played under Billy Bremner in the early 80's, due to his uncrompromising physical game & prescence in that midfield. Any others spring to mind?

Most embarrassing has to be 'Kiko' – what kind of name is that for a grown man? In Paul Dickovs post match after the Wednesday game you can hear him barely able to spit it out. Whats wrong with Fred?

Happens to be what Federico ( not FREDERICO note ) likes to be called

His nickname ------- " One Size" Fitz Hall.

Yep. I still call every keeper we have "Dennis"

Is it you that always says easy for Denis when rovers keeper makes a save lol

BobG · « **Reply #22 on** October 07, 2013, 10:21:30 pm by BobG »

He's not the only one says that Sam

I say it. A lot. Dennis was an institution all by himself in my teenage years and early 20's. He could be bloody awful - especially on Boxing Days, but the man actually was a pretty decent keeper. And he had style.The only other one I remember with style, albeit different, was Kim Book. He had a weird way of standing, with one heel on the ground and the rest of the foot cocked in the air right on the edge of his penalty area.

But it's easy for Dennis.

Oh! Who could forget the Wing Commander?!

Did Bruno have a nickname btw? Sort of chap who should have had one. Or was Bruno actually a nickname itself?!

My fave though is still Sumo. What a player! What a name!
