Northeners never took to him as he was seen as a "Southern Jessie"

He was one of the best "finishers" the game has ever seen.

If you're looking at nickmanes Mac ................. I remember a Jamaican guy who worked on Liverpool docks. He was well black, so they called him "Midnight". His mate was a little lighter in colour, so he was known as ......... "Half-Past Eleven" :o)

[NoMercy]

Sorry... but lol !

[McMouse]

Thats brilliant hopelessly politically incorrect but the funniest thing on here today...well apart from Redman telling everyone we were in a hotel last night.. I'll get him for that later

[NoMercy]

I remember this leacherous guy in a wheelchair. There was nowt wrong with him, he just wanted to get benefits.

I used to call him "Feels on Wheels."

My aunt used to call him "Ironside."

[The Builder]

I love politically incorrect........... especially when it's inverted. I have some good Asian friends .............. when I join them for a drink, they insist that I become an "honorary Asian" ................... cool

[The Builder]

NoMerc has reminded me of the old, old joke ......................

"What do you get when you cross a Ugandan dictator with a wheelchair ........... "

"Amin Called Ironside"

[NoMercy]

"Chariots" Offiah´s other name was "Great Balls"......Martin Offiah, well educated, black, tall rugby player, played Rugby Union for Rosslyn Park and then turned professional to join Widnes Rugby League Club where he was never very happy. He was transferred to Wigan where he became a prolific scorer of tries and also for Great Britain.

the Waugh twins played cricket for Australia - Steve became captain and was known as Tugga, geddit, but Mark was called Afghan... the forgotten Waugh.
