Favorite All-Time Football Player Nicknames

What R UR favorite all-time football players' nickname?
They can be from anytime throughout the history of football to anybody in the present.

One of my All-Time favorites is Rocket Ismail because people would use "Rocket" like it was his real name since it almost sounds like his real name, Raghib, and the nickname did fit his "blazing, unmatched speed" on the field.

Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack

 

Gunslinger

It should be where the heck is Brett throwing this time.

 

William "The Refrigerator" Perry...classic.

 

Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch

 

He Hate Me

 

^^He hate me!!! That still cracks me up .

Ed "Too Tall" Jones (he wouldn't be "too tall" if he played nowadays...)

 

This is more toward more then one player the Skins in the 1980's "The Smurfs"


Gary Clark, Alvin Garrett, and oddly enough Charlie Brown

At 6'9" he'd still be too tall..lol

 

Rod Smart explained the origin of the grammatically unsound phrase in a January 30, 2004 article with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as, "Basically, my brother's my opponent. After I win, he's gonna hate me. It is what it is. It's a saying I was saying when I'd feel something wasn't going my way. For example, (when) I was on the squad in Vegas and coach was putting other guys in, (i)f I felt I'm better than them, you know, hey, 'he hate me.' See what I'm saying? Give me a chance. That's all I ask. It came from the heart. Within. The way I felt."

That's definitely one of the best...


Another good one...Christian "The Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye

 

Craig "Iron Head" Heyward, and one of my fav. Reggie White "The Minister of Defense"

 

twinky 'Night Train' Lane.

 

Gary Clark wasn't a smurf;)

Ickey Woods.

Guess he wasn't ..he should have been as short as he was...he got there later..sorry :( but he could have been one..shortassed mofo..

 

The Galloping Ghost...I believe that was Red Grange, wasn't it?

 

Yeah, that was Red Grange, a Hall of Famer, here's another HOFer with a dope nickname....

Bob "Boomer" Brown

 

Didn't Ted Hendricks have a funny one as well? The Mad Stork or something?

 

Yeah, that was his nickname, he was a great player, but how the heck can you take a guy serious with a nickname like that...
