Most of the formentioned banned at the request of the wanker who vowed to never return yet started this thread? Just a guess...

Bro, Fowl, Ferret, Mudgee Mudhead, Filthy Ralph, Bonkers in Honkers, Chicken in a China Town, Beguurk, Norman and Vincenzio to name a few faves. But my favourite would have to be Madduke Lol!

How about The Pendlelum bro'?.....$pinout name. How did he come up with that? Is he Bipolar? Speaking of Bipolar, The Rooster Oracle is a pretty cool name too.

Craigwingsleftshoulder was hilarious.

Silly Sausage lived up to his handle.

AfricanArseMonkey what a pisser.

But Teabags, that was some sorta Gold.

Mine is pretty boring for footy fans. I read a lot of novels, particularly by Nelson DeMille. He has a character in some of his books, John Corey. A very funny, sarcastic , smart ass NYPD cop who just loves to break all the rules. Being in that job for most of my life I sort of admired the way he did things, fiction or not.

And JT I take offense John Corey is not one of your faves 😱

I always thought that was your real name.

I loved the Pendulum.

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

I'll give this a whirl.

Back in the day in the UK, all the teams had these really weird and wonderful old nicknames. Bradford were the Steam Pigs, Warrington were The Wire, Wigan the Riversiders, Hull were the Airlie Birds, etc. Anyway my team, Leeds, were the Loiners.

When they started Super league in 96 or so, all the teams ditched the old names for something more marketable. Bradford became the Bulls, Warrington Wolves, Wigan Warriors, Hull were the Sharks. Anyhow, Leeds decided to have a vote of their members, and I heard that 95% voted for the Loiners. The committee decided that no one knew what the fark a Loiner was, and they decided to become the Rhinos, even though no one had even tossed this up until the week of the vote.

So being old school, I decided to keep the Loiners name alive. And the Kingsgrove part is obvious, even though I live in Marrickville these days.

Malavai Smith was awesome. Unfortunately he was driven away by racism and homophobia lol. Mr. Walker was a classic too (not as In Andrew but as in Kit Walker, Ghost Who Walks).

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

I used to like "Sister Happy Chook".

"The Labinator" was another one.

[Amco Cup]

Seeing a poster called Amco Cup made me start thinking about some of my favourite names for Wallsters (or should I say Pensters).

Names that bring a smile to my face when I see them. It has nothing to do with what they say or who they are.

My faves include:

Amco Cup
Pass the Ball
Crikey Chris
The Ticket
Buddy
The Axe
Tommy Smith

I am sure there are more that I will remember when I think about them.

Anyone else have some favourites? It's not a popularity contest. It can't have anything to do with what they say or who they are. Just the names man.

Ha ha ha... oh Lord have mercy. I'm glad you like the name. When I joined I was feeling nostalgic and Amco Cup seemed natural. Some of my earliest memories of league come from watching the Amco Cup on Wednesday nights.... hell, I even went to many at Leichhardt. My old man took me to see the 1977 final although we lost. What I remember is that Elvis had just died and the people around us were talking about it. Old man was a Tigers fan so we also went to watch them play a lot. I also had the Amco Cup board game although I didn't know how to play it.
Actually, not wanting to sound... queer... but I've always like the name Johnny Tobin...great player. I wonder how people come up with names? Random? I had never been into posting on forums and this is the only one so I thought the name should have some meaning. I suppose if I joined many forums then any name would do.
