Bazooka Joe Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 In the 60s/70s we had Bobby "Shadow" Williams, Big John Atyeo, Rodger "Lou" Peters and way back when we had Fatty Wedlock (tut, tut! ) Apart from "Jacki Dziekanowski", Fammy and Tammy, I can't seem to recall many other City players with commonly-shared nicknames. It seems we are now more inclined to come up with our own personal nicknames for players. Are nicknames no longer fashionable? Suggestions for nicknames for current players.
