    Rubbish nicknames

    C'mon, let's be having you. Katie Taylor is a magnificent boxer, but I have been gagging for ages to discuss the sheer rubbishness of her nickname:

    Katie 'KT' Taylor (or occasionally Katie 'Irish KT' Taylor)

    When they announce it in the ring it just sounds like they've made a mistake

          Andrew Flintoff's has, sadly, become an example of overuse and familiarity breeding contempt.

            Phil "The Power" Taylor always felt spectacularly terrible, to me.

              Self named nicknames are particularly sad, step forward Paul " the guvnor " Ince.

                Let's wheel out the old favourite, Anthony Hamilton "The Sheriff of Pottingham".

                  Martin "Chariots" Offiah sounded cool until my Dad said he called him "Great Balls".

                    I find the Cricinfo data on nicknames very disappointing, often missing or out of date. England’s cricket team, in the here and now, have several stinkers. “J-Roy” is terrible, wtf is that, a robot. “Morgs” is even worse, a bargain basement sci-fi monster. “Royston” or “JR” and “Moggie” (which is what Cricinfo claims) would be far superior. And what about Adil Rashid’s long-lost name on Cricinfo, “Hoover”, that would be so cool!
