I used to play footy with a guy we used to call "The Turtle". He was just as fast as one and quite often whenever he went for a mark he used to mistime his leap and end up in front of the pack flat on his belly looking like a "Turtle" and that's how his name came to be.
There was a competition on the Coodabeen Champions asking people to nominate the best nicknames. For obvious reasons they weren't keen on this submission.
Richard Cole - Urethra.
Obviously coined on the theory that like most Richard's he would be known as *smile*.
my favourite footballer nickname i have heard is "SPUD",
i think it originated from a supporter down at moorabbin in the 80's who was about to call their fullback at the time "your a DUD" but sneezed while doing so and ended up saying "spud" its just a shame that no one really realised what this supporter was trying to say not even today ............... ;D

Campbo's no fairy cake now but used to cop some flack earlier in his career.
