I've known a bloke called Stevie for about 7 years as he goes to the same local pub as me, and only tonight did I find out it's not his real name.
He apparently used to sell blinds, so was a blind man - Stevie Wonder, Stevie.
Got me thinking about nicknames and I was wondering the best nicknames (and reasons behind them) you've heard?
The one I can think of off the top of my head is a guy who used to play for a Sunday league team I was on whose surname was McPhee - he kept trying to get everyone to call him Shooie despite us telling him he couldn't choose his own nickname. Cue the next guy on the team being given the nickname Shooie.
Sure you'll all have better ones!

England cricketer John Crawley was called Creepy.
Something to with the drinks he allegedly didn't buy!
Because, if you look on a map, you'll see that Musselburgh is just in Edinburgh.
After he'd finished the job he started to refill the system but left the hose running while he went off to do another job. During that time he completely forgot about the tank he was refilling until 3 hours later!
On his return the offices ,stairwell and lift shaft were awash!
They still call him 'Waterloo' to this day.
Bernt Haas = Vindaloo
Cesar Azpilicueta = Dave
Luther Blissett = Luther Miss-It
