....remember a group of Evertonians coming across a stray dog in a doorway after a semi-final in Sheffield in mid-80s. They brought the poor thing home and when they saw it couldn't run they called it Sheedy.

....Liverpool Dockers are renowned for only being known by their knicknames. There are instances of wives ringing in to report an absence and the guys answering not knowing who they were talking about. Apparently one bloke was known as 'West Brom' for 30 years. Every time overtime was on offer he'd say 'Ill be in'.

Had a teacher called Mike Hunt once.

Also, had a mate called Phil Tester, he didn't have a middle name so all his mail came through as Mr P Tester which never failed to make me laugh.

always on the floor.

My Dad had mates that were twins Rob and Peter. Their surname was Don so they were called Mr P Don and Mr R Don!

This is a belter though I remember a lad in school called Anthony Armhead everyone called him Tony. so it was Toe-Knee-Arm-Head!
