Ruddock re-broke Robbie Fowler's nose for him too. (when Robbie had cut up Razors new boots bought by his wife)
That was Mario Kempes, his nickname was killer. The link below has a list of football nickname's at the bottom and some of them are funny like Faustino Asprilla was known as "Gacela Negro" which mean's "the black gazelle" http://www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/news/nicknames2.html
No, there really was one called Killer (of course it doesn't mean the same in Spanish). I can't remember details- I'll do some research when I get a few minutes.
Some of the name's on that list are actually a bit suspect, they say Denis Bergkamp was know as the "non flying Dutchman"
Not in the EPL, obviously, but Harald Schumacher should get a mention for being nails... Bruce Grobbelaar served in the Rhodesian Army for two years during the Rhodesian Bush War...
No need for headslap matey, I was slating Vidic not you, don't take it so personally, Garry's gone and left you raw again? No, I mean, like Skrtel, a player can sh!t him up early on and he can have a bad one, it happens seldom but it happens to both, Vidic has had shockers other than Torres, law of averages. He's a great player, dont get me wrong, but he is nowhere near the toughtest prem player I'm afraid
please log in to view this image George Elokobi. Built like a tank. Definitely a player I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of!
