    Not like graeme Swan being called Swanny. In our school he would have been called CYGY (as in cygnet as in baby swan)

    The best one was a lad who got his nickname at 8 years old. Basically it was winter he came running into the school toilets, slipped and slid along the floor and crashed his gonads into the urinals. He had to be taken to hospital and pissed blood for a few days. It was like he had bust a bollock. His nickname

    WOMBLE (one ball) still called that and he uses it himself

    any more?

    I still get called Rapid. It was an irony thing because I was never too quick on the football pitch.

    Did your classmates spend their entire time thinking up different names for you, you seem to have a lot, or were you just not liked?!

    Calling a fat, hairy girl Chewie (Chewbacca, of course) was about as witty as it got at my school.

    Quite the opposite was quite popular however people said when they said my name other words came out also most of it I think was down to Diego as revenge.

    Lee Clarke (toon footballer, now Huddersfield manager) used to be known as Jigsaw because he used to go to pieces in the box.
