Re: The Best Nickname in Sports
Depends if you consider poker a "sport" but Faraz "The Toilet" Jaka is a little unique. I was watching a WPT Final table and he was on there, of course they kept saying his nickname over and over lol.
Re: The Best Nickname in Sports
Hockey has low standards in the nickname department, Jonesy, Burnsy, Buff, etc. There certainly are some great ones though and The Hamburglar is one of them!

He's actually lucky to have come up with one himself otherwise the players would call him Hammsy.Originally Posted by The Comish

Re: The Best Nickname in Sports
Goat is a classic. But the problem is there's at least one in every sport... My top 3 for that nick name would be (in no particular order) TB12, MJ23, and WG99.

Re: The Best Nickname in Sports
Good call on all of these. Alex the Gr8 is pretty solid too.
I think the best goes to the Russian Rocket.
Re: The Best Nickname in Sports
I think Hammsy is what is on his helmet that he is wearing now. No picture of Hamburglar anymore.
