tyretrax Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Back in the days when the Glasgow riders travelled on the coach to away meetings Phil Jeffrey was struck down with a bout of food poisoning. He was given a bucket to be sick into and instantly became Phil "The Bucket" Jeffrey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Roy Clark, the Newcastle centre green presenter, who also did the 4's at Peterborough last year, has nicknames for all the home riders, and occasionally away riders as well. Ruthless Robert Lambert has now taken it on board and now uses him nickname in his twitter and interviews he does. Lightning Lindgren for Ludde, Magic Man Matej Kus, Blond Bombshell Palovaara, Superman Stevie Worrall, Kid Kong Danny Phillips, BCB Ashley Morris, The Kerminator Lewis Kerr, Dynamite Lewis Rose, Silver Fox Leigh Lanham, Rebel Richie Worrall, etc. Makes a change, and he sticks with their nicknames in all his commentaries/interviews.

The Lean Green Racing Machine that is - Andrew Tully. Roy's best one ever in my opinion. I still laugh about it today. Some of us used to chant along with him when he was saying it. GREAT FUN!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crump99 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Used to have them at Peterborough too. Not really my cup of tea but may well appeal to kids etc. Seems to work quite well with darts so perhaps would in the SGP in future? Craig Saul been doing it for years at Peterborough. Riders used to be introduced as such and the have their own tune which was used during their victory lap. Always worked well but the presentation is mostly inconsistent and dull these days so it could be worth doing again? Better than telling us what we've just seen as they pass the chequered flag, or another tedious invisible pit interview.

Daniel Smith Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think Robert Lambert should be "The Ruthless Binman". The rubbish is always out front first but he's quick to collect them all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Appleby Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Of course the Americans of the 80s & 90s always seemed to have Nicknames...some quite bizarre! There was 'Boogolo' Schwartz, 'Jellyman' Moran, 'Miracle Worker' Moran, 'Rocket' Ron, 'Cowboy' Cook, 'Bullet' Hamill etc etc (did Penhall ever have a nickname?) And of course the best of the lot...'Five Flavours' Pfetzing! There was also 'Super' Simon Wing, 'Marvellous' Marvyn Cox, Jens 'Rambo' Rasmussen, and of course 'The Main Dane' Hans Nielsen.
