How it came about I don't know. The fanzine Two Together always called him that. Maybe John C knows why?

Peter Scott started the Nickname.....Sean always said it was a "long" story!
Re: Witty/Humorous Player Nicknames
He did indeed. The physio wound him that it was something serious. And the nickname Lumpy was created.letchbee94 wrote:John C can hopefully confirm but did I read it came about because of an injury he got once and he had 2 big lumps on his foot.Psycho wrote:Spot on.letchbee94 wrote:Sean Devine.Psycho wrote:Which Barnet player had the nickname 'Lumpy'?

Re: Witty/Humorous Player Nicknames
A few of us called, and still do refer regularly, to David Hillier as the radish thief which materialised out of him coming to us after being caught as a baggage thief at an airport.

No it didn't. We used to call him that at Underhill. It clearly went with him, but was started by us.BEEGONE wrote:This nickname came about after he left the club.X-Bumble wrote:We had a player called Fitz Hall, and he was called 'One Size' by a small group.
Because one size Fitz Hall

Someone was called 'Nappy Head', but I can't remember who or why.northantsbee wrote:Nicky Evans is referred to as God.
I seem to recall Keith Alexander being called 'Toblerone Head' due to his inability to direct a header
Gary Phillips is 'Sumo'
I believe Paul Wilson was called 'psycho'
Gary Poole was the 'Acid Man'
Graham Westley is known by several nicknames, none of them acceptable in a family forum

Re: Witty/Humorous Player Nicknames
What was Stan Flashman's son known as? Please keep it clean and polite guys!
Re: Witty/Humorous Player Nicknames
Stan Flashman used to call John Docker and other Bees players every name under the sun when mumbling to himself during matches. We used to stand in the South West corner of the ground to specifically hear these, when we were not sitting on the barriers behind the goal.dawat wrote:What was Stan Flashman's son known as?

Re: Witty/Humorous Player Nicknames
Nappy Head was originally Elwyn Roberts because he was basically sh@t at heading. It was transferred to Tim Alexander for while until we found out that Peter Scott (Yeah he was responsible for many nicknames) called him Spotty Dog after the Woodentops puppets. Check out You Tube if you must and see how he runs!X-Bumble wrote:Someone was called 'Nappy Head', but I can't remember who or why.northantsbee wrote:Nicky Evans is referred to as God.

I thought he deleted his own profile. I certainly did not report him anywhere. TK does not manage this board, unlike Netbees which you ruined.Beeloyal123 wrote:Psycho wrote:Beestard, you're turning into a legend.Beeastard wrote:Years ago we had a guy who did match previews.

I remember Beeastard, he was banned after “so” complained to TK.
