Cos of his giant dong. No doubt the Port Adeliade fairies will have a good perve at him in the showers. Dont drop the soap, Walshy, cos the Burgoyne brothers might double team you from behind

I think Warren 'WOW' Jones of Carlton was called that because he had a W tatooed on each of his cheeks.

Down at the saints there are a few that are common amongst the boys and were also published midway through last year. One of them is that two of the boys are named fisher so one is fish and the other chips.

Also:
Goddard - Gargemel (you know the bad guy off the smurfs)
Hamill - Chaminda Vass (Because of his big arse, also sammy)
Knobels was chainsaw (because of his voice)

In the 70s around the time that mick nolan was playing for north as the galloping gasometer there was a big bloke playing ruck in the WA goldfields.
