nickname quiz

[Byrom]

sorry been busy at work recently, not answering as quickly as I used to, got to keep the boss happy
now, if we all go to the Wiki page "snooker player nicknames"

that's naughty - don't be doing a Stephen Lee on me

[Bigmeek]

Anyone remember the Spitting Image bit about Steve Davis when they were discussing his nickname? Very funny. I blame Rob Walker for all this nonsense, lol.

[Byrom]

yep funny

[DeanH]

Sptting image - brilliant!
they should bring it back
or is it something left unblemished

[Byrom]

Yeah I think they should bring it back too - don't see too many snooker stars getting the Mickey taken out of them these days on TV - Davis took it all in good heart and I think maybe this helped change his image for the better - people love him now.

[Byrom]

Love the Cannon n Ball sketch - Steve's rap song on pitting image a bit pap though

Dynamite is Ryan Day

[Byrom]

Dynamite Day correct

[Bigmeek]

Widnes Warrier - might be Andrew Higgonson as he's from Widnes but I've never heard him called this before.
PS in the early days Steve Davis used to be referred to as "The Plumstead Potter" on account of where he lived. Once he started playing at Romford and got involved with Barry Hearn he morphed into "The Nuggett".
