Nicknames

There was a fella playing for Thomas’s yesterday full forward number 19 who was known as ‘Bisto’.

I got a great kick out of it.

I’m learning lots of new ones this morning. Albeit I have no idea who one of them is, and the other is an intermediate club hurler.

There was a Bisto hurled for Clonaslee back in the 90’s. A big lad whose name escapes me.
Of course there was a Schillaci too.

There was a lad playing in goal for Callan at Special Junior level way back in the day. He put on a great display in a SJB final up in Bennettsbridge where he caught every high ball was pumped in onto of him. The senior team players christened him The Magnet for the day.

Know a lad called that too for the exact same reason. But one of his classmates had a speech impediment and had trouble with his r’s so it became Booga and eventually as Boog/Bug

Played soccer against a fella and his nickname to his teammates was Scum.
Even himself when he was calling for a ball he’d shout ‘Scums up’ if he was going for a header.

He had alopecia and he had long scraggy hair covering multiple bad patches.
