    Liverpool Players' Nicknames

    Digger Barnes - Always thought that this was after Cliff Barnes's dad in Dallas. Turns out his initials are JCB, hence the digger. I did not know that.

    Never knew Rushie was known as Omar either. I presume because of the 'tache and Omar Sharif.

    And it was Rob Jones who was Trigger and not Jason McAteer.

    So now.
    You can agree with me, or you can be wrong.

      No, he was the "serial killer". Or maybe the "Cereal killer"

        There are quite a few apocryphal stories about people mishearing the John Barnes 'Digger' chants as 'n i g g e r' which led to some unwarranted aggro around the time of his stardom.

                Hard to believe that bananas were thrown by some reds. Or was that bull**** too? Also heard that he was regularly stopped by cops on the way to training because he looked suspicious driving a flash car

                  Never heard or seen of any reds throwing bananas, more likely to be Bitters in the crowd at the Derby. There were all sorts of stories about Barnesy an his cocaine and sleazy sex den on Shiel Road in the late 80's. Again probably started by blue nose taxi drivers delivering escort girls to some random balck fella in Kenny. :whatever:

                    His first game was Arsenal away where I'm sad to say there were bananas thrown on the pitch by Liverpool supporters. A sad indictment of what a paradox the city was at the time

                      Did you actually see this happen? I'm not being a dick but never met anyone who actually saw it yet. No surprises as I know plenty of LFC fans who are about as PC as an Apple Mac.

                            Yes. I used to go to all the home and away games then. It was the year that the first 3 games were away from home because of the Kop being knackered. It wasn't loads but it was evident , however I never saw it happen again.

                            The next game was Coventry away and I remember JB being surrounded by Coventry players but keeping the ball up whilst smiling at the Liverpool fans. After that I think even the KKK contingent were offering their daughters up for marriage
