Liverpool Players' Nicknames

[Kilteragh]

oh can u imagine the man in our team now, my all time favourite pool player, he used to make me smile ghostin past players, a joy to behold
in his prime, better than giggs and ronaldo put together

Awesome. If he had been Brazilian etc, etc, but he wasn't, he was ours.

Why don't they make them like that any more?

[tomasjj]

Diouf's nickname was **** wasn't it?

A cabbie told us he was called "the African Queen", cause if we lost he would go home with a man, and if we won, it would be a woman.

[tomasjj]

I think Cisse's nickname was 'crap'.

On the terraces I heard "french gob****e" mentioned quite a few times.
I thought that fit him.

An awesome player.

And to think we bought him for £900.000!

I remember the unveiling press conference.

A certain Peter Beardsly was also paraded for 1.5 mill!!

Oh how times have changed

I just watched a lot of those 100 players who shook the Kop videos on you tube.

Barnes and Beardsley were incredible. Truly.

Barnes out of this world really.

[Darth Marty]

It sounds sad when we reminisce but by **** those were the days!!

Ah man, Barnes, Beardsley, Rush, Dalglish......oh my god....what a team, what talent......I long for those days, I really do

When we pick up the Premiership next year I am going to book a week off and make sure I really, I mean really enjoy, the whole experience.....dont want it to be another 20 years before I experience that feeling.

Walk on.................

pure gold, the boundaries he broke for black players were immense.
A legend

[murder_inc]

Am i mis-remembering(dont know if thats a word) but Im sure I remember the inflated bananas being launched around Anfield in the late 80s. I also remember the **** he got from knob jockey england fans during world cup 86'.
****in ******s the lot of em' and if he was brazilian he'd go down as one of the greats of the modern era, but there you have it.

Johnny Barnes -

[Marky]

Riise = Ginger
I heard Carra screaming this at JAR when i last visited Anfield.
Very squeaky voice has Carra.

[murder_inc]

Oh, and his rapping was pure class. Ground breaking stuff really. I heard he taught Fiddy and P Diddy.

You two scousers are always yapping
I'm gonna show you some serious rapping
I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barn-es
When I do my thing the crowd go bananas

[El Jefecito]

Reina=Pepe
Carragher=Carra
Agger=Dagger
Finnan=Finn
Riise=JAR
Paletta=el superestrella
Insua= el monstruo
Gerrard=Sir Stevie
Mascherano=El Jefecito
Sissoko=Boss
Pennant=JP
Torres=El Nino
VORONIN=THE CROW / RAVEN, if you prefer,

Those are the only ones I have heard of.

Carragher was always known as 'Cagsey' not 'Carra' until recently. I've heard Arbeloa called 'Alvo'. He probably got that from one of the Scouse lads 'cos we always abbreviate people's names or add a 'y' to them! For example, Dirk is 'Kuyty' (pronounced 'Kowty') and then there's 'Crouchy' of course.

Some of them are straightforward: Stevie for Gerrard, Sami for Hyypia, Danny for Agger, Harry for Kewell, Xabi for Alonso, etc. I would imagine that Paletta is known as 'Gabi' (just like Heinze) and Riise is always called 'Ginge' (not 'Ginger' or 'JAR' as claimed)...

If you listen to the screams during the game, then you'll know that Carra definitetly refers to Sir Stevie as Steven.

I'll have to tape it and listen next time I get back from the match...

[kop-al-74]

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

That was my first live game.It was Beardsleys debut aswell that day,we wore our grey away kit and won 2-1.I can't remember any kind of racism or banana throwing tbh.

Maybe i was just to ingrossed in the game to of noticed.I was only 13.
