Just thinking about good and bad sporting nicknames. Manchester United won their first match of the season 5-1 on Saturday, and our young England hero Wayne Rooney got 2 of those. Thing was, I was checking the papers yesterday, adn was reminded that the British press have seen fit to nickname him 'Wazza', which, IMHO sux. So I started thinking about other nicknames, some good some bad. Ones I like (from Man United, at least):
Eric Cantona 'Le Roi' (The King)

Dwight Yorke 'The Smiling Assassin'

Andy Cole 'Goal King Cole'

Americans seem to come up with much better 'cool' nicknames, so list your favourites.
