Reveal The Player (Nicknames)

Gonna list some nicknames of players from the past and see if you can guess the player. Please add your own if you know some...

These are nicknames once given to some of our former players at some stage of their careers. They may have ended up with different nicknames along the way.

1. Saltbush - Ron Andrews
2. Sockeye - Paul Salmon
3. Bluey (x 2) - Ian Shelton & Alan Ezard
4. Stan - Steve Carey
5. Wally (x 2) - Dean Wallis & Mark Eustice
6. Sticky Fingers - Stephen Copping
7. Spitfire - Kevin Walsh

That'll do for a start.

Sockeye - Paul Salmon
Wally - Dean Wallis

I might not be old enough for the rest.

Yep Paul Salmon = Sockeye

I wasn't thinking of Dean Wallis for Wally, but I have to grant you that one!

There was another Wally who played in the early to mid 80's for us....

I think Ronnie Andrews was called Saltbush right?

And Kevin Spitfire Walsh?

No, he was only known as Boris (AFAIK).

Not a bad guess D2. But it isn't correct. Sticky Fingers was attributed to another foward in the 80's though....

Hmmm, not that I'm aware of.

Think of the idiot poster from BT Mk I for one of them. The other was a player of the 80's & 90's.

Ian "Bluey" Shelton

And maybe Ian Anderson for the second Bluey.

Sticky Fingers - Stephen Copping

And one of the Blueys is Ian "Bluey" Shelton, a man to be feared at both training and in the game.
Heard a story that a young player once beat Bluey to the ball in a drill and held it out in front of him, the young player pirouetted and woke up in the rooms some time later.

And according to the old man, the wally is Wally Buttsworth from the 40's

Obscure early 70's wingman, John May, might be the other Wally. I vaguely recall him being nicknamed after late 40's/early 50's star Wally May but it might also have been the latter's nickname, Chooka.

Bang! That's one.

The other is a well known player of the 80's & 90's.
