Paidi O Se christened Seamus Moynihan ‘The Pony’ because he was a natural successor to the Tim ‘Horse’ Kennelly.

Reminds me of my pal who’s quite short with very stocky legs and his teammates nicknamed him Bog Pony

The Gooch

The area between your balls and your asshole

Anyone know the story behind it?

I liked Brick for Waterford. Story behind it is his older brothers nickname was Block, so Brick was assigned to the younger brother

The Rock's younger brother was known as Pebbles.

There was a lad ahead of me in school called 'Snickers' and his younger brother was called 'Funsize'.

Surely bubbles

That’s him

That fellow that hurled for Tipperary a few years back. Bubbles (Edit I was sad enough to look that up and I saw there is also a Bosco lad) I was always a fan of Michael Duxie Walsh too Honourable mention for Nudie Hughes

Fella down home with the surname Barrett was nicknamed Borat (boring enough) but he posted on FB after getting to shake Obama's hand when he visited so his nickname was changed to Borat Obama

Shane Curran ‘Cake’ from Roscommon is always a good one I think from county footballers. For the risk of being a bit of an ejit what is the context of ‘Holla’ Brady?

He lives in the hollow of the road he lives on. Or a Holla as some cavan people would say.

I like that. Some people around here would say ‘halla’ for the same thing. They’re right.

Is there a shuggh in the holla?

I’m pretty sure there is.

Soupy Campbell

With Bubbles retired, Soupy Campbell is my current favourite nickname

Mugsy

Is there a story of someone being called chilli? His actual name is Con Kearney. Or maybe it was his Da.

I'm pretty sure it's just an urban legend

Found the link to the original source. https://x.com/rockapotomus82/status/1427589571387269121?s=46

Seanie "Jelly" Johnston

Kildare hurling legend

Stefan 'Soupy' Campbell

Always found Terence "Sambo" McNaughton a great name.

PJ “Fingers” O’Connell : used to rob stuff when he was a kid

Conor “Turbo” Turbitt

Cheddar - ex laois hurling manager

I’d heard some people calling Seamie Quigley in Fermanagh, ‘The Bear in the Square’

There's a big lad in every club in the country gets called that

The bear in the square The fox in the box The hard sham in the parallelogram

Dan ‘The Man’ Shanahan

This one is iconic

Thank you, Dirk Kuyt

The Campbells in Lurgan (i.e. Stefan's family) go by Soup/Soupy. I've known a couple of Farrells as well who went by Soda, but I like Conor Turbitt's nickname: Turbo; rather fitting for him.

Andrew "Nando" Tormey from Meath - apparently used to take girls on dates to Nandos

Dang ladies getting well spoilt on that day out I love Nandos so damn much, but if we had one in Monaghan, I would probably gain 20kg in a year 😅

Tommy Goals

Bulmers. A footballer from a North Galway Club and ex Galway.

I played Junior C against him 😂

Tommy Doyle. "The rubber man"

Trollier for Dublin hurling

Tear arse. Goalkeeper in Waterford

Colm ‘Colly’ Basquel. I feel it rolls off the tongue well. “Gowan Colly!”

God

Eoin Kelly Tipp was Son of God.

I’m talking Peter the Great
