Gaspode Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I pretty sure that Paul Williams was nicknamed Jossie because he looked a bit like one of the lads in a 1980s TV show about a kids football team (Jossy's Giants?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48 hours Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 I pretty sure that Paul Williams was nicknamed Jossie because he looked a bit like one of the lads in a 1980s TV show about a kids football team (Jossy's Giants?) Thanks for the info - much appreciated ... For those that are interested in such things - Alan Hinton was nicknamed Gladys because "Whilst at Derby he was universally and affectionately known, amongst the fans by his nickname `Gladys` which stemmed from his aforementioned white boots and curly blonde perm, along with his elegant and non-aggressive playing style."

48 hours Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Poominator (Little I don't know about beer - I wish I knew a tenth as much about football) Yahoo! - well done Dirigible ... Mart Poom may be the only goalkeeper to have a beer named after him. Poominator Ale is thought to derive from commentary by Simon Crabtree on Metro Radio in the north-east after Poom equalised in the last minute of Sunderland's Championship game against Derby at Pride Park in September 2003. The words, "It's the Poominator. He'll be back" appear to have inspired one listener to brew the beer. "I don't drink beer," Poom said, "but it was a nice gesture and meant I had some presents for my friends." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
