NYCFC Player Nicknames
- Thread starter LostAnvil
- Start date
You forgot Lampard's: Cookie Burger (from Redmen TV)
added! thanks
Not sure what qualifies as a nickname but below are some thoughts:
- I've seen Harrison called BAJ (Big apple jack)
- Not sure if it counts but people get confused when someone calls Ethan White, Norris (His actual first name)
- Sean Okoli goes by Ugo
I added Jack's nickname above, but the other two are their real names so that might not count - will see if others chime in on this - thanks!
this should help some too
I didn't know the Ben Sweat one. I usually go with "No Sweat".
If we're going to the way back, there were also:
Jeb Brovsky
- Brosky or The Stache
Chris Wingert
- Wingdings
- Birthday Boy (if we didn't use this one, we should have)

Lord Kwame - Kwame Watson-Siriboe
She was so pretty before all the surgery
LORD KWAME WATSON SIRIBOE is always in all caps.
Also John Stertzer is Candy boy or Candy ass depending on how well he did.
Edit for reasoning: LORD KWAME WATSON SIRIBOE I have completely forgotten the history for, but I do remember that it came about in one of the shout boxes in year 1. I think it has something to do with a reference to the Nigerian price scam.
And @Angelamiller came up with John Stertzer as candy boy, why you will have to ask her. I call him candy ass because he was so god awful that he got subbed out 10 mins after getting subbed on.

Yeah, too many of these are derogatory. I get that some may be, but they should be positive on balance.

??? I'm not getting the reference.
Even "The Maginot Line"?
I jokingly coined the Maginot line once or twice, but haven't used it since. Nobody refers to them as such outside of the context of my initial post.
I remember seeing it elsewhere, but didn't know who. The Maginot Line is not remembered for its effectiveness, to put it mildly.
Funny that they have hardly ever played together as a pair.
