Could be past and present, official/unofficial, your own nicknames for them, anything and if possible meanings for the nicknames! I'll start with a few,
The holy goalie (Artur Boruc) - because of the kerfuffle made of him blessing himself at ipox.
Caesar (Billy McNeill) - For his imperial comportment and leadership qualities
The wee Barra (Bobby Collins) - A Glasgow reference to his squat frame
Jinky (Jimmy Johnstone) - For his flair and outstanding dribbling skills on the ball
The Maestro (Paul McStay) - Because of his controlled, stand-out excellence

BROOOOONNNNNNNYYYYYYY

I still think that 'Heid' was the funniest nickname. Then when the rumour came out that Gary Caldwell thought we called him that because he was good in the air, that just made it ten times funnier.
Naw, it's 'cause you've got a massive napper ya daftie. :bbpd: -
KRS-1888 Scott La Rock
"Jesus" for Sammy,he really does resemble waht we imagine Christ would've looked like.
"Caesar"-Billy McNeil,is maybe my favourite nickname ever.
"Lubo" is a good one too,though his mates and that probably called him it anyway.
