Players nicknames and their origins

Nicknames for players from team mates and their origins if possible.,,.e.g. Ronnie Simpson was father because of his age when he played for us. Could be a good thread,.....,..anyone else?

One of my favourite nicknames has to be The Black Flash a.k.a Gil Heron who was the first black player to play for Celtic in the 50s and was the father of the famous musician sadly now deceased Gil Scott Heron what a superb nickname HH
 
I remember one game against Aberdeen when almost all of the jungle put their arms out from their heads a LA elephants and moved them left to right singing "Davy Dodds elephant man" players were laughing all over the place. Hope the PC brigade ain't too offended. Funniest episode ever.
