So called by long-time Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson in his first autobiography in reference to the England striker’s, shall we say, impressive manhood.

As the Guardian documented, Ferguson said:

"Big? It isn't big. It's magnificent! I've seen some whoppers in my time, but Dion's is something else," his verdict on Dion Dublin’s lunchbox, according to the then Coventry City chairman Bryan Richardson, in 1994.

Paul "Rambo" Ramsey, in the absence of a jungle full of soldiers he had to make do with steaming in late on unfortunate opposition midfielders, never pulling out even when logic said "pull out or they'll need three stretchers". Not particularly sought after by the U.S. military but there's a few limping ex pro's from the likes of Grimsby and Swindon who could try to take him out as he walks the dog in Bradgate Park one day.

 

It was more suited to the latter part of his career when his pace and mobility deteriorated and he was reduced to clapping, pointing a lot and steaming into tackles that were so late that his card would come in the following weeks game.

 

Favourite memory was in a reserves game where they'd run out of stretchers or back boards (probably due to him) so he had to be taken off after an awkward delay of people running up and down the tunnel frowning and shrugging their shoulders, on a table, yes, a TABLE!  Inevitably he slid off it so refused to get back on and hobbled off painfully instead leaving two guys standing in the middle of the pitch with a piece of furniture.

Zeljko 'Spider' Kalac.

Jimmy "He knows where the goal is" Quinn. So does the groundsman but you don't pick him to play up front.

 

We used to call Gunlaugsson "Ming" (after the Flash Gordon character, not due to his B.O, problem)

 

I believe Norman Leet was nicknamed Jesus Christ, when his inclusion in the side was announced over the Tannoy the majority of the crowd put their heads in their hands and chanted it out loud.
