Hey Bill,
A few years ago you printed an article in the GCN that listed nicknames for Gloucester Boys over the years. Gloucester City by far is the only place I have been to where so many people\’s nicknames are used instead of their given ones. Ill try to list as many as I can in this forum because I have seen so many posts with different names and it reminded me of that article.
Could you perhaps fill in the blanks on your page somewhere?
Here are some names that come to mind: Bill \”Ozark\” Underwood, Tom \”Choo Choo\” Murphy, \”Jungle\” Murphy, Owen \”Dinkie\” Brennan, Geo \”Pinkie\” Cleary, Bill \”The Buck\” Graves, Gary \”WooWoo\” Gross, Bob \”Dece\” Dicierno, Dan \”Obie\” Obrien, Paul \”Nipper\” Nazar, Tom \”Tut\” Kilcourse.
Joe \”Lizzard\” DiFelice, Joe \”The Jet\” Stiles, Woodrow \”Woody\” Dooley, Bill \”The Jolly Green Giant\” Gross, Bill \”Wimbie\” Yeager, \”Corkie\” McNutt, Bill \”The Worm\” Seddon, Charles \”Ziggy\” Zearfoss, Bill \”The Pen\” Cleary.
Tom \”Dink\” Danaher, Joe \”Dewey\” Dewechter, Al \”Bozo\” Sharp, Jack \”Oats\” McDade, Bill \”Hawker\” James, Goober Wachter, Ed \”Whootie\” DiGiacomo, VJ \”BamBam\” DiGiacomo, John \”Soles\” Hillman, Shad Agar…..
