[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 553624, member: 39190"] Yeah, I like our tradition of nicknames sticking. My granddad's name was Poppie (doll) which was given to him by a primary school teacher who said he looked like a doll. Oom Poppie en Tannie Poppie van Caledon. Bakkies (trucks) Botha is so ingrained its just not funny; real name of Jean Philip Botha. Anyone remember Anton Olivier who played for the Bulls? I met him once and his real name is Antonio de Oliviera. Apparently the man is Portuguese but the good people at Bulls HQ gave his name as Anton Olivier to endear him to the fans. Needless IMO but rather funny as well. [/QUOTE]
