I don't know if this has been done before so apologies if so.
Looking at the threads there are some weird and wacky usernames and there must be a story behind them.
Mine is simple enough, I support Town and live in Scunthorpe.

Mines just my name!

I'm Spartacus!

I have lots of money

I’m Dave.

I'm from grimsby and 2012 is the year I evaded taxes.

I live in Leeds  🤔

Bobby Cumming is my all time favourite Town player. When I was young, someone in the Barrett stand used to shout Roast Em Bobby whenever he was about to take the opposing full back on.

I got girth

Got mine from when I was serving in the Army. No idea why I was given it. They just thought it was a good nickname.

I hang around muddy, Norwegian riverbanks trying to find unwanted and neglected vole pups.

Those that cannot be placed into caring homes get bashed, rolled up and sewn into turtle neck jumpers for frozen fish magnates.  

Qualified Paramedic

Quoted from spartacus

I'm Spartacus!

No, I'm Spartacus !

Quoted from Spatchcock

Do you resemble a split chicken ready to roast then?

I'm French and live in Brechin!  :)

cant grow facial hair

I was young and naive

John McDermott gave me his boots at the end of his last game for Town

My surname is Parker, sorry it’s not more interesting!

My name is James and I support GTFC.

Mine is my favourite band

Quoted from jamesgtfc

My name is James and I support GTFC.

Same mate

A good sea fishing bait

I've had the same username since about 2000 before The Fishy, when it was The Electronic Fishcake

I’m unimaginative.

I’m just a big fan of Breaking Bad.

Oh, and I’m also Spartacus.

I’m from Town and I like climbing trees, eating bananas and scratching my balls.

Terrible flatulence!!

I played for Town in 1896

Had a grey streak in my hair when I was a LOT younger! Born 1957.
It's all grey now obviously.

I worked offshore in the North Sea

A long story involving a kilo of spicy Ghanaian shrimp sauce, too much tequila, a small glass receptacle and a very unhappy hotel owner.

Don’t change mate 😂

It's a long story!

Like the song by The Vapors ' Turning Japanese'  I had a misspent youth  

Mines the time I go out to burgle
I broke in to a fiver yesterday !
Utm

Nickname playing for Internet Mariners. o is the start of my second name.

I'm more concerned why my password is what it is  :o ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm barking mad.....

Worked as a fish lumper on Grimsby docks for a few years (plaice)

Changed from relegation plaice to promotion plaice the first time we were promoted out of the National League.

Funnily enough I live in caistor

Amazingly I live in Epworth…..in the Isle of Axholme ……but was born in Cleethorpes

Many years ago I called in on a Humberside sport “ Buckley” phone in……when he asked me where I was from I told him……he didn’t know Epworth or the Isle ……and asked if you have to get a boat to it!

I met him recently and he remembered……!!!

I'm just simple

The number of songs i could play on the old axe  [ guitar ] going back when i joined ,, can play a lot more now but also forgot a fair few

I am simply, the ultimate Mariner

Im called Madeley and live in Mariner  8)

I'd love GYFR to come on here and explain why he thought an aggressive username was the kind of thing a custodian should do.

I was born and bred in Grimbo and then went to live and work in Leicester .................I dont work there anymore but i dont know how to change my username  :) :) :)

I'm a former trialist from Mali who would've scored 25 League 2 goals in the 04/05 season.

For about the tenth time im Steve Livingston and I made Ravenelli feel sick when I hurt my head . I also run the Middlesbrough underground .  :)

Worked with Les Brechin at David Burys their was a odd job man who we called the 'udder man' saw what I eat at dinner and said just like a yard dog.

Had I been called Dee, I would have given a FOB story (Les knows what I mean).

Those were the days Les, putting up the plastic at the widows in winter, waiting for Burys to go on holiday, getting kicked out of the office every morning when Fred came in with the flask for him and David, making sure we had a drink on Christmas Eve in the Clee Park, so that we did not have go and delivery the Christmas boxes (sack of spuds from his sisters farm) to the solicitors Burys dealt with and of course the 101 FOB stoires by Dee.

Really boring to some but not to me, my hobby is flying First Person View racing quadcopters.

In my late teens, we had Joe Waters and we were brilliant and there was also John Peel, the Festive 50, the Undertones and Stiff Little Fingers, beating Everton, Wednesday and Sheff United, what a time to be a teenager, and then I went to live about a mile from his childhood house...couldn't have any other username...

My real name is Gordon Shumway and live with the Tanner’s and if given the chance, eat cats.

Obviously exiled in Prestwich! Very handy for Salford away though  

Quoted from Simon

I'm just simple

Does everyone do as you say?

Mine's just my name and my initials, but it reads funny if you try and read it properly.

Ben Ben Bristow

I was originally GrimGary on the old forum but got lazy.

I live in London and I was 43 when I first signed up to The Fishy.  Now I'm 55.  I think we've been crap for most of those 12 years, but maybe times are changing!

No reason really, it just sounds right!

Ex regular Forces, a term used then.  Situation normal all fooked up.

I need to change it really to something like “everything going extremely well”.

Had a username on the Electronic Fishcake linked to Matt Tees.  Another hero is Bobby Cumming. Besides being very hard and having good stamina, he had a lot of skill.

My username relates to a personal problem I'd rather not discuss on this forum.

I'm otherwise known as Andy 😃

Quoted from fishyfanny

It was your username got me thinking about this thread. 😆

Do you have a wife Andy...

My username is my name. No need for a lot of secrecy regarding who I am. Also, I figured that very few people on this forum (and the Electronic Fishcake in the old days) would have the same username as me.

When I first started posting on forums years ago my username was chalkytheumbrella because I owned an umbrella cockatoo called Chalky and obviously it got cut down to just Chalky,still known as Chalky on the Rochdale and Carlisle forums but just to make  things clear who I support when I visit a new forum I always put ncfc before the name

I’m left handed.

I'm a bit of a trawler and pretty much a total a**hole

DB, my initials also known as Dave.

I worked for Northern Trawlers, and GY1 was the registration for the trawler Northern Jewel.

I was inspired by the best tash in football

Wow, didn't realise I had so may Brothers on here!

I'm a Eastender  not by Birth because of my job  It's 400 miles for home game I've been doing it since 1978  but watching Town since 1970

No surprise that mine is based on the the US state that I live in - originally said I would move here for 6 months in 2000 but still here!

I am the Real John Lewis, not the imposter who put a hyphen in the middle of my name.

Mines just something I always said after a win

Exiled in Birmingham and the name of the only decent chippy I’ve found over here!

Red x Stop it GY in scrubland lol

I’m born and bred in Grimsby but lived in London and now Bucks for longer than I care to admit. Hence Grim(sby)Exile!!

Immingham Mariner

I live in Peterborough (Posh) and all the locals call me Harry (Harry the Haddock).

Real name is Steve

Boring name of club and last name.

It’s personal

On the subject of usernames there’s been some standout ones over the years..whatever happened to Ken Bigleys Head?

Don't think it was ever found Jase....

My username is self explanatory...when pronounced correctly!

My name is Adam. The haddock part is from when Austin Mitchell briefly did that gimmick of changing his name to Austin Haddock

Tribute to my dad, a fisherman.

Whenever he was in from sea, he would bring home ginny wings to eat and they always fascinated me. Stank the house out when he fried them.

Gilbert was my favourite player and his left foot was a bit of a wand wasnt it?

When the fishy came back as the new fishy, every account I tried to make, rob rejected as spam, exasperated and about to give up I just angrily typed this in. And it got accepted.

I worked in Essex in the 90s and when the locals knew I was from Grimsby they started calling me Grimps

I wonder what happened to aaron c reskew?

I'm near sidneypark!!!

I’m relatively old and Codger seemed like a good idea at the time.

Catch 22 is my favourite book.  

Plus i thought 'french mariner' sounded wrong....  c'est la vie

Bit obvious really.

Bit obvious really.

The numbers 3,4 and indeed 5 are close together on a keyboard - I have no imagination….

Used to have a shaved head short jeans ans DM boots with black & white laces

I’m an earwig and I used to play for a team of earwigs. I wasn’t very good so they gave me the number 0 and to encourage me as they didn’t know my name the crowd would chant my username and this has been copied by supporters across the land since then.

Quoted from kyan_goodrich04

My username is my NAME and the year i was born, 1904!

Do you still get to games? (wheelchair)

Quoted from ncfc_chalky

Do you still get to games? (wheelchair)

Get to them? He's on the bench Saturday.

I got mine by lying about the number of holes in one that I got. I got 4 in one round a few years back.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Are you sure you are not getting "C"  and "T" mixed up ?

Quoted from ncfc_chalky

Do you still get to games? (wheelchair)

Only when he is not playing centre midfield for Scunthorpe.

I'm Roger Rabbit

Born and bread in Hamburg, I have to support a local football team. The only option is FC St. Pauli.

Working in Immingham for a couple of month gave me my second professional football team to support.

Quoted from blackandwhitelaces

Used to have a shaved head short jeans ans DM boots with black & white laces

Is it bald head , baggy sweat pants and Velcro shoes now 😬

I have a genetic condition that stopped me from turning pro as player.  Well that and my lack of talent.....

Alternatively I'm half Welsh and my other great sporting love is Llanelli Scarlets rugby union,

Mine was given to me by a well known local footballer.

Every time I walked in to my local hostelry on a sunday lunchtime he would shout it out in devilment and most other local footballers who were there would tell him that he did not know what he was talking about.

Why has nearly every response got one red cross?

Someone who has been upset by everyone or does not like this forum? I wonder who it could be 🤔

I too am unimaginative. Chris is my name and have a fondness for Gainsborough Trinity.



Im equally as unfunny as I am unimaginative.  :-/

Certain members also hide their online status so never appear in that list. I believe a certain tax dodging (allegedly) former majority shareholder and friend of a fraudster hides his online status...

Edit: And almost instantly, a red cross has appeared...

Hi John.

An old mate of mine, who certainly was a stranger to the (Blundell ) park, turned up for a match and upon seeing me called out "now then stranger"- obviously trying to throw off his own glory supporter tag.

intercourse knows what I was thinking with mine,

Some people call me John

I'm a Mariner who likes Toot.

Quoted from RexFannies

Simple enough.
Names Andy, support Darlo - Split my time in Darlington & Grimsby.

Kept a soft spot for the Mariners since moving down there 13 years ago.

Live in Bristol. Also like Bristols

Quoted from pizzzza

How do you think test tube babies are born?

Doh 🙄

I am old enough to have seen the great man play regularly and I loved him as a player. But the tackle piece is an hilarious double entendre that juxtaposes one of his great assets as a player with his willy.

Absolutely hilarious.

I know it's not.

PS the errant S is deliberate and is a nod to the habit of some Grimsby people adding a random S to things.

i drive a tractor in farm land

I’m dazza and I’m a mariner  :B

Gary is my name... Elton... because I became one of his tribute acts after appearing on Matthew Kellys Stars In Their Eyes on Granada TV in 2001.... 🎹🎼🎶🎤

Grew up in Market Rasen, but Grimsby born.

I'm just checking in

Quoted from supertown

Is it bald head , baggy sweat pants and Velcro shoes now 😬

There’s no Velcro on my sketchers if you don’t mind (nono)

I used the name on many sites because of my interest in the Mexican Mayans.  

I have used on dating sites and got a lot of interest from Filipinas.   I found out that it means 'rich' in tagalog.  

In Sanskrit, it means illusion, which is what I still think I experienced in the play-offs.  

Previously,  I was keefybeefy.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Worked as a fish lumper on Grimsby docks for a few years (plaice)

Changed from relegation plaice to promotion plaice the first time we were promoted out of the National League.

When was it?  My old man was doing it for years. Sadly no longer with us.

Talking of usernames there's a few I haven't seen for a long time, one or two very funny posters

My dog's thoughts?

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

My username is a massage parlour I drove past regularly in Sheffield in the 80s

“Drove past” 🤔

Quoted from Brummie Codfather

“Drove past” 🤔

Sounds a bit more legit than kerb crawled past

Born within the roar of ‘MARINERS’ from the Pontoon stand, then went travelling far.

Hence the name!

Bentley and Wayne.

Maccabilk?

Quoted from PrestwichMariner

Maccabilk?

That's the one I was thinking of!

Maccabilk and Bostonian...  ?

I’m named after the greatest left midfielder/winger to ever play for town, a man that was so good he would beat the man once and then frustratingly turn round and beat him again, he also had a great free kick, cross and penalty. A great player from the Buckley days.

You're missing a trick, I used Big member Millionaire and got over 3 replies.

i miss ffs & wayne - their comments were always so succinct and erudite

Maccabilk was an excellent poster , his alter ego of Wayne was entertaining . Can’t help but think ‘they’ are still on here in some form
