There's Only One Foxy

I NEED TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP RIGHT NOW.

There is only one Foxy. He is All Blacks legend Grant Fox.


The guy has earned the moniker:

Won a World Cup
Played over 50 tests for the All Blacks 
Pioneered the role of the modern goal kicker
Won everything with his province
Reguarly irritated the hell out of Australia
Coached his province
Commentates on the game
Picked up an MBE for it
Is actually called Fox.

This come-lately welsh chappy can find another casual handle.

Step off, Wales. You tried to steal our blackness and now you're trying to steal our foxiness. 

It looked ridiculous last time and it looks ridiculous this time.

i thought our black Welsh tops look quite fetching  

Pppfffftttt, A nickname being your first or last name with an 'o' or 'y' at the end lacks all originality.

Anyway you have to feel sorry for Jonathan Davies, he can go by Jonathan Davies because of the Ex-fly half and now commentator already being a star with that name. He can't go by John Davies because of the legend that was John Daviest the Scarlets, Llanelli and Neath (And the mighty Crymych RFC) prop. So he was left with Foxy, after the pub he grew up in, and now he is being told he can't go by that. Poor sod.

New nick name how about god or bod2

I guess he could rip of Randy Orton from WWE (years ago, when I still semi watched it) and become the 'Legend Killer'.

you had a semi watching it  

 I walked into that.

Can't have been all that good if you only got a semi.

Personally, a player reaches legendary status when his name is used to address him. Personally if a player has a nickname, it's usually to hide a glaring weakness or two.

If you go to a game and you hear colourful language before a player's surname, you know that player is doing everything right.

In that case I think there must be a hell of a lot of top quality players around the welsh regions, as quite often when the teams come out there are a lot of fans who say "what the <colourful language> is that <colourful language> doing in the starting line up, even I am better than <colourful language> <name>"

 You make a very good point.

Let's just say the top legends of the game don't tend to have nicknames. Their name is legendary enough. Down Under, any long name tends to get lopped off and a vowel put in front of it. Two syllables generally is the maximum. Some of those Bok names would be vanny, Oozo, Villy.

Pffft....Peter fox. Stoke city goalkeeping legend!

fat , slow and useless is often use with the f word and the players name in question

I like it.. BOD 2.0... now we know he feels pain, any decent rival fan will attempt to rub it in... at least a little.

I think he is lucky Ireland play Wales in Ireland and not in the MS, as he would have been taunted to hell by the Valley's Commandos otherwise.

What is it with Antipodeans and dullard nicknames? A nickname isn't just a one-word alteration of someone's surname, unless you have the imagination of a cabbage!

Those aren't nicknames Hood. That's how we speak, particularly in Australia. I'm gonna put a cool hundy on the footy. I just need to go to the petty to fill up the car and I'll meet you this arvo. All under three syllables. We keep things simple!

I don't know who came up with McCheat but it doesn't rhyme or have any imagination. McWhore would be more appropriate as you want your team to ruck him up good.

I NEED TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP RIGHT NOW.

There is only one Foxy. He is Radio Wyvern legend (Dr) Neil Fox.

The guy has earned the moniker:

- Started at Free Radio Herefordshire & Worcestershire, playing shows from 1984-86
- Pioneered the use of the prefix 'Dr' before a DJ's name
- Presented the Sunday-afternoon Network Chart Show
- Holds nine Sony awards and was awarded the Gold award for lifetime achievement in 2009, as well as having been voted to claim the "Best Disc Jockey" award from the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party multiple times.
- Regularly irritated the hell out of everyone
- Is actually called Fox

This come-lately Kiwi chappy can find another casual handle.

Step off, New Zealand. You tried to steal our Tolkien and now you're trying to steal our foxiness.

It looked ridiculous last time and it looks ridiculous this time.

P.S. - Ha, fair enough kia  

 So you criticise us but do the same thing yourselves!

Foxy started as an AB in 1985 but he started playing for Auckland in 1982 so he predates Bachman Turner Overdrive. I'm sure Dr Fox did a lot of work for charity and didn't like to talk about it but you're scraping the barrell here mate and you know it.

Ha, damnit!! I didn't really think that one through did I?! Though I'd say this, the fact that 'Dr Foxy's' name was self-generated, and self-promoted, and that he is generally loathed by most people here is no coincidence.  

Also, he put a 'Dr' in his name - so it isn't a simple letter change. Very original, very imaginative...very annoying.

No it's certainly is not.

Don't make me bring out the big guns - The Fox family, purveyors of Fox biscuits. They pre-date this rugby chancer by about 100 years.

Is could you pass me a cream custard Foxy part of the English vernacular?

Yes, yes it is. Well, probably as much as 'I'm gonna put a cool hundy on the footy. I just need to go to the petty to fill up the car and I'll meet you this arvo' is part of Oz vernacular.  

Isn't he called JD2? Or The Man Who Killed Bod?

And doesn't Scarlett Johanssen own the trademark "Fox" and "Foxy"?

I forgive her. She's lovely.
