Lest we not forget that the nick name 'iceman' rightfully belongs to Larry Hubbard and NOT Mika Immonen! The same goes for Lou Butera whose nickname is 'machine gun'. There was a period of time when someone else was trying to get away with using it, I think it may have been Luc Salvas, not sure.

Good point, but lest we forget that Larry's name was Hubbart, not Hubbard.

Thanks for the correction, typos will happen. While we're on this subject of nicknames didn't Mosconi get 'Mr Pocket Billiards' nick name relatively late in his career? I trust your opinion on this Stu
 
A few more:

George ‘Ginky’ SanSouci
Jimmy ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’ Mataya
Keith ‘Earthquake’ McCready
Eva ‘Striking Viking’ Laurence
LoreeJon ‘Queen of the Hill’ Ogonowski-Brown
