As I said, unimaginitve.Blue or Bluey is a really old-fashioned Aussie nickname for someone with red hair, going back easily 100+ years. It was told to me many years ago (by an old guy named Bluey, whose dad was also Bluey) that it comes from the idea that redheads can be a bit firey and don’t mind starting a blue/fight. Not sure how true that is, but I wasn’t gonna risk it, haha. I quite like the nickname, you don’t tend to hear it as much in the younger generations now though.
Another teammate was called "beers" cos shock horror, his surname was beverage.
I enjoyed my footy but gaining iq or knowledge was not a gain or purpose.
