Doubtless the question has been asked & answered before, but the hopeless search function on the site makes it difficult to find an answer.
My query is where do the origins of the following well-known nicknames come form?
Pincher Martin
Spider Kelly
Jimmy Green
Knocker White
Sharky Ward
Tanzy Lee
Yes I know I should know, shame on me, but sad to say I've either forgotten or never actually knew. I'm guessing Knocker & Tanzy were boxers.
Thanks.
