Here's ten players from the AFL and NFL listed by their nickname. What's the correct real first name of each? No googling or other cheating. If you get more than five you're doing great!
Cookie Gilchrist
Crazy Legs Hirsch
Ironhead Heyward
Speedy Duncan
Spider Lockhart
Butch Byrd
Mercury Morris
Hollywood Henderson
Tombstone Jackson
Ickey Woods
Byrd and Duncan were before my time so I have no chance of guessing them.
Nope. Icky's real name is "Elbert."
The others remaining are Lesley "Speedy" Duncan, George "Butch" Byrd, and Carlton "Cookie" Gilchrist.
If you have some time go into You Tube and check out "Full Color Football." The documentary about the AFL. If you are into Chiefs and AFL history, its a must watch.
