I don't like their 2nd nickname of the Gas - that stinks!
Worst: Has to be the Dirty Nobbers.
Yes,they were right next to old Eastville ground .I used to go fairly regular when I was "courting" my wife back in the seventiesDoesn’t “the Gas” relate to the large gas holders that used to be close by their ground? But “Tower Power” is better though not a nickname.

Apparently they chose The Toffees because they thought The Everton Mints suckedSurely The Cods is the worst nickname. I like The Toffees. Always had a soft spot for Everton. What I describe as a proper prem team.
