I can't think of too many nicknames that are going to be better than 'Crazylegs'. Five's NFL pundit, Mike Carlson, never misses a chance to bring him up in conversation, and you can understand why.

Great Sporting Nicknames: Crazylegs Hirsch
The first subject in a possible series of posts on great sporting nicknames, Elroy 'Crazylegs' Hirsch was a Hall of Fame NFL star of the 1940s and 50s. So named because of his unique running style (you can see a couple of short clips of him here), which first garnered attention whilst he was a star of the equally fantastically named Wisconsin Badgers, Hirsch has recently been back in the news thanks to current Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who has tied his record for eight scoring catches of 50-plus yards in a season.
