There are some great nicknames in GAA. The Bomber, Cha, Gooch, DOC, Rashers, Gizzy, Pillar, Banty etc

But what is the best?

I like the simple, Dan The Man

Tipperary calling themselves the premier county. Maybe not the best but definately the funniest

748809 The Fighting Cocks of Carlow. Seriously, thats their nickname!

Its actually the club name, think it comes from location of pitch at crossroads of same name, Perhaps hurlingguru can verify, going well in intermediate football
