We'll all know of the Cannibal, The Eagle of Toledo, the Badger...but some cyclists had some bonkers nicknames, and some of them a long list of alternatives:

Carlo Galetti fell into the former, known as The Squirrel of the Canals
Ferdy Kubler fell into the latter, being known as: The Eagle of Adilswil, The Nose, Rabid Ferdy, The Cycling Cowboy, Cyrano, The Mad Cyclist, Ferdy the Stallion, Mr. 100,000 Volts, The Magnificent One

I've been left at home with nothing but an old cowboy movie and the internet for company....

Yes, the Brits are rubbish at nicknames.

The Professor seems to be a well used nickname - Jean and Louison Bobet, Lauren Fignon and Jan Janssen
