Biggie was among my many names back then, this one came in high school from “Biggie Smalls” nikicheza rudge. I wasn’t the biggest of guys in the team but I used to tackle hard at form two nilichapa the real biggie in the school team stool (rugby fans relate ). Dude was twice my size hence I became the new biggie.
His revenge came later on but that’s a story for another day

A shortened real name can’t be a nickname.

A friend’s dad used to call me wakarive I have no idea what it means.

Nlikuwa naitwa Morientes mtaani, after the Legendary Fernando Morientes…AS Monaco Striker. Hizo enzi Evra alikuwa Winger at Monaco. As the name suggests…I was lethal in front of goal. #9
