I've heard a different description relating to some excess Flesh in the Nether-regions, but I won't go into detail here.

ya i think gooch refers to skin between two areas on a male anatomy...but dunno if he got his nickname some other innocent way. i kind of chuckle everytime i hear marty morrissy et all calling him that. i remember one game way back where martin carney (legend of crazy talk that noone really listens to) kept refering to him as "graham gooch cooper".... there was a english cricketer called graham gooch obviuosly martin was bit mixed u as to what sport he was watching that day!!

That is spot on, I think he got the doll for Christmas, I guess maybe it was a "Gucci" Doll of Gucci the Italian fashion and leather goods label. I also heard another one once that he actually looked like the doll when he was younger or someit like it :eek: The Doll is the key to his name.

Kieran Donaghy "Star" got his name from a jacket he wore regularly in School that had a big yellow star on the back which he got while on Holidays in Florida.

It was an Orlando Magic jacket - Shaquille O'Neal's first team which made them quite popular for a while.

i heard before that it was that people in kerry thought he was a 'sharp' footballer and that gucci was a sharp brand of clothes, so they called him gooch

i remember thinking at them time that it was the worst reason for a name ever
