The Nigel drop-off skip.....beside the box-office at Selhurst

Nigel Pearson , attempted throttler of James McArthur, would surely be a suitable addition to any skip.

what a spectacular Nigel..... The Prem is boring now with Arne Slot, Mikel Arteta and whatever other 'media trained' bland feckers. I miss mr Psycho glaring at journalists and looking like he will storm into the audience with a Vinny Jones special. Psycho-Nigel, Psycho-Nigo

Smug overly-coiffed actor Nigel Le Vaillant gets my vote.

On the subject of actors, do characters qualify as well as real people?

I would happily deposit dodgy architect Nigel from Minder and the idiot Nigel Bates from EastEnders.
 
One simply does NOT hear of any of the younger generation called 'Nigel'.
Some of the names from yesteryear become out of vogue for several years then re-appear ie Edith,Alice, Florence.Perhaps 'Nigel' will fall into this category.

I have had the pleasure of being in the company of Nigel Martyn on numerous occasions, accordingly I was aware of his 'Back story' in terms of his discovery by Bristol Rovers and some of the other anecdotes he shared with the audience.
He is a genuine 'Down to earth' individual,an estimable chap and a very decent human being.
Apropos your purchase, to my ageing eyes it never resembled a 'Goalkeeper glove', perhaps I am in need of a visit to an Optometrist !

Met him quiet a few times he used to frequent the Good Companions up in Hamsey green. In fact he went there for a meal the night of the famous 4-3 semi win with his good lady wife, once finished he popped into the public bar to say hello and ended up staying and getting pretty merry as I remember.

I’m not sure what year it was recently, but it was a fact that no new born in the UK was named Nigel that year, not one, we are a dying breed

John Taylor from Duran Duran was christened Nigel. He can go straight in. So can his band mates.

Really?? I didn’t know that and neither did the wife who was a massive fan of theirs whom I’ve just asked.
You can see why he dropped the Nigel bit from his name
If I dropped the Nigel part of my name, you would all be calling me Peter 🤨
