"Malteser head"

[Busheyboy]

whatever we compare Mbia to, it's certainly NOT a good footballer!

He reminds of one good player we had: Georges Santos!

I think any name which is referring to a persons skin colour is classed a racist nowadays. "Maltesser head" and as matty put "vanilla face" are a form of racism. Calling harry "meltface" doesn’t refer to the colour of his skin, so is perfectly acceptable (kind of).

Incidently, i thought they called people "50p head", because every time they head the ball it would seem to go in a different direction than what they meant.

im not one of the PC brigade though, just stating my interpretation of it.

I do not condone racism in any form.... but if the mans head didn't so closely resemble a malteser nobody would call him it, I mean its incredibly round and shiny

I understand why people are saying its a racist term but if i have used it, it has never been said with racism in mind

[MYU]

Yes...Peter Beardsley was affectionately known as 'ugly c**t'......

As it goes he was one of my favorite players.

[Norths]

As it goes he was one of my favorite players.

And what a player he was.

Malteser head is a very weak racial insult if it is one, and one I remember from school years ago, and never with a nasty element to it, just childish.

Never heard used by anyone over 12 though....

Was it silvestre they called 50 pence piece head, should team him up with mbia.

Any other players that have earnt a nickname because of the shape of their head?

Jason Lee... Pineapple Head!!!!

Surely Gervinho must have one by now with the state of his head??

Would imagine that the inside isn't much different either, from what I've seen of him.

You're right about 50p head as an insult.

Karl Ready was a classic case, and that name was used all the time for him...

Id go with "Lightbulb head" for Gervinho
