Why do they call him "Foppa"?
Peter ForsbergSaintRon 08-03-2005, 12:15 PM Why do they call him "Foppa"? Bubba Thudd 08-03-2005, 01:21 PM I believe "Foppa" is a nickname for Forsberg. Kind of the way Americans will often call a guy named Smith "Smitty". hockeyplaya46290 08-03-2005, 01:59 PM it means puck wizzard colosilverado 08-03-2005, 02:01 PM I swear I heard Peter McNab say that Foppa doesn't know how he got that nickname. I was thinking that Roy gave it to him, but I am not sure. Malakhov 08-03-2005, 08:27 PM It's his name no? Foppa2118 08-04-2005, 02:00 AM It has no literal translation. It's just a nickname, that many people with his name have. Like what Bubba said. SaintRon 08-04-2005, 03:31 PM Thanks to everyone for the answer. I was told it's a derogatory name in Swedish. Glad to see that is not the case. | ||
