Welcome to Yogi

[buckett]

Why does he get called Yogi ?

I wondered that too. The original "Yogi" was John Hughes of the Lisbon Lions. They called him Yogi because he was big, strong and a bit like a bear.

Our manager is nicknamed "Yogi" simply because he has the same name as the original Yogi!

Or maybe it was because he was reputed to give bare hugs

Bare HUG HES !

[Haugh Aye]

I thought it was because he was once asked for a mattabooboo. I could be wrong.

Why does he get called Yogi ?

 

I wondered about that, there used to be a player called John 'Yogi Bear' Hughes back in the 70's, he played for Celtic I think, but had a couple of years at Palace before a knee injury curtailed his career...clear not the same bloke!

 

I feel a chant coming on...'Yogi Bear's red n blue army'

The original 'Yogi' is our manager's uncle. Brute of a player, by all accounts.

Are you sure the two are related ?

Remember him well. Big beast of a winger. Not sure if they are related tho.

I recently read somewhere that there was once another very large  player with Celtic who was called "Yogi" and the name somehow just transferred to John Hughes  after he arrived there.
