    Might be something to do with the fact that he's quite a big bloke. Only guessing. Seriously, that's been his nickname for as long as I can remember. Long John Baldry and Wee Willie Harris are others. Don't think it's anything offensive.

    It come from his Brazilian nickname Felipao which means

    Big Phil evidently, Felipe/ Felipao? just changed it a bit He has other nicknames like Sergeant Major. Dunno whether the big phil is cos of his personality, or his size, probably both.

    why do players have a 'sweet left foot' but not the same with a right foot.

    and why do they have a "favourite left foot"? Do they have another left foot that they don't favour as much?
