Perchinio - The Man Who Came Good

James Perch is half-Bajan on account of his father, and he has a special nickname. His Twitter nickname ‘Perchinio’ has been picked up by boss Alan Pardew. James Perch: “I can’t get away from that nickname now! “It’s flattering really. “Who would have thought it a year and a half ago with all the bad times I had at the start of last season? “I probably wouldn’t have thought something like that would have happened. "But I’m enjoying it and when you’re beating Liverpool 2-0 and your name is ringing around St James’ Park it’s a good feeling. "The manager loves it! The players haven’t given me much stick for it . . . Yet!"
