GETTING SHIRTY: Former Aberdeen FC star Neil Simpson.

NEIL Simpson today put the record straight about his nickname.

Aberdeen FC legend Neil claimed he’s always been baffled to see himself described as Simmie.

Neil, who will be honoured next week when Manchester United play Aberdeen FC in his benefit match at Pittodrie, prefers the shorter version of Simmy.

I'm sure we'll all sleep a bit easier now.

My mate Simmie goes by Simmie and not Simmy. I guess it's personal preference but I prefer Simmie. So I can no longer attend the Man Utd game.

I can hear the song now:

 

"Oh Simmy Simmie!"

How the fuck can there be "more on this story"?!? It's fuckin lame as it is!

 

What do you mean? He also exclusively revealed that he prefers 'Neil' versus 'Neale'.... 

Someone somewhere is frantically trying to repaint their banner in time for Tuesday.
