My girls asked this weekend why I was talking about ‘Big Dave’ when the manager was clearly called Darren Moore. I must admit I did not know. It has just always been so!
So I checked it out and for the record in case anyone else on here has just been calling him that without question:
Moore’s ‘Big Dave’ nickname stemmed from his likeness to a character in a Pot Noodle advert around the time of his arrival at West Brom in Sir Gary Megsons reign. It might’ve been jovial, but it stuck nevertheless. To this day, many a Baggies fan will refer to Darren Moore as such.
