"Choo Choo"
"The Selkirk Milkman"
"Mini .... ....."
"..... Wild ...."
"The Ukrainian Gazelle"

You're on your honour!

A few on the list are familiar but can't remember who they refer too at the moment. A few others I have no memory at all about those.

Leo Lewis
Mack Herron
James Wild West
Bobby Gordon
Ernie Pitts

Just a shot in the dark but was Jerry James Kid Dynamite? Ken Nielson "Twinkle Toes"?
