I must be the only person who doesn't know the answer to this : why is he called Sparky ?

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · May 25, 2018

Guess it’s to do with his first name being Mark!?
Like Mark Hughes is ‘Sparky’

matesx · May 25, 2018

A lot of people named Mark get called Sparky

Mark Hughes is often called Sparky

matesx · May 25, 2018

I know a Mark and we call him Sparks for some reason.

Bit odd innit?

Alan Dugdales Moustache · May 25, 2018

I went to Whitley Abbey in the 1970's. It was bloody rough as old boots then . No one called Mark was a Sparky. They were all "Oi Mark you f*cking twat" or similar.
Never heard of Marks being called Sparky.Soz.

Marks and Sparks

Or is it because, one Spark and he's on fire.

The only bloke I know called Mark is a right c**t.
Well most of the time anyway. Went out with a student nurse Many moons ago and used to sneak into her dorm at the Warnford hospital in Leamington and one night her boyfriend she was about to dump turned up outside the stair way as some fooker let him in. I had to put a white gown on like a medic and pretend his girlfriend was unwell hence why I was there!
He calmed down and thanked me for helping her and I duly fooked off.
His name was Mark and a right cock. A villa fan too if I remember.
I digress as usual!

On the same theme, why is anybody called Nobby who has the Clarke surname ? Not all Clarke's can have big nobs surely ?

letsallsingtogether · May 26, 2018

Sparky Robins.

My mate Dick Clarke does.

bawtryneal · May 26, 2018

So somebody named Mark Clarke would be Sparky Nobby

Sparky Nobby is. Mark Clarke is his real name.

Mark Hughes was called Sparky at school after a character in the Beano

stevefloyd · May 26, 2018

Can't remember anyone in the Beano called Sparky

He set fire to an retirement home when he was 14, killing 17 people.

Actually you are correct his mate was called Beano and there was a comic called Sparky so he called himself sparky

covmark · May 26, 2018

Been called plenty of things in my life. Sparky isn't one of them.

Have it your own way then.... 'Sparcy'

wingy · May 26, 2018

I doubt it was the inspiration but in the forties and onwards there was a boy with a vivid imagination, a character in comics and animations .
Two well known instances include Sparky's Magic Piano and Sparky and the talking train ,the latters voice inspired Geoff Lynnes MR Blue Sky, tenuous connection .;-)
