I've always thought "Pigeon" for McGrath was cool, cos it seems so unlikely. Anyone know why he's called that?

As you might have guessed from his sledging and on-field vernacular, he has a very small vocabulary.

Hence, he speaks "Pidgeon" English.

 

[Dydl]

Yeah. Supposedly McGrath is called Pidgeon because of his skinny legs.

 

[KennyD]

actually they call him pidgeon because for being so tall, he is very light.

 

[Dydl]

Just curious, where did everyone who replied to why they think McGrath is called Pidgeon get their answers from?

 

[Mr Casson]

I like my theory best.
