Probably not. Try pressing the 'nickname' button, rather than the 'short for' button.
What a swizz! I wasn't questioning it as a nickname. |

As in John F Kennedy was know as Jack by his family.
More pertinently, John Charlton is generally known as Jack. I think Jack has now become a name in it's own right, and would appear as such on a birth certificate. |

And what to you nickname your balls?  Actually my old best mate was called Roman (quite a commonish name for Polish people I understand), he used to live in Tydeman Street in Gorse Hill. |

Jack is short for John? How does that work then? I've tried working it out with maths, but it's not adding up.
Yeah....how do you account for someone like Jean-Jacques Rousseau? Jean is clearly French for John and Jacques is clearly French for Jack...so does that make him Jean Jean Rousseau....does it fuck he was Jean-Jacques |

It isn't derived from French apparently. John is a name with history stretching back far into Biblical times. However, during medieval times, the name John was altered slightly in the Germanic tongues to Jankin or Jackin. Out of that, we get the nickname Jack. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/513387/nicknames_how_john_became_jack_and.html?cat=37 |

Leicester are the only club I can think of that have a reasonably sized asian fan base. Blades and Leeds up here have a fair few asian fans but Leicester seem to have mad a bit of an effort to include that section of their local community. |
