Not necessarily. My hearing is unreliable. Baldric probably has the edge! On one site - forget which - a "Wealdstone expert" talks of difficulties visiting commentators had with pronunciation last season. "Onion" cropped up a few times but, frustratingly, the correct pronunciation was not mentioned. The quest goes on!
Just looked at his keepie-up exploits with a tennis ball. Have to say that was impressive, he introduced himself as "Luke O' Nine". Can still see a Dolly P rewrite in it though.
If it's Onion then the 'Onion' Song from the Isle of Jinsey it should be, and if it's 'Nine' they should have given him the number 5 shirt for the Dolly rendition
Do like the any old Iron song- though this version may have to be proved
Any o' nein, any o' nein, any, any, any, o' nein
You look neat – talk about a treat,
You score goals with his your and your feet.
Dressed in style, with a brand new tile,
And your father’s old green tie on,
Oh we wouldn’t give you tuppence for your midfield
o' nein, o' nein
Afternoon crabbie. Knew scallion was a type of onion and that rapscallion is a rascal but I think the wit might be a bit obscure to a lot of fans! Did the name of a Wycombe player ever give rise to such debate?!
Afternoon, yeah was more than a bit obscure I concede. I know what you mean about a name you wouldn't guess it's out of season and there's no more new signings to ponder about instead would you, scraping the barrel to find things to chat about.
We should look at the other signings as well such as
Rowe Rowe Rowe yer boat gently down the stream
kick it down the other end and watch their goalie scream

No Dolly Parton then.....

Onion, onion, onion Onion! ....sort of works to Dolly.....

Sound like the nines have it! Get composing guys.
Come on O'Nien, too-loo-rye-ay,
O'Nien, too-loo-rye-ay
Now you are grown, and now you have shown, oh, O'Nien
@Ed_ I think my ears may bleed! :-)

Its definitely not onion!! But I like your nine to five quip. Someone put us out of our misery! Please!
Why doesn't someone just tweet him and ask him directly ?
there's more layers to it than that
He's the keepy uppy king and he beats them one and all, the only trouble is it's with a tennis ball.
'Keepy Uppy Onion, he makes me swoon and sigh, he wants to play it on the floor not hoof it in the sky' ......that's yer shallot
What's the problem? O'Nein surely becomes Oneen unless I am much mistaken.
@wingnut That is the problem. If you look at his keepy uppy exploits, as far as my aged hearing could make out, he introduces himself as O'nine.
if he misbehaves then he's a right rap-scallion
@crabbie - don't get that. Perhaps I'm being thick.
How about the old favourite 'any old iron'
Luke O'Nien, Luke O'Nien, Luke O'-Luke O'Nien
You look neat – talk about a treat,
You look a dapper from your knapper to your feet.
Talking of which, here's the Harry Champion version on the tube, brought a smile to my face:
"Sweet child o' nein" if it rhymes with line then?
is he good enough for league two or is he a back up measure?
Hi Micra scallion is another term for onion, just not used very much
Do like the any old Iron song- though this version may have to be proved
Any o' nein, any o' nein, any, any, any, o' nein

And your father’s old green tie on,
Oh we wouldn’t give you tuppence for your midfield
o' nein, o' nein
erm mucked up 3rd line there as meant
'You score goals with your head and your feet'
note to self don't type with a hangover
@crabbie - 4th line - tile?
It's an old slang term for a hat

the pink panther theme for Sellers (bit tenuous)
It is a slow day at work!
As in "Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile..."
Crikey - scallion, tile - whatever next?
Pink panther theme. Is that the one that goes "dun de dun de dun de dun de dun de diddle e doo da do"?
