Hello Kano, I'm glad you like the site. Hope you found your way to the
mini-bar ok.

'Dressing rooms' and 'changing rooms' are where people go to change their
clothes before sports or theatrical performances. Where people - especially
males - are (1) in a state of undress (2) in close proximity, a certain amount
of rough humour ensues. (I'm not sure whether this happens everywhere, or
only in Western countries.)

This rough humour pays no heed to rank or status (lack of clothing is a
great leveller), and usually involves mock-insults, heavy irony, sarcasm,
etc.

The humour is 'dressing/changing room humour', and the mockery is
'mickey-taking'.

'He was all arms and legs': this is an affectionate way of saying 'he was an
uncoordinated, ungainly person, whose arms and legs appeared to be
everywhere at once'.

Often, 'all arms and legs' implies that the characteristic isn't entirely desirable
(you wouldn't want a ballet dancer to be 'all arms and legs'), but in a
defender, it's not necessarily a bad thing. The fact that the much-missed
footballer in question was also nicknamed 'Crazy Horse' gives you an idea
of his style of play.
