Zoom - great names in football

Post by Mooro »

Following the comment from BorisETA in the Exeter thread regarding the wonderfully named Zoom Bakayoko, I got to thinking of other great names in football...

I'll set the ball rolling with:
Jermaine McSporran
and a player who perhaps we should actually be signing -
Manny Panther (Half-man Half-panther, fantastic image)

Apparently he's knackered due to a knee injury but that isn't stopping Exeter signing him.

Bringing it down a level don't forget Dou Dou and Shittu. I'd have expected them to walk into our team!

We'd be more likely to go for Naffall and Buckles in defence, with Ineffective, Longball and Overhit in midfield, and Shoots-Wide and Barndoor up front.

If players with those names exist, we need them now.

How about

Andre Muff (Austrian)
Oh Bum Suk (S.Korea)
Angel F*cks (Brazil)

and

Maybe we should try and get a team of City players:

Justin Edinburgh
Dion Dublin
Wayne Carlisle
Alan Sunderland
and of course we should resign Pal Lundin.

Or maybe we need more of an international focus:
Mike England
Danny Wales
Jason Scotland
Stephen Ireland
Alan Brazil
Ryan France
Matt Holland
um...

Portugal have a reserve 'keeper called QUIM.


Southampton have a player called Marius Licka (I think)

Stefan Kuntz anyone?

I did once enter a Fantasy Football competition with low optimism but a schoolboy smirk, which started off with:
Seaman, Dicks, Dixon, then went via a couple of Cox, before finishing with Banger &amp Littlejohn....

Oh, how I chortled!

Another grand name, though I'm not sure he's still playing is:
Barrington Belgrave

The close season really has started. If you want another for your innuendo XI you can do no better than Totti.

OK, but how many of you have had three members of the team you support form your name :wink:

Oh and my middle name is not Turley BTW.

And put the three together and you get one decent player.

This is just such a childish thread. Don’t people know that even some local journos read this forum, so what’s that going to do to our reputation?

On the other hand..

How about Naughty Mokoena or Segar Bastard
