Life imitates art - Ever's time has come!

The story so far: It's January 2006 and Spurs are linked to Italian forward Vicenzo Iaquinta. But it's far too difficult to pronounce. So in a moment of inspired genius, SC poster Ever decides to call him "Dave". Now read on...

From today's BBC Gossip page:

South Korean playmaker Ki Sung Yueng has told his new Celtic team-mates to just call him Dave to avoid confusion. "Communication is so important if players are to be comfortable with each other," the 20-year-old said helpfully. (Daily Record)

:rofl:

You couldn't make it up!

Merry Christmas!

we did this with one of our players who just told everyone to call him Kevin

Think it was Qu Bo, a striker from China that we had on trial or loan

 

[CaptainCat]

:lol: Do you think this Korean fella is a poster on here?

People teaching English in China often give their Chinese students English names (to make their own lives earlier). Usually awful ones in my experience.

We're going to call him Rodney, after Dave.

[LadieK]

:lol: they were the days!

Blimey, it made me smile to see your name appear on here again, Mr BoF! Hope life's been treating you right? :up:

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

Its BOF! Tie him down before he runs off again!

Hello, I'm here for the 2005 Reunion party.

Did I hear correctly that this year's theme was 'Bring a Samson'?

I haven't posted on SC for absolutely ruddy ages but as this seems to be the thread for old-timers reminiscing Dave stylee I thought I'd poke my head in.

All we need is some sort of Keith Palmer appreciation thread and it'll be like the glory days again.

 

[Reids-Belly]

Keith Palmer would now like to be known as Dave, as Bill Oddie was finding it difficult to pronounce his name. True story:wink:

 

[Shanks]

I'm going to change my name to Dave.

Fucking awesome name.

Nice to see you BOF, hope your well mate.

 

[Dibby]

They're dead Dave...

 

[ever]

ahhhh the good old days, them's were great times

Certainly were. Good to see some of the old crew still knocking about. SC deserves a huge pat on the back as it's now the most-quoted board on other forums for ITK news during the windows. I still do my 'list' although not sure why, because I think I'm on the 10th one now and it's more than proved that most of the stuff in the news is bollocks.

The BBC did a great round-up for this year. Check out the 'pie in the sky' section here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/8435782.stm
