Whats in a Name

[spursphil]

I was reading another footie forum and the subject came up about a former Crawley Town player by the name of Wayne Wanklyn :razz: It got me thinking about funny names for footballers, i found a few links so appologies in advance.
The first one names its starting eleven.

The fantasticly named Luxemberg player " Frank Awanka" imagine if he signed for this Peruvian team.

Then you have Argelico Fucks Brazilian who carved out a half-decent career for himself as a central defender, but who is always going to be best remembered as the source of one of football's greatest football headlines: "Fucks off to Benfica", Eurosport's famous description of his transfer from Palmeiras to Benfica.

I don't know about you lads but i was in stitches with some of the names :razz: a last link with another funny article.

Being called Bent can't be much fun either.

 

[hashmander]

bent and keane had potential to be an awesome strike duo.

Kenny Lunt

I always thought Paul Mahorn was quite funny...

Go to uni with someone by the name of Wanklyn.
I suppose Danny Shittu qualifies, Dickov etc

Was it Charlton that once had a 'Dead Fish Costa Fortune' back line? :lol:

 

[werty]

I think it was "Young Fish Costa Fortune".

 

[Chris12345]

That's the one! :lol:

 

[CosmicHotspur]

These are for real too!

Have-A-Look Dube – Njube Sundowns, Zimbabwe

Osa Ice Cream Guobadia – SC Schwanestadt, Austria
Creedence Clearwater Couto – Lierse SK, Belgium
Bongo Christ – Congo
Angolan player Loco ...

I remember playing championship manager back in the day and I assembled the brilliant strikeforce of Jamie Hand and Joseph Desire Job. Hand Job up front, lovely stuff.

Last time I was in prague they had a series of films starring Ralph Wanka on tv. Nothing to do with football but I thought I'd share.
I think we should sign Danger Fourpence and I don't even need Spurs King's verdict.
