I thought we could come up with various teams with themed names and once we've got a first 11 for each we could pit them against each other in a hypothetical Funny Name World Cup, to be decided by polls if I can figure out how to do them. For example: First Name FC GK: James Defence: Terry Midfield: Gerrard, Neil, Barry Forward: Felix, Henry Penis FC Defence: Koch Midfield: Smallbone, Smallwood (Bonus, Smallwood's first name is Richard so Dick Smallwood) etc
Might have to be 5 or 7 a side depending on how many names I/we can come up with. Girls Names FC Midfield: Anita Weaponry FC Forward: Archer Double Barrel FC Goalie: Peacock-Farrell Midfield: Ward-Prowse, Loftus-Cheek
Swearing F.C. Stefan Kunze, Uwe Fuchs, Andre Muff, Neil Cox, Julian Dicks, Johan De Kock, Rafael Scheidt, Danny ****tu, Rod Fanni, Bernt Haas. Goal keeper Portugal international -Quim
Been thinking about this bugger for hours. Players whose name (or nickname because I was desperate) is also a job! Gk - David (Seaman) RWB - Kyle (Walker) LWB - Ben (Thatcher) CB - Terry (Butcher) CB - Des (Walker) cheat? CB - Chris (Coleman) CM - Ryan, the Welsh (Wizard) Giggs CM - Paul, the (Governor) Ince AM - Tommy (Taylor) AM - Kenny the (King) Dalgleish CF - Alan (Shearer) Manager - Fabio the (Professor) Capello
Good one that mate I had the same idea for a team but couldn't think of anyone at the time. I think I'll have to make it a 5 or 7 a side so the more unusual themes can field a team.
Weaponry FC anyone? Archer, Broadhead (type of arrow) but there must be plenty more. I did think of trebuchet until I realised I was thinking of Trezeguet.
Internash (All onto all,as we used to say in Redhouse) Ross Stewart Sammy Lee Dan Neil Jack Clarke Connor Cody Matty Taylor Stern John Alex Rae (naughty spelling) Scot Dann (naughty spelling) Michael Owen Stuart Pearce (naughty spelling)
Surely David Goodwillie gets a starting spot in your second team? There's also a player from Holland with the best name in football - Shaquille Pinas. For my own team, I'll offer Location, Location, Location FC: Keeper: Ben Alnwick Defenders: Justin Edinburgh, Clarke Carlisle, Reece Oxford, Stuart Dallas Midfielders: Antonio Valencia, Stephen Ireland, Jude Bellingham, Strikers: Joe Jordan, Roque Santa Cruz, Dion Dublin. Subs: Kevin Poole Jack Cork Matt Holland Alan Sunderland Sean Dundee Charlie Austin Manager: Bob Paisley LLLFC TV Presenters: Alan Brazil & Chris Sutton
Smallbone's first name is Willy! We also had Shane Long whose nickname was for obvious reasons "Shlong" and he once scored a goal with it! fact.
