    ... just been flicking through BBC sport pages whilst in between calls and they have a guide to the NFL where they have a paragraph on various teams and name an individual player to look out for ...

    The Deteoit Lions have a guy described as a 'lightning receiver' with one of the best names I've seen in sport for some time:-

    Amon-Ra St Brown

    For a bit of fun (no prize) - put up your particular favourite(s) - any sport provided they are currently playing etc.

    The Saints player that played the other day had a great one: Willy Smallbone. Would’ve been all time classic if he had an ‘r’ at the end.

    We have a player in our 21s called Dante Cassanova.

    There's a hurdler called Cindy Sember (American born British) ... found a particular meme quite funny - caption read "When's Christmas?" - underneath was a picture of her in her kit with her name 'Cindy Sember' - pretty clever that <laugh>

    I've been waiting for him to score a brace in a game so I can sing "you're getting ****ed by the Smallbone".

    Sadly think I'll be waiting a long time :(

    Poor bastard grew up bald too. Had no choice but to be good at football to avoid being bullied to death.

    He didn't grow up bald. He's got alopecia.

    Oh assumed he had it from young but only a few years says Wiki. Still imagine how much less poon he’d be getting if he worked in Tesco.

    Gave him the drive to make it as a pro footballer. Excellent foresight from Mr and Mrs Smallbone.

    Unfortunate if he also has a tiny penis.

    We had a striker called Isaac Success but he was the worst striker we ever signed

    He did score a hat trick once tho allegedly three girls at the same time in a brothel

    VAR ruled the hat-trick out for having to pay for it...

    Knows where the back of the net is. Feels a lot like money laundering.

    Didn't you also have Marvelous Nakamba too? Or was that someone else?

    Whenever I watched him I always thought he must have changed his name by deed poll from atrocious.

    Danny ****tu was actually excellent.

    I like Goodluck Jonathan who probably has had quite a lot of good luck.

    No not Marvelous must've been another club

    We did have a midfielder we called Princess but that was for a different reason
