    I know it is cruel to make fun of peoples names, Monty Python were very good at inventing silly names for their characters.

    Of the many footballers who have played for Watford who has had the most silly name?

    w_y, I think that's a bit unfair as most of them were foreign. I think that it should be aimed at British Isles and countries such as USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand (although I don't think either a Canadian or New Zealander has ever played for us), etc

    Mark Bright.

    (didn't realise this was Watford-specific, but it's an inappropriate name nonetheless)

    Another one could be Nyron Nosworthy. According to all pundits it is pronounced Noseworthy. What makes him any more worthy of a nose than the rest of us??

    There is also the legendary German Stefan Kuntz.

    Mark Watson - Canadian International
    Vaughan Coveny - New Zealand International - although to be fair, he only played for our reserves.

    I like some of the strange names from the Victorian era - when we had a La Touche, two Strouts, a Conquest and a Gaylard. :)
