http://www.openplay.co.uk/blog/top-27-funniest-names-in-football/ 1. Norman Conquest Norman Conquest, was a goalkeeper, unfortunately remembered for shipping 17 goals in one game. However his invasive name more than makes up for his abilities. 2. Mark de Man You really could not design a more apt name for a footballer. Mark De Man is Belgian and plays for KSC Hasselt 3. Peter Pander He is a German football official who has had dealings with Vfl Wolfsburg and more recently Borussia Monchengladbach. 4. David Goodwillie Goodwillie is a young Scottish striker for Dundee United who has been involved with a few controversies in his short career so far… 5.

Michael Gash Gash is a striker for Kidderminster Harriers having previously played for Cambridge United 7.Fabian Assman Fabian Assman is an Argentian goalkeeper playing for Independiente in the Primera División in Argentina. A really good question for any goalkeeper is ‘do you prefer Seaman or Assman?’ 8.

Argelico ****s 38-year-old ****s is now retired having played from 1992 to 2007 with 10 different teams across the world. You can imagine the field day journalists had every time he changed club… 10.

Danny Invincible An Australian who played for Swindon and Kilmarnock where he single-handedly saved Swindon from relegation in 2001/02 making him truly invincible. 13. Wolfgang Wolf Is a former player for FC Kaiserslautern and now German football coach. What a brilliant name he has, reminds us of ‘Neville Neville’ – Gary Neville’s father. 14. André Muff Muff is a retired Swiss striker who played from 1999 to 2009 with two appearances for Switzerland. Unfortunately his career was blighted by injuries. 15. David Seaman It would be a traveesty no to have one of England’s most legendary goalkeepers (and a fine ice skater too) on this list. 16.

Uwe Fuchs Was a former Middlesbrough striker, helping them win promotion to the Premier League and obtaining cult status before he was brutally dropped despite scoring 9 goals in 13 games. 21. Ars Bandeet Supposedly an Algerian footballer in the 1970s, there seems to be thin evidence of his existence but he is certainly included either way. 22. Rod Fanni Rod Fanni plays for Marseille in French Ligue 1 and has five caps for the France. For some reason his name makes us laugh the most… 23. Creedence Clearwater Couto Otherwise known as Paulista (little wonder he chose that), Creedence is a Brazilian striker for Santa Cruz. Over the years he has become frustrated by his reputation for his great name, rather than footballing abilities. 24. Dean Windass A talented sportsman, Dean Windass was a Striker for Hull City, Bradford City and several other clubs with 732 games and 234 goals. 25.

Ralph minge used to fanny about too much !, what about Kuntz the german player i remember Motty kept saying his name throughout the match, it was brilliant, Kim bum suk the Korean player, bang one tit the South korean player, Foo king crap the Chinese player and who flung dung.
That reminds me of the prank pilots names on the San Francisco plane crash last year http://deadspin.com/pranked-tv-station-reports-ho-lee-fuk-wi-tu-lo-as-758955806 it's in bad taste, but you've got to laugh at the stupidity of the TV station for reporting it without even realising.
Can you remember the reporter who said if Stefan had 10 sons there could be 11 Kuntz on the pitch. He was promptly taken off air never to commentate again.
