Anyone else like Fanni?

I apologise in advance if this breaks any of the forum rules (sorry 999's):

There are reports coming out of France that Marseille defender Rod Fanni is likely to be leaving the club in the summer when his contract expires. The former France International has been linked with a move to Queens Park Rangers in the past after the West London club tried to sign in the last winter transfer market. The prospect of signing an experienced player on a free transfer is a deal that QPR could still be open to.

Le10 Sport have reported that Fanni is the latest Marseille player that looks on the verge in leaving the club. Star forward Andre Pierre Gignac is refusing to sign an extension to his current deal and Ghana international Andre Ayew is also in the same position. Potentially the French club could lose three of their more experience players in the summer with a number of clubs already showing an interest in these developments.

From recent comments by Fanni is looks like his days at Marseille are numbered with claims in France he is already packing his bags. He also send that he would be welcome to a move abroad but also revealed that there are clubs in France interested in him.

“We shall see what happens. I am very attached to the OM . Before coming, I had two wishes. I also spoke about playing abroad and there is a club that could keep me in France. I am unable to say today that I will finish my career at Marseille,” said the player on his future plans.

We covered the story in the last January window that QPR made an attempt to get Fanni on a loan deal for the rest of the season. At the time the full back wasn’t getting much playing time with his club which led to reports he was looking to move on.

 

Heard he's a bit of a cu*t

 

Rod Fanni.....

Now there's a name!

I'm staying out of this one.

 

Isn't he married to Ophelia Buttocks?

 

Craddock.

Providing penetration: New Charlton signing Anil Koc

Charlton Athletic's signing of Anil Koc prompted many a guffaw from the more immature members of the MirrorFootball team this week.

It is reminiscent of the time that Manchester United are scouting Schalke's Christian Fuchs, a period that inspired a host of 'Fuchs off to Old Trafford?' headlines and a lot more sniggering at MirrorFootball Towers.

But neither of those two even make it in to our top 20 of rude footballer names... and neither is Danny ****tu!

If we've forgotten any, let us know.

But otherwise, get stuck into the ultimate top 20 rude footballers.

20) An early England one-cap wonder, Segar Bastard naturally went on to become a referee.
19) Winger Wayne ****lyn played in the same Reading side as keeper Steve Death.
18) Famously lobbed by Nayim, David Seaman ’s nickname at Arsenal was ‘H’ – short for Harry Monk. Another goalkeeper, Stanislav Seman , was in the Czech side which won Olympic gold in 1980.
17) Filipino keeper Alphonse Areola has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham after impressing at Paris St Germain.
16) Former Grasshoppers striker Andre Muff was a former Switzerland team-mate of Bernt Haas .
15) Briefly in the limelight with Independiente and Celta Vigo, Argentinean striker Mario Turdo is currently without a club.
14) Roberto Martinez’s Wigan reign began to go wrong the moment his move for Chilean centre back Waldo Ponce broke down last year. Instead Ponce joined the best-named team in Chile – O’Higgins.
13) Recently assistant manager at Bury, former centre back Peter Shirtliff ’s name caused giggles at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Wolves and Barnsley.
12) One of Kevin Keegan’s worst signings, Dutch winger Brian Pinas made one substitute appearance in nearly two years before returning to Feyenoord.
11) Finally retired at nearly 40, it’s a lasting regret that Czech defender Milan Fukal failed a week’s trial with Leeds in 2006.
10) Part of the Dutch side thumped 4-1 by England at Wembley in Euro 96, Johan de Kock won an unlucky 13 caps for Holland.
9) A £5m disaster from the John Barnes/Kenny Dalglish management team at Celtic, Rafael Scheidt started only three league games for the Bhoys and later joined Botafogo. He lived up to his name.
8) Briefly linked with the Liverpool vacancy before Kenny Dalglish returned, former Brazil defender Argelico ****s is, unsurprisingly, known as Argel.
7) Chelsea disappointed everyone in 2009 by dropping their interest in Independiente keeper Fabian Assman.
6) The number one club in the Peruvian Andes, widely criticised in the mid-‘00s for moving their stadium to the city of Cerro de Pasco, 4,380 above sea level, are named after a local tribe… Deportivo ****a.
5) Long linked with a Premier League move, time is running out for an English club to snap up the services of Marseille right back Rod Fanni.
4) Germany’s Under-20 manager, a former East German international and one-club man with Dynamo Dresden, is named Ralf Minge .
3) While at Benfica, Germany keeper Hans-Jorg Butt was briefly understudy to former Portugal No.1 Quim .
2) Fulham boss Martin Jol’s brothers Richard and Cornelius are known as Dick and Cock . “What’s so funny about this?” the scary Dutchman once raged to a Tottenham press conference, as journos stifled their giggles. “Cock is a common name in the Netherlands.”
1) The former Germany striker who enlivened the video for Baddiel and Skinner’s Three Lions remake in ’88, Stefan Kuntz has embraced his name’s brilliance since becoming general manager of Kaiserslautern, by signing both Danny Fuchs and Florian Dick .
Have we missed out your favourite rude football name (and before you ask, we think Ars Bandit is a hoax)? Let us know below...

Can you imagine what the away supporters would call this guy?

 

Brighton wont be interested

 

Play him alongside Clint Hill. I can hear Gary Linkeker on MotD praising our Fanni-Hill combination

 

With our midfield he'll be left wide open and exposed, and no one to fill the gap

 

How about a bit of Cock then, or even include his brothers?

All is jest - quite the remarkable life & career this chap had.

According to the 1901 census, the eight year-old John G. is the third of five children to James and Eliza, living at 38 Atalanta Street in Fulham, London. His father is an iron trimmer.

According to the 1911 census, Gilbert is revealed to be one of eight children, another had tragically died. He is a moulder at the Iron Foundary and his father remains as an iron trimmer. They all live at 1 Ancill Street in Fulham

Cock scored after only thirty seconds against Ireland, possibly, along with Bill Nicholson, the fastest debut goal in all international football

A somewhat flamboyant character, the best dressed footballer of his day, who had showbiz connections in films and 'on the halls', having a fine tenor voice. In the Great War, he rose to the rank of sergeant major and won the Military Medal and Distinguished Conduct Medal. Was a licensee at New Cross latterly.

John Gilbert "Jack" Cock MM MID (14 November 1893 – 19 April 1966) was an English footballer who played for various English club sides as a centre forward. He also had the distinction of being the first Cornishman to play for the England national team, a decorated World War I soldier, and an actor. His younger brothers, Donald Cock and Herbert Cock, also played professional football.

Jack liked to score too - quite prolific in fact:-

Years........Team....Apps......(Gls)

1914......... Brentford 3 (1)
1914–1919 Huddersfield Town 18 (9)
1919–1923 Chelsea 99 (47)
1923–1925 Everton 69 (29)
1925–1927 Plymouth Argyle 90 (72)
1927–1930 Millwall 115 (77)

National team
1919–1920 England 2 (2)

Owing to his good looks and a tenor voice, Cock appeared on the music hall stage numerous times (during his playing days, he was known for singing before entering the pitch). He also starred in several films, including "The Winning Goal" (1920) and "The Great Game" (1930). He later ran a pub in New Cross. He died in Kensington on 19 April 1966, at the age of 72.

 

Great stuff. He should slot in quite nicely.

 

As long as he denies the opposition penetration.

 

not interested, he can fcuk himself

 

To answer the question that the original post enquired:

I do too!
