Isn't it amazing that someone called ARSENe Wenger becomes manager of ARSENal, it was meant to be as the coincidence is just too much. If McLeish gets the push from VILLA as looks likely, will Andre VILLAs boas take over? On the same note, when Danny ****tu hangs up his boots will he take over as manager of Ipswich, it is surely meant to be. Anyway on a broader theme, I remember from the days of That's Life when I was young (yes I know, showing my age again) they had a regular feature on appropriate names for jobs and the one that has stuck in my mind all these years is an antique dealer from the South West called Robin Bastard - seriously! Any more offerings please, be they football orientated or more general that fit the bill.
The guy who played the organ at my wedding (1973) was J H Smellie and he was Chief Sanitation Engineer for Norwich City Council.

............cardinal sin was an archbishop of the R.C. church in the philippines in the 80's when i was living there. it's the sort of name you couldn't make up, even locals , devout catholics, recognised the anomaly.
I remember when I lived in Norwich many years ago, the person in charge of the City's refuse collection was a Mr. Smellie!
Excellent ILD, I didn't mean it to be homework but an impressive list nonetheless. I see Robin turned up again!
Sorry Thurnby, got a bit bored at work and needed a bit of a distraction. Could we make some up? i.e. World Bean eating champion....... Donald Trump. ILD OTBC
I once had a Burger King at Stansted airport and as I was eating I happened to glance at the receipt on my tray wjhich informed me that I had just been served by Katie Sausage! I still have that recepit in a drawer somewhere, however the ink wore off a while ago. I always thought the German midfielder Stefan Kuntz was very aptly named
I have an inappropriate name for a job.(Then again, maybe not.) We have a solicitors firm on the IOW called CARELESS AND KEMP. Don't think I'll be using them for any legal matters anytime soon.
Went to school with a guy called Mark Alenius We all called his sister Miss Alenius Also worked with someone called Theresa Wood - she was desperate to get married and change her name.
