Just read that Jack Cork's middle name is Porteous. How do you live a name like that down? Lineker's middle name was Winston. John Wayne's first name was Marion. Any other footballers (or perhaps us fans) with silly names?
Sadly my initials gave cause to my nickname eons ago. B A G. During military service was called carrier.
There's the hermaphroditically-named Rod Fanni, which I always liked. There was a time Celtic wanted to sign him, the players they had in the team at the time would have made the backline read Naylor - Balde - Fanni. If only the deal came off!
Still don't know how to pronounce Poortvliet. More silly names, thanks to Wikipedia: Kelvin Geoffery Davis Jonathan Ronald James Forte Guilherme do Prado Raymundo Radhi Ben Abdelmajid Jaidi David James..............Connolly Alexander Mark David "Alex" Oxlade-Chamberlain Nigel Howard Adkins Francis Vincent Benali Kevin Cyril Davies Antti Mikko Niemi Paul Norman Telfer
Now that could get confusing! I wonder if any of the Saints boys are aware of their fan adopted nicknames....I wonder if Jaidi knows hes a Jedi, or if Scheiderlin realises that he is in fact spiderman.
Ãstlund must have loved being Jesus...you would have an excuse for everything. Im sure there must be some offensive nicknames out there? M.Svensson must have been very upset about being known as 'Killer'....he was a member of greenpeace.....oh dear
Nothing silly about it Fran.......he is named after one of the three musketeers.......he'll do for me ......
True enough, he obviously likes his song - probably sings along to it when hes on the pitch! Next thing we will see 'Makes Messi Look Sh*te' on the back of Lallana's shirt. Thing about that though, is that Super Kelvin Davis is in a song, unless i missed it, Spiderman and the Jedi are not yet written into songs?
