There used to be an NFL player called Yancey Thigpen, one called Webster Slaughter and a baseball player called Darryl Strawberry that I always used to enjoy.

Ralf Minge played up front for East Germany in the eighties.
Danny ****tu always makes me smile and who can forget the portugese goolkeeper Quim?

 

[Resurgam]

Not forgetting the German player.....Kuntz.

I believe there was a Spanish player called Eupharte......that got some mileage.

Carsten Janker and Michael Ballack just invite ridicule.

Danny Invincible springs to mind. Poor name for someone who played for Swindon, Kilmarnock and St Johnstone

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch master]

At QPR- they used to sing 'You've got xxxxxx - and we've got ****tu'. loved it.

Cricket in India - can't remember which city, is played in the '****hede' stadium...

The guy who played the organ at my wedding was J H Smellie and he was Chief Sanitation Officer for Norwich City Council. Also there is a Maori Tribe in New Zealand called the Ngati Whakaue, pronounced Natty ****arewe. Wh is pronounced F in Maori.
On another note, I worked with a guy called Albert Littlecock. He used to get it really extracted and as he got older it really got to him. After a lot of thought I told him to change his name. He was reluctant but after much persuading he went ahead and did it. And now he is called Eric he doesn't get any pisstaking at all.

Not a sporting one, but one of the producers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer was called Thomas W****r

 

[Bergkamp a Dutch master]

some Indian commentators started saying 'Iron Bottom comes into bowl'......

An ex's mum was a teacher and she had a Kid called Orson in her class shame his surname was Cart - true story...

There was a couple who live in Great Snoring called Mr and Mrs Gotobed. My mate rang them up representing Jarrolds and offered them a free bed testing. They fell for it hook line and sinker.
Had a teacher at school called Rhoda Hagg, she was quite the witch. Another called Mr Kerr whose name invited all kinds of fun.
A bloke at Uni was called Richard Head (what were his parent's thinking????)

 

[ThaiCanary]

How about a Mr Clittarris (seriously!). A customer of mine from UK

He pronounced it Clint Harris to try and cover any embarrassment, poor fellow

A bloke at Uni was called Richard Head (what were his parent's thinking????)

hhmmm, wonder if that's the same one I met some years back

 

[Walsh.i.am]

Kind of off topic but a friend of mine pulled a great one at work a few years ago.
He told a female colleague " my girlfriend needs a bikini wax before our holiday, I'm a little embarrassed could you book it for me?"

So he handed her the number and she called " Hello, I'd like to book a bikini wax, please"
"I'm sorry madam, I think you have the wrong number"
"But I thought I'd phoned Bush Management!?"

(Bush Management is a property letting agent in Norwich, for those who don't know)
