    We've all heard unfortunate names for sportsmen from a forward named Fowler to a midfielder named Butt who seems hilarious to americans. But these are only the tip of the iceberg, there's much worse out there.

    So who exactly is the worst?

    For a start I'd nominate last night's left back - Pisas (pronounced ****-ass by the commentators. smile.gif

    Gotta be either that German guy Kuntz or the Dutch guy Vollicks (or Vollyx, however it was spelt - George Hamilton had a field day with him).
    Ever notice that there are certain people who are born to do a certain job?
    Arsene Wenger found his true job a few years ago, and since Brazil recently fired their Manager, one Wanderley Luxemburgo, theres really only one place he can go smile.gif

    I recall an interview with Jimmy McGee where he was saying that there was a hurler in the 60's called Fu<kinger, 'and to my eternal delight he was all over the field' smile.gif

    The Croatian footballer "Asanovic"-...his name when said quickly in a tongue-twisting fashion sounds (a lot) like "a son-of-a-b!tch"....

    Another favourite would have to be Shawn Pollock...the South African fast bowler...I have *no* idea why a single cricket commentator hasn't noticed the remarkable similarity between his name and...well...you get the idea...

    All of these guys are players in Holland.
    Fred Grimm,
    Richard Plug,
    Ronald Hoop,
    Etienne Barmetloo,
    Ruud Coul,
    Tom Pronk,
    Oswald Smith,
    Marc Wiggers,
    Rick Plum,
    Geoffrey Van Ass,
    Ruud Brude,
    Gregory Playfair,
    Michael Knock,
    Walter Smack,
    Eggbert Barwinkle,
    Albert Plugboere.

    And these guys all play in Luxembourg.
    Nico Funk,
    Ralph Bunk,
    Patrick Posing,
    Christian Sinner,
    Frankie Shank,
    Norbert Whooer.

    If these boys got together in a Lowlands team, with Jim Beglin commentating : Guus finds Van Der Donk, looks for Funk finds Bunk, Plug, Pronk, Pronk holds onto it, finds Wiggers then Smith, finds Playfair, Knock, Smack, Playfair, Smith, Pronk...

    You never expect the Beefy Inquisition !!!

    John Motson and Mark Lawrenson commentate in FIFA 2001 - ... whenever Mottie says "Avalardo" (sic?) it sounds like "Have a lager" ... if I was to have one every time I heard him say it... well... *hic*
