"Amusingly named footballers/ other sportsmen"

There is probably a list of them somewhere and it would be better if nobody cheated, but the challenge i am setting the good citizens of the sports forum is to find amsusingly named footballers/sportsmen. They don't have to be particularly rude. Just have crazy names. Whilst alexey Gay and Milan Fukal havce raised a smile for every Champo player. we want some subtle ones too.

Bernt Haas has to be the best named footballer/sportsmen of all time. I challenge you too beat it.

Thats correct.

Can only think of Dickov, Titov and the new Spurs defender 'defendi'

I loved that name as soon as he appeared, kept on saying it in a stereotypical german accent every time he got the ball.

Got this from the 98' world cup version of Fantasy Football

Francicso Arca (Paraguay footie player)

and Bagheeri (Iran footie player)(dunno his first name)

Put them together and you have

Bagheeri Arca
translating to Big hairy @rse

There was this guy called Matt (Matthias) Brand who played for VfB Stuttgart or some other Kraut team in the mid/late 90s, at least there was according to my brother after doing some player searches on Champo 3, some time ago

William Prunier - yes, he was about as useful as a PRUNE, in our defence! :P

Not sure how to spell his name:

Nwankwo Kanu

Danny Invincible.

Love it.
