Title: It’s all in the name Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Monday, August 26, 2019, 18:03:57 Going to be a short thread this, but here goes.
I noticed on Saturday that a player called Hamilton actually plays for Hamilton Accies Racked my aging brain to think of any others - to no avail.

I noticed on Saturday that a player called Hamilton actually plays for Hamilton Accies Racked my aging brain to think of any others - to no avail. Sid Swinden played for us. Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: river monster on Monday, August 26, 2019, 18:36:00 Stephen Ireland played for Ireland.
Seem to remember a player named Hartley and a player named Poole both playing for hartlepool a few years ago. Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:15:44 This sounds like an ideal subject for a Danny Baker phone in. Justin Edinburgh (God rest his soul) never played for Edinburgh City...Mike England never played for England, what with being Welsh and all that... George Paris never played for PSG although I'm sure he wishes he had...not even Red Star... I realise I'm not being much help😣
A couple of years back, Braintree Town had strikers by the names of Marks & Sparkes....shit...wrong subject...🙄... never mind... Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: 4D on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:23:14 Fred Blackburn played for Blackburn Rovers
Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:27:35 Fred Blackburn played for Blackburn Rovers Chris Blackburn didn't... again, not much help...Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: singingiiiffy on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:27:40 there was a fella in the news who had the exact name of the club he was playing for
edit Bradley Stoke Town fc. not exactly well known! Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:38:18 There's a team in Scotland called Keith and a team in Wales called Barry. And of course let's not forget Arnold Town who are currently plying their trade in the Abacus Lightning Central Midland League...I know... totally missing the point...but that's what would have happened if it was a Danny Baker phone in...
Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: DiV on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:39:16 Wayne Carlisle....didn’t play for Carlisle...
Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, August 26, 2019, 19:41:56 Wayne Carlisle....didn’t play for Carlisle... I'm kicking myself 😆Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Gwah on Monday, August 26, 2019, 20:09:48 There's a team in Scotland called Keith and a team in Wales called Barry.

Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Legends-Lounge on Monday, August 26, 2019, 20:47:52 I’m sure some cunt played for Scunthorpe once.
Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Red Frog on Monday, August 26, 2019, 21:10:24 George Best was. David Busst eventually was.
Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Nemo on Monday, August 26, 2019, 21:19:01 I used to enjoy Wolfgang Wolf managing Wolfsburg. And Arsene obviously.
We had Charlie Comyn-Platt for a bit which was part of my dream niche suburb XI (We could have signed Wayne Shaw to join him and maybe claimed David Stroud too) Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Flashheart on Monday, August 26, 2019, 21:30:13 David Busst That memory just sent shivers down my spine. Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: 4D on Monday, August 26, 2019, 23:41:45 Yep, Coventry City at Old Trafford

I would love to think that he lives in Liden. Handy for Coate Water and everything. Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Ginginho on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 06:38:23 Would Theo Walcott qualify?
Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Ardiles on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 06:54:52 Surely.
Bit of a stretch, this, but there's Frank ('Nobby') Newberry. Newbury is just a small town in Swindon, after all. http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Person.asp?PersonID=NEWBERRF Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 08:18:56 Excellent work. Could we find nine players of the surname Elm to bulk out the side a bit perhaps?
There was a cricketer called Eldine Baptiste too, perhaps he has some footballing namesakes. Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 08:46:23 We did have a similar thread a couple of years back..

With Mrs Thursday as cleaner (old git reference, there) Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: pauld on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 10:42:31 Park North Ji-Sung?

With Mrs Thursday as cleaner (old git reference, there) Fans of Jasper Fforde will prefer Thursday Next foir the Swindon connection.

Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: horlock07 on Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 10:55:07 Sadly the stories that Man Utd were going to sign Stefan Kuntz turned out to be false!

I would love to think that he lives in Liden. Handy for Coate Water and everything. He could get a decent house on the bit by Snodshill roundabout. If is teamed up with Snodgrass in a few years as he gets close to retirement, could that be tenuous enough, if the grass on the roundabout is termed as such? Title: Re: It’s all in the name Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, 12:56:12 The referee for Cambridge v Oldham on Saturday was Scott Oldham. Oldham won 2-1.
I've wondered in the past if Keith Stroud could do FGR, so yes? |
