Title: Best footballing names XI Post by: Flashheart on Saturday, April 3, 2021, 12:42:43 It does exactly what it says on the tin.
The best XI on nothing other than how cool their names are. Max Power goes in midfield for me. Title: Re: Best footballing names XI Post by: Nemo on Saturday, April 3, 2021, 12:48:18 Max Power also royally pissed off Karl Robinson yesterday, so it's not just his name that is excellent. (edit: I see from the other thread that this is how we got to this point)
I've always enjoyed saying Chris Kiwomya, just an enjoyable sound. Obviously Invicibile of this parish (Pullen can stay out of this with his "in-vinc-chee-blay" nonsense). Title: Re: Best footballing names XI Post by: JBZ on Saturday, April 3, 2021, 12:49:47 John Smith of STFC and other clubs

Title: Re: Best footballing names XI Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, April 5, 2021, 12:42:18 Anyone remember the brilliantly named Julian broddle. He used to get a bit of stick from the shrivvy. Scunny player IIRC.Title: Re: Best footballing names XI Post by: Mr Stevens on Monday, April 5, 2021, 12:47:02 I recall an opposing team's substitute coming on at the County Ground and, when it was announced that his first name was Julian, lots of amusement and catcalls ensued. To his credit, he waved at the Shrivenham Road at the end of the game.
To my mind, the archetypal footballing name was Billy Tucker. The Alf Tupper of football. Title: Re: Best footballing names XI Post by: Wobbly Bob on Monday, April 5, 2021, 12:56:48 I do remember the stadium announcer struggling to suppress a guffaw or two with the Reading no 8, Wayne Wanklyn, before a game in the late 70's.
