Or Germany and be called Kuntz. No, being half Spanish was the clincher, so that's why this title. Lopez Ufarte was mentioned in Phill Ball's 'Morbo' playing ball on the beach in San Sebastian/Donostia. First time I heard him mentioned in years.

remember last season someone put up the rovers v liberec line up and one of the liberecs' players names had his name blanked out?


i wonder what he was called? :confused: :p i think it was ******!

sure we went through that with Nwankwo

No father, tis not me. I'm was born in bondage and have always been exiled in Babylonia under King Nebuchadnezzar. And my old man's from Dublin originally.

A few weeks ago I was at work (on the tube here) and this manager came along with a school party of five-year-olds (trainee graffiti artists I thought). He got in with me and I noticed from his accent that he was from Cork. Like all good managers he also had his name badge and rank. Anyway, I looked at the name and it said 'Sean Lopez.' :eek: I nearly fell off the seat. I said that isn't a very Irish name and he laughed. Transpired he was from Kinsale and his father was German but with a Spanish father who came over to set up some sort of aircraft place where he met the bloke's mother. Strange but true!! :cool:

It was just him in the cab with me - perfectly legal as he was a 'railway official' which,apologies, may not have been made clear earlier by me. The kids had to wait until I got to the end of the line (branch shuttle up in Cajun country Buckinghamshire) and the train was fully secured before they could come in, blow the whistle and basically attempt to cause general mayhem. :D

One of the best young chessplayers in the country is one Alex Lopez from Cork. Has to be related - anything else would be taking the pi$$.

It was at Chalfont instead of Chesham - or Chechnya as we call it at work. Two names in the phone book type of gaff...and one is Patel. :D

That is true, I remember him utterly kicking my ass around the board a number of years back.

Listen my little fat, brown, friend (although I'm close to you in the brown stakes at the mo following my peaceful convalescence on the Costa de la luz): It's simple. There is one Indian takeaway in Chesham and the boss's brother runs a newsagent. Everyone else? Same surname! Just think Deliverance - or that film with Nicole Kidman and River Phoenix's brother (Caesar in Gladiator?) and the remark about hanging around trailer parks f*cking your cousins - and you'll get the picture. :D

Father the brake's on those metropolitan line train's that Lopez drive's are fine, in fact the brake's seem to be alway's in use, it's the fcuking accelarator that's missing.The metropolitan line could even be twined with the laus, after all hardly anyone has seen either in action yet.

The Metropolitan line has seen as much action over the past 15 years as John Holmes of 'Girls On Fire' fame. :eek: :o

Ya but 4tothefloor doesn't mean a rave, which is what you're on about. Is just a journalistic term that describes mainly the harder side of dance music, such as techno, trance and some types of house. That and a rave are two completely different things.

Regarding Northern Soul - don't know anything about it, so it means nothing to me. As far as i'm concerned 4tothefloor comes from dance music, if it does apply to Northern Soul as well, i'm sure its a very different type of 4\4!

Whats namby pamby btw??!

this seems to be the time for resurrections of old threads.

anybody else feel like giving us the lowdown on where they got their foot.ie name from.
there are a few unexplained beauties out there :D

Been called a few things in my time, but never an "Unexplained beauty". :D
Mine's name's easy enough. As a comic book anorak wearer I went for Green Goblin, Spiderman's arch enemy. There have been a few Irish superheroes over the years (There's an X-MAN called Banshee, for e.g.), but the GG just sounded right for foot.ie
"Green", obvious enough, and "Goblin" purely for the inuendo value.

Good on ya! :D


Name's Liam.........born in 1988 ;)

What a year though ey? Stuttgart, Celtic centinery, me being born....... ;)

Dont know sory :D :D :D :D :)

Sorry of this has been done before.

What is the story with YOUR username on Foot.ie?

Mine is from the "That Guy" character in futurama, the guy frozen in the 80's who is like Gordon Gekko from Wall Street!

Well I'm from Drumcondra and I'm a Red so Drumcondra Red!

Done before as well! ;)

Well I'm from Raheny and I'm a Red so Raheny Red!

Your welcome.

It's my real name. On forums where a certain degree of anonymousity is required I go under the moniker Nocturnal Me. Sounds goth and refers to my favourite band Echo & The Bunnymen.

I also had Forbidden Snowflake on one forum long ago, and Tsunami at one where nicknames had a max length of 10 characters (my cat is named Tsunami and it's a nice song by the Manics)

A few of the users on here knew my older sister first then met me and so i was called babysis. So when I joined foot.ie, it seemed the right username:)

Funny how that happens! I used to play hockey (I know...:o ) in UCD - I was known as Burko...because that's (nearly) my name. My sister started playing for the firsts a couple of years later and was MiniBurko. I stopped playing three or four years ago, but she's still called Mini, and I'd say most of the people who call her that haven't a clue why! I've even been introduced to people as "the original Burko"! :p

Mine's a bit similar to Drumcondra red and Raheny red's except I'm from Sligo and I'm(well nearly:o) a man:p.

My second name is Ambrose which a friend in school changed to Amby to Hammy to Hamish in the space of a few seconds. The West Ham factor helped.

There wasn't much he could do with Noel.:D

I was also called Sir Alf by my mates in the local footie club. When they heard about Hamish they dropped the Alf bit and called me Sir Hamish.

Eventually, Sir bit was quickly dropped and I've been called Hamish since I was 13.

Had to reactivate the "Sir" bit when I got a computer 'cos someone already had Hamish taken.

Kids in school called me Archie after Archie Gemmill when they saw me play for the local football club.:o

did you score a goal reminiscent to gemill against holland in 78 once?:)

My uncle who plays for Bray, his nickname is tarzan! I'm called that alot of the time!!! Thats why i have the tarzan bit and the 1 is because i'm his number 1 fan!!!

Birth Cert:cool: .

Eh.......no.........the name related more to Archie's delightfully placid on field temperament.:o

My full name is Anthony McCluskey and im from Dublin so Anthony was shortened to Anto(as you do) but someone had Anto on here so i became Anto McC :)

Anto McC are you not a Boez hoolie

CLICK

:eek:

:D

Do people here use their same user name on pther forums or do any of yous change it for different forums??
