Danny Invincible, well his name was up every wkd on Soccer Saturday so he must have been handy in Scotland.
Andy Cole for definite.
I always thought Van Basten, Van Nistelrooy and Solskjaer all sound like really potent striker names. Probably put Huntelaar in that bracket too.
Abi TITmus?
Prehaps a bit off topic but still the funiest name I've heard
EX Colorado House of Representatives member Randy Baumgardner
George Best ?
CFL player Sandy Beverage always gives me a laugh...
Bryan Gunn certainly got 'fired' last weekend.
Girl on the god channel last night called Evangeline Wiener.
Don't know why I was watching the god channel, but apparently this Evangeline chick healed a tumor growing on this womans side by putting her hand on it and praying. Also was able to make this paralysed jamaican woman walk again. I was tempted to buy a tree to be planted in Israel after her performance.
What a load of horse shyte. Thought the name was funny though...
Michael Sligoman
Caster Semenya = "A secret man? Yes"
Roy (Extremely) Keane:p
Former Celtic FC player Rafael Scheidt
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Scheidt
Stephen(I think I'm too good to play for) Ireland
Karim Bagheri. He was big n' hairy.
Sort of.
If I was being particularly mean, I could say Stefan Kuntz. But I'm not. So I won't
Jim Flanagan. No explanation needed, obviously.
I know not quite the same but everytime (much to my son's annoyance) Louis Saha would touch the ball when I used to (in my best Nelson from the Simpson's voice) go "saahaa"
Best anagram ever :DQuote:

I thought it was [poor South African accent] Caster's a man, yeah?
Whenever I hear Tony Hibbert's name from a commentator, I pronounce it like Comic Book Guy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FgQTAtZzOgQuote:

Remember a very funny bit on Fantasy Football League at the 1998 WC, where they were making phrases by putting together the surnames of players in the various squads.Quote:

Anyway, back on topic:
Dave Kitson - always the first ready to head out on the training pitch. ;)
Or, my very favourite...
...Dugarry Wilmots

Speed Racer. He raced. At speed
Anyone mention Alan Ball or Robbie Fowler?
or Amy Winehouse

Charlton used to have premier league centre backs Jorge Costa & Jon Fortune, always made me chuckle
Damien Rushe (to the ball)
Belgian defender Mark De Man.
Mark Noble I'm sure is an honourable man.
You left out Mark FishQuote:
