Gareth McOwl-ey?
Mark Bunn(y)
Razvan Rat
Jason Ewe-ll
Paul Lambert
Gareth McOwl-ey?
I haven't heard of him but he reminded me of two others.
Joel Bats (former French goalkeeper)
Vasyl Rats (former USSR midfielder)
I always remember the Orbis World Cup '90 collection and there was a section with great World Cups goals. This was one of them and the headline read... 'Rats beats Bats'.
Gordan Cowans
Steve Bull
Nicolas Anelka
and a 2 for the price of 1 with Lee Cattermole
(The purist in me reckons the only one in the spirit of the OP is Bull, since it's the only one that completely matches the name and the entity. Good game, though!)

Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
Omer Catkic has a special place in Irish footballing memory; he was the Turkish keeper who came on at half-time in a 2003 friendly in Lansdowne Road, but only lasted 25 hilariously bad minutes before being subbed off again.
An '80s/'90s feel with
Ruel Fox
Shaun Goater
Warren Aspinall
And closer to home and today: Dane Massey
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
Gary "Snake" (Leeds and Wales), Michel de Wolf (Marseilles and Belgium), Mark Fish (Charlton and SA), Led Badger (The Blunts), Ruel Fox (Spurs and Monserrat), Done Cowie (Hearts and Scotland), Shaun Goater(Man City and Bermuda), Steve Bull (Wolves and England), Didier Dogba (Chelsea and Diving), Adam LLama (Liverpool and Eng).
Next up the "Snigger XI".
Goalkeeper: David Semen,
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Christian Fuchs, Rod Fanni, Danny ****tu and Francisco Arce give you a decent defence.
Julian Dicks in there too. Maybe Terry Phelan too? Stan Valckx for sure. Lots of rude defenders actually.
Ireland's forward pairing of Long Cox.
They can all play for Deportivo Wanka, of course.
Edit - Stefan Kuntz as well.
Brian Pinas.
Mike Trebilcock scored twice in the 1966 FA Cup Final; his name was too rude for the BBC, who pronounced it "Trebilco"

Gu Sang-bum togged out for South Korea in the '90 World Cup...
Segar Ba5tard played one game for England back in the 1800s...
It was a shame Olivier de C0ck never lined up with Davor Suker on a team sheet...
Home venue has to be the Wankdorf Stadium.
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Tee hee - just found this fella!
Anil Koc...
I seem to remember an old Fantasy Football League where Skinner and Baddiel showed an Aston Villa programme from the 60s which featured a midfield trio of
Brown - Arce - Hole
which made me think of Scheidt (Rafael) who played (very, very badly) for Celtic.
I know we have David Seaman as No 1, but how about Quim as back-up?
BTW, Stu: FFL also did a gag about FIFA making international teams display a national characteristic on their jerseys. The camera cut to a picture of a German player with Kuntz emblazoned on his jersey...

Funny, I was trying to google a Fantasy Football skit along the same lines, of rude sentences from the 1998 World Cup. I found my own post on here from a few years back, where I even got the sentence wrong!
So Karim Bagheri and Julio Arce - big hairy arse.
And on that note - Helloooooo!!!!!
Indeed he did and thank you for reminding me of that. My first football heart ache that I can remember.
David Semen (Arse and Eng), Ron Fanni (Marseilles), Peter Shirtlift (Sheff Wed), Burnt hASS (West Brom and Swiss), Rafael Scheidt (Celtic), Danny ****tu (QPR and Nigeria), Florian Dick (Kaiserlauten), Anal Koc (Eindhoven), Ralf Minge ( Dynamo Dresden and East Germany), Andre Muff (Grasshopper), Simon Cox (Ireland).
Subs: Nicky Butt, Brian Pinas,
Now: on to Body parts:
In Goal: Joe Harte (West ham and Eng)

There was also a goalkeeper called Jonathan Brain on the books at Newcastle at once stage. I see he played most of his career at Macclesfield since then though... so you're probably right to let your Hart rule your Brain on this one.
Joe's got some other competition for the number one spot... who could ever forget...
Silviu Lung (Romania) - I see from his Wiki page that he was involved in a car crash a couple of years where the driver of the other vehicle died. Poor fella.
Eoin Hand (Ireland) can slot in at centre back.
Lee Chin (Wexford Youths) - centre back
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea) - midfielder
Jake Livermore (West Brom) - midfielder
Brian Pinas again.
Cha Bum Kun or something similar played in the 1986 World Cup for South Korea.
Carlton Palm-er
Chris Armstrong - I don't know if we need a rule on whether these ones are allowed; they're technically cheating, but then so was Livermore in the previous post, and many others beside.
I see your Brian Pinas, and raise you Paul Dickov
Yuri Zhirkov was probably worth a spot on the Dirty XI also for pronunciation purposes.
