I'm bored.

Let's list some of the funny names of footballers.

There was a guy I heard of, who played for AS Cannes in France, called Jimmy Modeste. I remember joking with friends that he would score goals by the bucketload, and when interviewed after the match, would say things like, "well, it's a team game..."

The famous Stefan Kuntz and his contribution to the football's coming home vid.

Fuchs, used to laugh at the commentators making sure they pronounced it fooooks.

Wankdorff stadium in Berne, or somewhere like that.

I tried to think of some funny plays on words but couldn't get out of the gutter. I'll try again.

Bobo Balde is pretty funny though, no reason, just is.

I seem to remember, some years ago, that Alan Dicks was a manager of either Bristol City or Rovers and was going through a tough spell of management. The fans wanted him sacked and the cry from the terraces was "Dicks out" !!

I wonder if the fans realised what they were chanting?:confused:

Remember the old cricket phrase that raised a few eyebrows? Here it is:

"The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willy..."

Classic.

Although I've never heard the following one myself, my mate guarantees me that this one actually happened:

"...and Cox is on the ball, and Seaman's coming out!"

"Kiriakos," in Farsi, means, "Dicky Vagina."

It's not football, but NASCAR driver Rich Trickle used to go by Dick Trickle.

Honest! Really!

I still laugh when I hear 'Ivanschitz' on tv. Makes me wonder, why would Ivan be any different from the rest of us?
