    A really cool name is eric cantona. I like Jean Tigana, too.

    I'm sure it's been mentioned in one of the previous threads or maybe even this one but I think Doctor Khumalo is just a great name.

    Surely if you've got a Koch and a Seaman in your list, it wouldn't be complete without our boy Nwankwo coming between the two? Everything, after all, has an explanation.
