    John Toshack. Toshack means bollocks in Turkish or something to that extent. I asked a Turkish friend if this was true, and apparently it is. The whole country had quite a laugh when he was manager of Besiktas.

    Andrea Fortunato - Juventus

    In May 1994, he was diagnosed with leukemia. He died 11 months later from pneumonia.

    He was considered one of the great prospects of his generation. So, an unfortunate name.
