Pretty much the entire Argentina 1986 World cup team.

Sure you've got your Diego Armando Maradona but you've also got the Jose Luis Brown, Jorge Burruchaga, Daniel Passarella and Julio Olarticoechea. With an honorable mention to Nery Pompido in goal.

Simply Red

(one size) Fitz Hall

Say Sammy Ameobi quickly a few times in a row...

Bruno Martens Indi is a nice one if you say his first name too.

Neville Neville

I always hear a certain David Bowie song in my head when I hear that name.

Bastian Schwiensteiger is my absolute favourite name. It sounds like a great insult.

During the 98 world cup when Baddiel and Skinner were on they had an item where they combined two players surnames to funny effect. Two I remember were Baghieri Arce and Hong Durie.

Reviving this thread to say: Dele Alli.

Ukraine's Tymoschchuk.

To me and my fellow juvenile minded friends, this became 'Tim Was Shook' which concocted the image of a guy called Tim trying to play while absolutely wrecked with a hangover from the night before.

It was funny to us anyway.

Watching the Euros I was amused to see one of the Romanian players called Rat.

A Slovakian player named Kucka, pronounced cooker. I thought he went off the boil against Wales before hob-bling off!

Then England v Russia with Leonid Slutsky, named after a Polish prostitute.

Richard Hillman

Blaise Matuidi
Igor Akinfeev

Mention of Hugh Dallas during the NI game. He sounds like one of those dodgy Country n Irish singers.

Strumms

Stan Valckx

Used to play for Holland and when the commentator said his name fast with the correct prounounciation it sounded like Stan Bollõcks...

Stuart Dallas, not Hugh Dallas.

Hugh Dallas was a former Scottish ref back in the 90s that raised the ire of Celtic fans more than once.

Yeah, just realised the other day he's called Stuart (oops ) Was getting him mixed up with the ref alright. (Still think it sounds like a C & W singer)

The Golden Miller

Has to be Błaszczykowski

Probably a cousin of Westmeath country music star T.R.Dallas

Shame Danny Drinkwater didn't make it onto the England panel. Could have made for a good drinking game.

Ulysses Gaze

Back in the 1990's-2000's there was a goalkeeper in Serie A called Generoso Rossi.

He was prone to the odd clanger, so on highlight shows his first name was used to useful effect. :pac:

Uruguayan coach, Víctor Espárrago

There was a Nigerian footballer on football manager a few years ago called Ice Cream.
