Funny player names
#1
Feel free to post any funny football player names that you know. Can be past and present players.

My personal favourites are:
1. Sokratis Papastathopoulos of Borussia Dortmund which sounds like the Greek version of KY Jelly.
2. Sven Kums of Anderlecht which sounds like the name of a male Swedish Porn Star.

My apologies for this thread BaggieVicar.  Whistle

Do you mean Rod Fanni who plays for Marseille?

If only Sven Kums and Rod Fanni played for the same team.

"Neat passing by Marseille. Sven Kums to Fanni".

Paul Cannell, whose autobiography had this title:  'Fuckin Hell, it's Paul Cannell'

His words, introducing his book:

"I used to be a professional footballer in the 70's and the 80's, not great, but not bad either. The Geordies would call me a ' canny' player. You may have heard of me, not because of my footballing prowess, but because of my 'name'.
'Fuckin Hell, it's Paul Cannell' the phrase first coined by Brummie comic genius Jasper Carrott has followed me for the thirty odd years since I left Newcastle United."
