Presty On Tour Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Argelico f u c k s - Brazilian who carved out a half-decent career for himself as a central defender, but who is always going to be best remembered as the source of one of football's greatest football headlines: "f u c k s off to Benfica", Eurosport's famous description of his transfer from Palmeiras to Benfica Kick van der Vall - Cult figure in the 70's with Dutch side FC Twente.
Ozz Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Nery Pumpido (Argie goalie) Julio Olarticoechea (Argie defender) Both slightly amusing in the right frame of mind, or lack thereof.
BiggusLaddus Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Edson Arantes do Nascimento Ahem. edit: Ever felt like an absolute fool for trying to be clever and correcting someone who was right to begin with? I just have.
rover6 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Actually, that's reminded me of something I've always wondered - is Tugay meant to be pronounced Tuguy or is that commentary tact adopted to not offend? Also, there was that goddam awful Argie who played for AC Milan - Andre Guglieminpietro (nicknamed Guly). And yes, I did have to look up his name to spell it... Dwight Wille - the Belgian youngster who came on loan to Rovers to play for the academy side. I seem to remember that a few people found his name amusing. Sounds like the sort of thing that Souey would've roared as he threw himself into a two-footed challenge on Dwight Yorke.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Heres are a couple of silly names: Willy Topp who plays for Bradford City & Olivier De Cock who plays for our feeder clubs rivals Club Brugge.
leftfooter Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 What about Alan Sugar's favourite foreigner, Carlos Kickaball?
AlanK Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Vennegoor of Hesselink has to be one of the longest...Anyone remember Edouard Ufarte...None of the presenters would say his surname... Played for Spain in 1982 world cup. Me and my brother used to laugh every time he was mentioned
Presty On Tour Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 bernt haas (sp) probably got a few laughs during commentary
LDRover Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Always rememer the Moroccan Hadaoui, pronounced 'had a wee' and the dismal Bulgarian Getov.
