This got me thinking, how many other amazingly named players have there been that the world should know about, I'm going to avoid the obvious ones, like a certain German who has a name that sounds like a ladies special area;
- Norman Conquest - Hats off to Mr and Mrs Conquest for this one...born in 1916 Norman was an Australian goalkeeper who spent his entire career down under. Shame really, could have made a killing if he'd played for Hastings.
- Have-A-Look Dube - no word of a lie, Zimbabwean Have-A-Look played for Njube Sundowns.
- Danger Fourpence - move over Austin 'Danger' Powers, Mr.Fourpence has danger as his first name. Danger currently plies his trade in Zimbabwe for Kiglon Bird FC, apparently he's saving up to be able to turn on a sixpence.
- Johnny Moustache - Former Seychelles striker, sounds more like a mafioso than a footballer. A little piece of me hopes he played each game sporting a different comedy 'tache.
- Anthony Philip David Terry Frank Donald Stanley Gerry Gordon Stephen James Oatway - otherwise known as Charlie Oatway, the combative midfielder who retired in 2007. Charlie was given his epic name by his parents who were huge QPR fans and could think of no better way to show their affection than to name their son after the entire 1973 first team...makes Emile Tyson Heskey glad his dad liked boxing. Now, should I lodge an appeal now to call my first born Adam Frank Danny Lubo Matthew JP Tom Paul Andrew Craig Francois...
