Graffito Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 Remember when Saints had Crouch and Poke on the bench.
Kingsland Codger Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 French Rugby player Faraj Fartass http://result.nanjing2014.org/IRS/ENG/ZB/ZBB101A_YO2014RU@@@@@@@ENG_number=79284.htm And another French rugby player who deserves a mention ... Jean Condom.
Kingsland Codger Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 And in cricket, Brian Johnson (RIP) once made an unfortunate spoonerism with the fast bowler Asif Masood. Describing the bowler's action, the great John Arlott (RIP) said “Asif takes a step and then like a butler who has seen something he should not have, takes two steps back.”
sagem2005 Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 In the same vain as Mary Hinge what about Kenny Lunt (Crewe, Sheff Wed & Hereford)

norwaysaint Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 Can't think of any footballers, but the common British surname Fitter always makes Norwegians s****** for the same reason we like the name ****z, although in this case the spelling's spot on too.

Saint-Fred Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florian_**** Ars Bandeet This one could be an urban legend, but apparently this was the name of an Algerian international in the 1970s.
FarehamRed Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 And in cricket, Brian Johnson (RIP) once made an unfortunate spoonerism with the fast bowler Asif Masood. Describing the bowler's action, the great John Arlott (RIP) said “Asif takes a step and then like a butler who has seen something he should not have, takes two steps back.” Another Johnson (I think) masterpiece: "The batsman's Holding, the bowlers' Willie..." Much corpsing.
bender Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 David Semen surely. In fact I remember us getting round the back to penetrate the box only for semen to come out.

The Saint Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 (edited) I'll never forget Roberto López Ufarte He played in the 1982 World Cup and I think it was Jimmy Greaves co-commentating and the two of them just had fit of the giggles at one point during the game. Just one of those Peter Sellers moments. Priceless..... Edited 9 January, 2015 by The Saint
Dark Munster Posted 9 January, 2015 Posted 9 January, 2015 Nicky Butt. I remember John Motson commentating on a match in which NB was playing, and at one boring stage of the game tried to say something clever, along the lines that Butt was playing just like his name. After a few seconds of silence realizing his faux pas, he then spent the next minute trying unsuccessfully to come up with a convoluted explanation of what he meant.
