JonesyOAFC Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I've always thought Stern John was a great name. I can just imagine him being deadly serious all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandLatic Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Lord Ndiwa Kangana? Or one of my favourites off champ manager 3 , Mario Turdo, which led to the word 'Mario' being used to describe things as s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Belgium used to have a goalie called Dropsi. QPR had Hans Steijstil as well (Hands Stay Still) in goal for a time too! But not Latics players ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Bernt Haas My all time favourite, although Stern John is another. I would be amazed if the signing of Bongo Christ didn't get several thousand new fans through the doors. Until they realise he is crap.

opinions4u Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I remember a World Cup where Baddiel and Skinner's 'Fantasy Football' programme was on. 1998 I think. They had a spot about merging two players names in to one. Morocco had a player called Baghairy and Chile had a full back called Arce. Nuff said.

lonelylaticsfaninaus Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Our local horse vet is called Ray Horsey and some of you may remember the vet in Bury whose name was Mr P. Nut and his unfortunate wife, who must have really loved him, was called Hazel. They didn't play for Latics though!

The said left back fired one of his tradmark shots just past the post. "Dicks inches wide" yelled the excited commentator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldhamSheridan Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Has no one mentioned Beavers Agogo yet? If anyone has a better name than Otto van Smart then I am yet to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 "Dicks inches wide" yelled the excited commentator. In which case I presume his nickname was, "Chode?" Nobody in school ever believed me that the Irish foriegn minister was called, "Dick Spring," this being one of the most common terms of playground abuse at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
