Cristiano Roanldo dos Santos Aveiro.
Hulk.
Julius Aghahowa. CM legend.
Anyone called Axel makes it onto the list.
Mario Gomez. Always thought that was a cool name, especially for a striker.
Zinedine Zidane.

In a category of his own...
Emile Ivanhoe Heskey.

And the winner of this thread...

Socrates. The coolest footballer ever with a simple name that can't get better or more sophisticated than that. FWIW in full his name is Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieiera de Oliveira.

EDIT : Danger Fourpence - Zimbabwean defender with CAPS Utd FC and team-mate of the equally brilliant Clever Muzuva, Raymond Undi, Blessing Makunike, Marvel Samaneka, Heavens Chinyama, Givemore Manuella, Gift Makolonio, Method Mwanyazi, Limited Chicafa and Zambian Laughter Chilembe. Surely the finest named team ever.
