I always remember the commentary from Barry Davies, BBC when England were playing Germany in the Euro 96 SF, and Stephan Kuntz got their equalizer......

"And Germany have scored.............Kuntz"

I beg your pardon Barry !!!! :lol:

Hadji sounds like it might mean something dirty in some language

Mame though gives Mame Biram Diouf a slight feeling of incest

The mid-1980s Chelsea midfield pairing of Spackman and Bumstead used to amuse me as a child (and still does, if I'm completely honest).

But you can't do much better than Bayern Munich's Manfred Bender.
Kerry Dixon was in the same team

Near to nowhere, in the suburbs of Amnesia.
A programme from the 1950s was once shown on Fantasy Football, it was West Brom I think and the half-back line was "Brown Arce Hole". It appeared to be the genuine article.

Another name from our recent past, unless someone already called it is Dong Fengzhou.

Isn't Kuyt some kind of Aussie slang for crumpet?
