I'm partial to the odd player with some kind of cool foreign surname, but cursed with a really naff British first name.

Ian Handysides. Died tragically young, but a wonderful name.
Gary Bannister, productive centre forward for Sheff Wed and QPR in mid to late 80s
Steve Staunton and Muzzy Izzet
Clayton Blackmore when he played for us
Jocelyn Angloma
Benny Harvey RIP
He was always a steadying influence in the dressing room too, someone you could really lean on.
Mehdi Mahdavikia - he was with Iran at the WC 98
This is more like it!Chris Marsden. Never looked like a Premier League footballer. I mean that literally. He looked like a kindly old milkman. Or like a referee who had snuck on to a football team.
But heavens to Betsy the referee in footballer's clothing got away with it as recently as 2004/05, before embarking on a career as Mike Dean.
Barry Venison always springs to mind with things like this.
Vladimir Jugović.
Matt Holland
Mark de Man because of his name.
Jerome Rothen

Obviously there’s tons, but for whatever reason the first name that popped up in my head after reading the title was Obafemi Martins. Decent player in real life and an absolute monster in Fifa. Scored so many blinders with him back in the day.
Darren Ferguson started the first 15 matches of our 1st Premier League title win. It's never talked about how Sir Alex's son was involved that much. Kind of hard to believe.
Tomislav Piplica.
Because of maybe the funniest goal I've ever seen (I couldn't find a good video with live commentary unfortunately).
The way he just falls backwards still cracks me up haha

Mark Viduka when he played for Leeds. No idea why but it seems like he was actually quite a prolific goal scorer in the Prem.
Mark Fish
Manucho
John De Wolf, Dutch football player. He played for The Netherlands in that WC qualifier against England and the British commentator said De Wolf, the Wolf Man. These days he would probably have been suspended for comparing someone to an animal.
Timothee Atouba.
Rodrigo Possebon
