names of footballers that float through your head

of course the most celebrated Peg Guy = Stefan Postma

Stefan Postma memorial thread

tru story

in the late nineties i was looking thru the daily telegraph's fantasy football player list, and there amid the gary breens and flitcrofts was ARPHEXAD

but for some reason i got the idea he was levantine or caucasian or something

turns out he's french caribbean, ehhh

answer me truthfully: do u have a lexical fetish abt asia minor

nuh

cool names is cool names tho

lol Stefan Postma had a trial with Liverpool ya know. I got his autograph outside Melwood once, no one knew he was.

That was in 98 or 99 btw.

Both clubs have a waterbird on their crest but Swansea's is a swan and ADO's appears to be an egret. Big difference there.

q impressed with this early bid for authority

my old stalwart

Gaston Taument

Carl Muggleton and Crawford Baptie are excellent choices, btw. Crawford Baptie is instantly symbolic of every journeyman SPL plodder in history (like a better Kirk Broadfoot), and Carl Muggleton is an instant symbol of how pish Celtic used to be (see also Martin Hayes, Stuart Slater - who I actually quite liked - and Wayne Biggins).

Jose Quitongo always puts me in mind of Jerome Vareille as well - vaguely crap foreigners who ended up having a very long and not very distinguished career in the arse end of the SPL.

Which brings us nicely on to Danny Invincibile.

nicky summerbee

marlon beresford

ruel fox

Wayne Biggins.

Stern John

Gilles De Bilde and his partner in bringing droll Dutch nomenclature to Sheffield, Wim Jonk

Freddie Dindeleux.

Angel Rangel (which is not as good when you realise it's not pronounced to rhyme)

SIXTO PERALTA

Jermaine McSporran (symbolic of people I know nothing about other than hearing Jeff Stelling mention his name a lot on a Saturday afternoon)

Siphiwe tshabalala. Well just his surname really. Surprised no one in the epl bought the dude.

Mixu Paatelainen

^^^yes

phil jevons

Mixu Paatelainen's real first name is Mika-Matti, btw.

Mika-Matti Paatelainen? That's... beautiful...

Pascal Bedrossian

nico melo

Bernard Diomede

laurent robert

daniel gygax

this was the first name I thought of when I saw this thread

also Bobby Mimms for when I see something about the rapper Mims, which admittedly hasn't been too often of late

I like how the foreignness of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink sneaks up on you.

90 Minutes magazine used to do these proto-The most interesting pieces of soccerball trivia you know (that are 100% false) factoid boxouts and one of them was something like "commentators are required by FA guidelines to refer to Ruel Fox by his full name at all times"

tony yeboah

remember leeds?

how do commentators treat danny fox?

"commentators are required by FA guidelines to refer to Ruel Fox by his full name at all times"

my best friend and I have this meme about Tony Hibbert. It's so true...

well otherwise they might just be saying 'hib' to bert

Pavel Srnicek

how do commentators treat danny fox?

Hopefully with contempt

on a similar note, I watched a St Johnstone game on the telly once when everyone was referred to by their surname except for Chris Miller (which they ran into one word ChrisMiller, which had the annoying side effect of me having Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in my head for the rest of the day)

Chris Millar has won all three SFL championships, only the SPL to go for the full set.
