Funny Footballers

No German Kuntz apparently.

1) David Seaman (England)

2) Bent Skammelsrud (Norway)

3) Tugay (Turkey)

4) Hans-Joerg Butt (Germany)

5) Michael Ballack (Germany)

6) Francesco Totti (Italy)

7) Bogdan Lobont (Romania)

8) Milan Fukal (Czech Republic)

9) Philip Cocu (Netherlands)

10) Quim (Portugal)

The last one is a classic and I suppose if we are talking about funny footballers we really should include Phillip Neville in there. He makes me laugh every time I see him play!.

But, but, but....what about the much lamented Brian Pinas? [stands back and waits for all those classics from the former bbs to be revisted]

The listed players are in Euro 2000, the commentators are probably making up different pronou, pronounc...ways of saying the names to avoid embarrasment.

Don't forget that great Hungarian from the 50's Arhse Furcker. Ok maybe the last one was a bit made up.

South Korea's Dum Fuk

Norway's Onma Hede

and Croatia's Kok Suker

Any of you coming to Brussels in the next couple of weeks will also be able to delight in the name of one of the metro stations on the way to the stadium. It's called KunstWet in Flemish. Don't say it too fast. By the way if things go wrong it could be England v Turkey in the quarter final in Brussels.

The Makems have decided to part company with old Monkey Heed and in line with the current trend of appointing a manager who has a name that bears a striking resemblance to the name of the club itself, like Arsen Wenger at Arsenal.......The Makems are actively seeking an inteview with Sephan Kuntz.
