livi Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Just seen the following report on BBC Sports website. Jordan Nobbs grabbed two goals as Sunderland beat Watford 4-2 to move four points clear at the top of the Women's Premier League. I wonder if there are any other unfortunate names which raise a chuckle on a Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniwildcat38 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Was there not an Ian (?) Boak at Morton during the 70's A different type of football but there's a Travis Boak playing for Port Power in the AFL (Aussie Rules). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'm sure that when Hearts played Standard Liege in the European Cup, they had a player called: Bongo Bongo! Close enough, Bill. It was Bonga Bonga. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bonga_Bonga It sticks in my mind as an old regular from my local spoke about him scoring against us and the pub manager (a Hobo) laughed him down. Anyway, it ended up a pint bet - with the old Jambo being proved right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldstone Wonder Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Was there not an Ian (?) Boak at Morton during the 70's I'm sure Morton had Jim Boag, Martin Doak and Ian Clinging all playing for them at the same time in the mid-80s. My personal favourite is Kenny Lunt.

Mid Calder Jambo Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Slightly off the football subject but still a good one all the same. In a cricket test between England and the West Indies in to 70's or 80's the commentator came out with the classic "the batsman's Holding the bowlers Willey". Still gets me now.

kevmacd Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 There was a section of the football pubcast podcast about funny names XI last week, most of the names above were mentioned. They also had a keeper called God, and refered to a possible headline of 'God saves but Jesus nets the rebound' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
