Rid Skwerr Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Following on from a funny podcast I was listening to (The Bugle - highly recommended), they mentioned some baseball players with cracking names, such as -  Gaylord Perry http://sabr.org/biop...person/f7cb0d3e  Dickie Thon http://www.homerunca...all-cards.shtml  "Ugly" Johnny Dickshot http://img.moonbuggy...ohnny-dickshot/  and my personal favourite - Rusty Kuntz http://thescrublist....-of-day_04.html   any more from the wide world of sport?

Jaggernaut Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Reminded by the thread on Capone and the Bullets further down the forum, I've always been amused that in the late 1920s we had Elliott and Ness in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Rod Fanni - Marseille defender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Fanni  Olivier De **** - Ex Club Brugge defender - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_De_Cock  Argelico ****s aka Argel - Ex Benfica and Porto defender http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argel_(footballer)  Some of Argel's fame stems from his surname, which is identical to both the plural noun form and to the (singular third-person) present indicative verb form of the vulgar English word "****". This led to some double entendre headlines including one from Eurosport.com titled "****s off to Benfica". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
