Place name XI

Recommended Posts

Just a bit of fun really I wonder whether a decent team could be created with players who have place names as surnames e.g. Justin Edinburgh, Jason Scotland, Clarke Carlisle etc.

               Ivan CORDOBA   Jack CHARLTON    Mike ENGLAND

Stephen IRELAND   Bobby CHARLTON   VAN Bommel  Luis VALENCIA

                  Matt DERBYSHIRE VAN Nistelrooy Dion DUBLIN

I kinda cheated cos i couldnt think of another CM or LB, so i had to rejig it to 3-4-3. [:D]

 

Apparently VAN in dutch names refers to a place ("from")

Still a good team!!

[quote user="dhickl"]Chunky, Shilton is in Leicestershire and Oxfordshire, however ETHERINGTON I couldn''t find.[/quote]

I''ve no idea where an Etherington is, I just got stuck on the left-hand side of the pitch. I assumed that any name ending in -TON is simply ''Something-TOWN''. I''m happy to take him out but then I''m stuck at who to put in [8-)]
