There''s a Canadian striker called Felix Brilliant. I think that one''s unbeatable.

I''d imagine having Bridge-Wilkinson would be quite expensive on your shirt too

Jan Vennegoor Of Hesselink

How on earth did he end up with a name like that anyway?

Sounds like he''s related to royalty or something!

My portuguese is non-existant but I translate Boa Morte as "Snake of Death" which is a wicked name if correct. Longest has to be Charlie Oatway. Longest City player though? Can anyone beat Troy Archibald-Henville?
