If you got promoted based on how cool the names of your players were....

Recommended Posts

...who would you have in the team

As per another thread

Rocque Santa Claus would have to be in there and that Giovanni guy whose just signed for El Binneros.

Have we ever had anyone with a cool name. I mean Darren Huckerby, Martin Peters and Jimmy Bone will NEVER get you promoted based on the cool-quotient.

OK, so here''s my list of the starting 11 if we had to put out a team to out-cool te slickers....

Ruel Fox - cooooool name

Youssef Safri - sounds like he could be a DJ in The Buddah Bar

Dion Dublin - could be a rapper P-Dio-Dub sort of thing

Jean-Yves de Blassis - bit of the French je ne sais quoi (you know, the cultured Frenchie type thing)

Joao Carlos Costa - OK, so he only had a trial with us, but his name alone would have us challenging at the top of The Prem (hints of The Maracana and stuff)

Justin Fashanu - Fash The Flash and you can''t get to the top of the pile without someone who is or sounds African

Gaetano Giallanza - the Via Condotti of the team. The soul and passion. The little hint of Prosecco....

Paul Heckingbottom - some names are so uncool that they nearly complete the circle and become uber-coool

Drazan Muzinic - the East European warlord. Sounds like he should be on trial in The Hague having spent ten years disguised as a teacher

Marc Libbra - the ''c'' in place of the ''k'' gets him in the team and Libbra sounds like some kind of Peruvian / Nigerian fusion thing

German Tempone - who only ever played one reserve game, but wins the Champions League for us single-handedly for having the best Nazi-goes-off-to-Argentina-after-the-war-but-can''t-entirely-give-up-the-arian-race-thing name (someone should have told his dad than ''German'' might have given the Arentinian police a clue)

Any other suggestions for this absolutely meaningless thread?

And what about names that would leave us seeking re-election (oh, no, they don''t have that anymore)

Lewis Blois and Daryl Godbold are fair starters for the 11...

There would be Ken Foggo - you just don''t get players with names like that at Norwich now!

I just cheated and looked in Canary Citizens - in the 1920s we had a player called Frederick Ferrari! How cool is that?

Davide Barcella (triallist courtesy of flown from the nest), the ''e'' on the end of the David has to be a winner.

Oh and Trym Bergmann, missed that one first time round, sounds like a euphamism for a Brazilian

You could have had Geoffrey Sidebottom in goal who I do believe I saw playing for dear old Scunthorpe in those far off days.

Apropos nothing, Kathy Staff (Nora Batty) was born Minnie Higginbottom so you can see why a change might be necessary for the world of theatre (Sorry dear, we can''t get your name on the poster[+o(]   But she died a Higginbottom, buried in the family grave.

Damn, yes, should have spotted the porno angle, but Prem footie is soooo politically correct I fear we might end up in the Ryman''s with him after being deducted 50 points for playing a player with a suggestive surname

''Doing a Boner'' doesn''t bear thinking about - some kind of special free-kick,ot the post goal celebrations....

Anyway, none of this is as good as the Anglia TV guy who used to read the weather called Michael Hunt (go on, shorten his christian name if you can''t work it out)

As for Robert Rosario, he just sounds like some kind of limp hairdresser type, although the girls used to love that dark skin and thick crop of hair

That could be another thread.

Who was the best looking and ugliest player ever to grace The Carra. Fleckie for the latter? Although he was my fave, so I feel a bit guilty...
