greenun Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Even Forbes Phillipson-Masters wassn't THAT funny. Can anyone think of a silly named player? I was inspecting this season's Bolton squad the other day and came across "Ricky Shakes", scary eh? Ricky was a few numbers down from a "Jeremy Bon", now that WAS familiar, can't think why though?

Big Red Rich Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I think Preston have a player named "Skora". Not a bad name for a striker!!! Pennyfather was a bit of an odd one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Junior Bent always raised a titter with my immmature side. Can't think of any others at present from City past and present. Danny Shittu from QPR still amuses me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenun Posted February 6, 2004 Author Share Posted February 6, 2004 Danny Shittu from QPR still amuses me! Absolutely Neo. You can imagine if he ever had a Gerard Lavinesque moment, the headlines would read....."Shittu hits the fan!". Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Oliver Kuntz is the best one, but obviosuly non City. I think I remember someone played for us when I was too young to know all the players called "that ~@:L:er in midfield" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neo Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Oliver Kuntz is the best one, but obviosuly non City. How could I have forgot him! Did you see the Fantasy Football episode when Germany were knocked out a tournament early and they made a song with the punchline "we played like Kuntz"; happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider head Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Clemens Zwijnenberg FROM citystats.org.uk Player Profile A player that summed up the sorry mess that was the 1999 relegation season. Zwijnenberg was brought to club on loan after a recommendation by Soren Andersen. He arrived at the club overweight and completely unfit. His playing ability wasn't great either. Unsurprisingly, his loan spell was not made permanent. Some regard him as one of the worst players to have appeared for City in recent years. http://www.citystats.org.uk/playerdetail.asp?id=847&filter=Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jon Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Didn't we have Jason Cundy on loan a few years ago? His name probably shouldn't be funny to a 36 year old like myself but I remember it making me titter at the time. Shouldn't really laugh, particularly when bearing in mind his recent medical history (testicular cancer). Bernt Haas has to be my current favourite though. Good call dez-gimed!
