It was also funny when they failed to qualify for the 1992/1993 Anglo-Italian Cup because they lost a coin toss held over the phone with West Ham United.....

Is that the one where the coin toss was held at the West Ham end of the line?

 

was there even a coin?

Was that the tournament where Arce was playing for Paraguay ?

The commentators pronounced it as "Ah Say", of course ?

What about Minge (Min Gu) for Ukraine ?

I think you might be right there. It was a great tournament for innuendo no matter what. 

You could have De Koch Fuchs Arce and Suker Kuntz and Quim. Utterly wonderful word play.

It was yes - da Roverzzzzz had to take their word for it! 

And there`s no way West Ham would have dared to cheat on the bestest most loved club in all the world.

Imagine the shame if anyone found out and they became hated throughout the footballing globe for depriving the deserving Italian fans of finally getting the chance to see their heroes in the flesh.

did you write the script for "Top Secret"?

A vastly underrated film IMO. Full of great one liners and only the second Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker project (not counting Kentucky Fried Movie) after Airplane! I think because Airplane! was so brilliant Top Secret had a lot to live up to.

Interesting Top Secret fact; It was Val Kilmer`s film debut.

Portugal didn’t qualify for France 98 - and yep, Arce played for Paraguay at France 98...

I am sure you are right @BS4 on Tour..., on all counts, but please try not to spoil an extremely amusing account of previous World Cups with your boring facts ?.

Fair enough....but I prefer to giggle immaturely at an Arsenal front line of Kanu-Suker-Dickov....

Or a Leicester City attack of Dickov - Izzet - Bent?

A british manager would have played different players or at least changed the formation.

Christian Fuchs, an Austrian international, plays currently for Leicester.

I am pretty sure a Fuchs shirt appeared in The Lightning Seeds 'Football's Coming Home' video, along with 'Bollox', although I have no recollection of the latter playing for either Germany or Austria.

Charlton Athletic's signing of Anil Koc prompted many a guffaw.

It is reminiscent of the time that Manchester United were scouting Schalke's Christian Fuchs, a period that inspired a host of 'Fuchs off to Old Trafford?' headlines and a lot more sniggering.

But neither of those two even make it in to our top 20 of rude footballer names... and neither is Danny Shittu!

  • 20) An early England one-cap wonder, Segar Bastard naturally went on to become a referee.
  • 19) Winger Wayne Wanklyn played in the same Reading side as keeper Steve Death.
  • 18) Famously lobbed by Nayim, David Seaman ’s nickname at Arsenal was ‘H’ – short for Harry Monk. Another goalkeeper, Stanislav Seman , was in the Czech side which won Olympic gold in 1980.
  • 17) Filipino keeper Alphonse Areola has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham after impressing at Paris St Germain.
  • 16) Former Grasshoppers striker Andre Muff was a former Switzerland team-mate of Bernt Haas .
  • 15) Briefly in the limelight with Independiente and Celta Vigo, Argentinean striker Mario Turdo is currently without a club.
  • 14) Roberto Martinez’s Wigan reign began to go wrong the moment his move for Chilean centre back Waldo Ponce broke down last year. Instead Ponce joined the best-named team in Chile – O’Higgins.
  • 13) Recently assistant manager at Bury, former centre back Peter Shirtliff ’s name caused giggles at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Wolves and Barnsley.
  • 12) One of Kevin Keegan’s worst signings, Dutch winger Brian Pinas made one substitute appearance in nearly two years before returning to Feyenoord.
  • 11) Finally retired at nearly 40, it’s a lasting regret that Czech defender Milan Fukal failed a week’s trial with Leeds in 2006.
  • 10) Part of the Dutch side thumped 4-1 by England at Wembley in Euro 96, Johan de Kock won an unlucky 13 caps for Holland.
  • 9) A £5m disaster from the John Barnes/Kenny Dalglish management team at Celtic, Rafael Scheidt started only three league games for the Bhoys and later joined Botafogo. He lived up to his name.
  • ? Briefly linked with the Liverpool vacancy before Kenny Dalglish returned, former Brazil defender Argelico ***** is, unsurprisingly, known as Argel.
  • 7) Chelsea disappointed everyone in 2009 by dropping their interest in Independiente keeper Fabian Assman.
  • 6) The number one club in the Peruvian Andes, widely criticised in the mid-‘00s for moving their stadium to the city of Cerro de Pasco, 4,380 above sea level, are named after a local tribe… Deportivo Wanka.
  • 5) Long linked with a Premier League move, time is running out for an English club to snap up the services of Marseille right back Rod Fanni.
  • 4) Germany’s Under-20 manager, a former East German international and one-club man with Dynamo Dresden, is named Ralf Minge .
  • 3) While at Benfica, Germany keeper Hans-Jorg Butt was briefly understudy to former Portugal No.1 Quim .
  • 2) Fulham boss Martin Jol’s brothers Richard and Cornelius are known as Dick and Cock . “What’s so funny about this?” the scary Dutchman once raged to a Tottenham press conference, as journos stifled their giggles. “Cock is a common name in the Netherlands.”
  • 1) The former Germany striker who enlivened the video for Baddiel and Skinner’s Three Lions remake in ’88, Stefan Kuntz has embraced his name’s brilliance since becoming general manager of Kaiserslautern, by signing both Danny Fuchs and Florian Dick .

Have we missed out your favourite rude football name (and before you ask, we think Ars Bandit is a hoax)?
