Weird names in footy.

[Karbassiyoon]

I can't believe there hasn't been a mention of Nick Fosdike at the end of the brownlow when he was the player to get three votes in the Swans vs Dees game and force a tie i reckon you couldn't have found a better player to do it. I reckon Sydney could be the only club he could play for as well it's just a great name.

Simon Crawshay from hawthorn always struck me as a weird name, Crawshay? Sounds like a Crayfish that did something wrong and had a fin chopped off. During the season the age made a team of 'interesting' names but of course i can't recall it from memory, more as they come!

I seem to remember a Brisbane player called Dikfoss, I found that name very funny when I was a kid.

Dickfos is very amusing.

The first part of the name means penis in English, the second part of the name means penis in Hungarian.

That's up there with former Essendon player Willie Dick.

Yep

Graham Johncock's father's name is Jack Johncock which I find quite amusing......

I wonder if his real name is John Johncock

 

[Adrian Shelton]

John Schnebiccler(bet i've spelt that wrong!)
Renato Dinitinosante
Paddy Maddafari(was he half irish half Italian or something?)

Benny Vigonas name allegedly was mispronounced Benny Vagina on radio once.

Brisbanes John Brown

Nothing to do with AFL, but in the US there was a NASCAR racer called **** Trickle.

If you want names go to the NFL. Peerless Price is one of my favourites.

The NFL has heaps of em. 2 of my favs:

Daunte Culpepper.
Priest Holmes

So this is what these players names would look like if the dastardly Greeks never had

Wrong Cooldewd, Ang Christou is not Western Bulgarian, he is Greek.

So a couple of times I went out on my own, my own accord and paid for a few little things, without them knowing." He even gave "Mum's Greek remedies" a shot

Former Saint great Jodi Arnol, was a tad unusual.

As were the massive tatts on both arms. Nice mullet too.

Interesting, why? I'm looking for a connection but can't seem to work it out. Dermie must have done quite a bit of "research" in that area. What sort of name does a performer in adult orientated movies have? - Keep it clean now, kiddie alert

I used to work in a hotel where we had two regular guests/co-workers with real (according to drivers licence/credit cards) names Debbie Donkers and April Styles. Always sounded pr0n-like to me.

Saverio Rocca drew the short straw in that family. Bowman Nixon. Who named former gov.-general Isaac Isaacs?

 

[MadMaxx]

Wasn't there a collingwood listed player in the 80's called "Fretuiatartar"? Not sure of the spelling, so I have done it phoenetically. Can any Pies fans confirm the spelling? For that matter, can any Pies fans spell at all?

Also, Vin Cattogio, Gary Buckenara.. At once stage in the mid ninetys, Hawthorn had a Centreline of Ansell Condon Chick...

I Will think up some more..
