Oh dear, let me tell ya, I don’t know much ’bout them fancy football games, but some of them names, they sure do make me chuckle. You ever heard of a fella named Mario Balotelli? Now that’s a name! He’s a funny one too, always gettin’ people to laugh, not just ’cause of his footballin’, but ’cause he does silly things on and off the field. I reckon folks remember him more for that than his kicks!
And then there’s Stefan Kuntz. Now, I know, I know, it ain’t polite to laugh at someone’s name, but ya just can’t help it! When that name’s said out loud in English, oh lordy, it sounds a bit…well, you know what I’m gettin’ at. But bless his heart, he was a great player for Germany, just a little unlucky in the name department.
Don’t even get me started on some of them others from around the world. They got names so funny, you wonder if their mamas and papas had a sense of humor when they named ’em. Like this one fella, Fabian Assman. Can ya believe that’s real? I ain’t makin’ it up! I imagine folks had a field day with that one. Must’ve been tough for him, but it sure makes the rest of us giggle!
And oh, honey, if you think them footballers across the pond have funny names, wait till you hear some of them American ones. I read about this guy named Fair Hooker. I swear, sometimes I wonder if them parents ever thought about what that name would sound like later on. I mean, Fair? Hooker? Put ’em together and, well, it just don’t sound right!
Then there’s Earthwind Moreland. Now I know folks love nature, but namin’ your child after the wind and earth? That’s somethin’ else! Guess he was destined to be fast like the wind though, huh?
And what about Tshimanga Biakabutuka? Now I don’t know if I’m even sayin’ it right, but what a mouthful! Just sayin’ his name must tire ya out before you even see him on the field. He played in the NFL too, but I betcha most folks just called him by his first name, or maybe even a nickname, ’cause who’s gonna remember all them letters?
Danny Drinkwater, now that’s a name that sounds like it’s tellin’ ya to stay hydrated! Smart advice, but still, it makes ya laugh, don’t it? Every time I hear his name, I feel like I should go grab a glass of water myself.
Then there’s Norman Conquest. Ain’t that somethin’? Sounds more like he should be leading an army instead of playin’ football! But nope, he’s out there kickin’ a ball around instead.
And let me tell ya ’bout Danger Fourpence. I don’t know what was goin’ through his parents’ heads when they picked that name. It sounds more like somethin’ you’d pay at the market, don’t it? “That’ll be fourpence, ma’am,” but nope, it’s a footballer, not a price!
I tell ya, these fellas got some names on ’em! But, bless their hearts, they out there workin’ hard, makin’ folks laugh, not just ’cause of their play but their names too. Sometimes, a good laugh is all ya need to enjoy the game, even if you ain’t followin’ the ball.
