Sepp Blatter - It Cant Be True.... Can it?

[Mendoza]

A couple of friends from other clubs have said look at it to me, so I thought I'd pass it on to NSC.

Surely not?

You have got to be kidding me!!!

I'd be straight onto deed poll personally

 

[Boris Yeltsin]

now that is just marvellous

 

[mikeyjh]

It's entirely true. And it's true as well.

 

[simmo]

A very apt middle name.

Apparently Sapp Blatter's wikipedia page was vandalised. It just happened that the Website of the President of South Africa was writing a story about Mr Blatter at the same time, and... hey presto, they copy the vandalised name straight from wikipedia!

[edit] - just been told the above is bollocks - apparently it is true!

 

[Was not Was]

A quick google suggests it is - or, at least, it's quite widely believed. Not on official FIFA stuff or wikipedia though.

Marvellous name.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Its crashed!

 

[supaseagull]

Dead link - what was it saying?

 

[Mendoza]

does this one work?

The Presidency - Republic of South Africa

 

[supaseagull]

That's f***ing hilarious

 

[Ernest]

Is that for real ? Josep Sepp Bellend Blatter

 

[Giraffe]

That's flippin marvellous, but surely isn't true, is it!!

 

[Sajerz]

I can't see it?

 

[vulture]

its true

 

[Gwylan]

Surely that's wrong. Sepp is not his name, it's an abbreviation of Josep. If that's not true, I can't see that Bellend's true (much as I want it to be)

are you sure that's bollocks? i just googled his name and this came up first:

Sepp Blatter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph "Sepp" Bellend Blatter (born 10 March 1936) is President of FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association). He was elected on 8 June 1998, ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepp_Blatter - 1 minute ago - Similar

probably a cached version of the page because there is no reference to 'bellend' on the actual wiki page. your original hypothesis seems pretty feasible to me...

Sepp Blatter given embarrassing nickname on World Cup award - Telegraph

 

[Skaville]

I heard this earlier in the week and assumed it was true. A great bit of rough justice for the money grabbing, game spoiling, techonology dodging bell-end.
