Friday challenge: club-appropriate footballers

[Lady Whistledown]

Players who should (or maybe did) play for certain clubs on the basis of their names. Like, there was a player called Tom Brighton once I believe, no idea if he's still playing.

For starters:

John de Wolf or Ricky van Wolfswinkel (Wolves)

Ruben de la Red (Liverpool)

Chris Eagles (Palace)

Stefan Küntz (Palace)

 

[Biscuit]

Michael Gash (West Ham United)
Nortei Nortey (Millwall)

 

[Badger]

Stephen McPhail (Portsmouth)

 

[brightonrock]

Marc Albrighton?

 

[Razzoo]

Hooper, once of Celtic

 

[Seagull27]

David Villa - Aston Villa

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Not nearly as funny as Gash (see above) but I guess Ian Goodison would have been a big shirt-seller if he'd played for Everton, & likewise Ricky Villa at....er...Villa.

And Alan Sunderland.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Ryan Giggs (Bury)

 

[Puppet Master]

Steve Cherry - AFC Bournemouth

 

[Simster]

Not a player but it was ridiculous when Arsene Wenger rocked up at Arsenal.

 

[BadFish]

Didn't Wolfsburg have a manager called Wolfgang Wolf?

 

[Puppet Master]

Gary Alexander - Crewe

Lars and Sven Bender - Brighton, of course

 

[Albion_Dave]

Danny Shittu (Palace)

 

[red star portslade]

Barry Silkman - Macclesfield Town

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Tim Sherwood. Nottingham Forest.

One from the double barrel surnames thread....

Abdoulae Bell-Baggie, really should play for West Brom

That's what made me think of this

George Weah (Sunderland)

 

[Medwayseagull]

Paul Scholes - Northampton i.e. the cobblers.

It's a shame Alan Sunderland never played for Sunderland.
