People you have come into contact with who have footballer's names

[Norman Potting]

Spent much of the day faffing around with young Potting's iPod and on the phone to Apple. The guy I ended up speaking with, and who actually sorted things out for me was named Jens Lehmann (and I have an e-mail from him to prove it).

Maybe fixing iPods is what he's taken up after football?

Cool story bro'

 

[hans kraay fan club]

My dentist in Winchester is called Nicky Forster.

 

[Ringmer Seagull]

Listened to a radio phone in once in which people were invited to ring in if they knew people whose names sounded like a footballers name. There was a Joan Terry , a Fran Lampard and several others. The one that cracked me up was one guy who rang in and claimed his auntie was called Jane Venegoor of Hesselink.

Oddly my given name on my birth certificate is Peter Clarke (although I use a different surname), but I bear no resemblance to the Huddersfield player. That said he's one of the very few opposition player's I'd like to get a photo with this season for obvious reasons!!!

I know Darren Freeman but that don't count-

However a few of my mates were at a restaurant in Guildford years ago for a birthday party and we had all had a few-
As the evening progressed in came a current footballer of the time and his date/partner for the evening-

Well most of us had not noticed him,except for birthday boy who at this stage was b laddered beyond belief-

Anyway he stood up on his chair (how we did not get thrown out i don't know) and shouted at the top of his voice(Richard Shaw,it's Richard Shaw) and annoyingly to the point of embarrassment just repeated the same words,for about 5 minutes and pointing in the poor blokes general direction...still he was a Palace or ex Palace player then so perhaps fair do's...

[Lord Bracknell]

I have a cousin called Andy Hinchcliffe, who is nothing to do with the footballer who played for Manchester City, Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and England between 1986 and 2002. Or even the commentator on Sky.

 

[W.C.]

I have the same name (spelt differently) as an ex footballer that gets said in full by the commentator on that intro video that gets played at the amex.

I was pleased anyway.

I went to school with someone called Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink.

 

[Pondicherry]

I have the same name as an ex albion player, golfer and cricketer. Funny how they all popped up at around the same time.

You're not the same Ian Mellor-Woosnam-Botham that I went to school with ? Probably not, very common name..

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

I did know of a Terry 'Dick' Johnson-Todger

 

[John Byrnes Mullet]

A guy in the finance department were I work is
called Paul Wood. Before I met him his name kept popping
up in emails and was hoping it was the ex-Albion star but when I
finally met him sadly was not the former lightning quick winger.

 

[sydney]

i went to school with Cyril Regis , Allan Ball and Glenn Murray.

Damn my common name. Just how many Peter Clarke's are there out there?

 

[SeagullSongs]

There's a Brighton fan on twitter called Thomas Elphick.

 

[Twizzle]

There were quite a few Pratts at my school, and in some of the places I have worked.
I don't know if they are related to John Pratt, ex of Spurs in the early 70's
There's been a couple of f-ucking c-unts too so they are surely now refereeing, or playing for CHrystal Palace
