Getafe got their whole stadium named after Alfonso Perez who was a pretty average footballer playing for Betis, Barcelona and Real Madrid 1991-2005 but who never played for Getafe. One of the weirdest examples.

Spanish 3rd Division side Deportive Guadalajara play at the 8000 capacity Estadio Pedro Escartín. Pedro Escartín was a former Footballer, he played for Real Sociedad, Gimnástica and Española before health reasons forced him to retire, he went on to become a renowned referee, the first Spanish referee at a World Cup. He then tried his hand at management as the coach of the Spanish National side.

Tony, Dick, or maybe Lewis if he sees his career out with us

I've always thought Charlie Webb should have a stand named after him

two reasons really

firstly,he was at the club for 40 years

and secondly,new generations of fans would learn a little bit of history about the club
