The most Dickensian-sounding footballers

[Puppet Master]

There used to be a guy who played for Plymouth and Southend called.... Barrington Belgrave

Winner.

 

[Guinness Boy]

David Fairclough the mild mannered red haired butcher's boy who only appeared right at the end but usually saved the day.

 

[El Sid]

Maitland Pollock, disgraced naval officer, now purveyor of soiled ladies under garments.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"Since being mistreated by his former employers at Lillywhites, young shop attendant Master Lewis Holtby is now excelling himself at the Harrods emporium."

Excellent, that is a first class Dickensian name. It could even be the title of a book.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Crivins! What Dickensian list would be complete without eligible bachelor Group Captain Alexander Oxlade-Chambelain & esteemed industrialist Sir Raphael Mead?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Apple-cheeked, light-fingered street urchins, Jack Lester & Young Joe Mattock.

Always on their toes when the stern-faced local constable John Marquis makes his rounds.

 

[Worthingite]

Clayton Blackmore - the farrier from down in the village has, I see, taken on a new apprentice, young Tyler Blackett of Birminghamshire

 

[Worthingite]

Incidentally, Manchester United have a defender in their academy called Donald Love - wasn't he a villain in Grand Theft Auto

 

[AmexRuislip]

Alfie Potter the local poacher extraordinaire.

 

[London Irish]

Wally Downes must have fallen down some Victorian chimney

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

sorry Ben Done ,the rather unruly dentist and his inept assistant Gary Neville.

My fault, ADHD kicked in and I didn't read the whole thread
