Not a footballer afaik but Gary and Phil's Dad Neville Neville deserves a mention.

Wagner Love (Brazil)

Seconded.

Coolest. Name. Evaaaaaaa!

Cyrille Makanaky

 

[Prince Rhyus]

Nelinho - scorer of that stupendous banana kick against Italy in '78 (Neli the elephant packed...)
Rene Higuita - Columbia
Ian Cambridge - who I think plays for local rivals Histon
Mike England - who was a Welsh international
Bobby Barnes - lots of Bs
Dennis Wise - who's not famous for his academia

Then there are those whose first and second names begin with the same letter - Mick Mills, Kevin Keegan, Dion Dublin, Jimmy/Jinky Johnson, Dixie Dean etc

How's this for a themed team of current or recently retired players?

1 Scott Loach (Bradford) G
2 Will Salmon (Aldershot) D
3 Christian Ziege (ex-Spurs) LB
4 Jon Bass (Salisbury) D
5 Mark Fish (ex-Charlton) CB
6 Ian Herring (Salisbury) M
7 Charlie Trout (UIC Flames) M
8 Neville Roach (Basingstoke) F
9 Guiseppe Sole (Woking) S
10 Clint Dempsey (Fulham) M
11 Steve Guppy (Stevenage) M

s Mike Salmon (ex-Ipswich) G
s Graham Tench (Leigh) D
s Jamie Pollock (ex-Middlesbrough) M
s James Perch (ex-Forest) M
s Jamie Pike (ex-Bristol City) F

Because fish puns are traditional.

The ziege really is a fish, but I'll admit I had to look it up when I started running out of names. Likewise I was hitherto unaware of Guiseppe Sole. Sadly I have to admit to having seen most of the rest either live or on telly. I feel unutterably sad.

Also, I remember when we played Southend they had 'Barrington Belgrave' on the bench.

Off thread... I always thought Randolph Turpin was the coolest name. Just found out his middle name was Adolphus too.
