Which first names are true footballers' names and which should have no place in football at all? (1 Viewer)

Otis · Mar 24, 2020

I remember when we signed Wayne Turner and me and my mates laughed, stating that someone called Wayne should never ever play professional football.

Of course, then Wayne Rooney came along and it became cool again.

Good footballing names are, IMHO ...

Bobby
Dave
Pete
Johnny
Steve
Mike
Kyle
Sam
Matt
Billy
Alan
Tommy
Terry
Danny
Nick
Charlie
Tony

Names that should be nowhere near a football field.

Nigel
Tarquin
Rupert
Sebastian
Humphrey
Dominic
Cyrille (sorry, Big C).
Egbert
Chester
Basil
Augustine
Irving
Oswald

Add Jordan to the true footballer name list and Gerald to the nowhere near a football field list.

What about Francis and Daly or Baker?

Barry as in Barry Powell, sounds like a shop floor worker at Morris Engines on Courthouse Green

Is Baker a first name? There is Baker Mayfield, the American footballer, but the Yanks are bonkers anyway.

Julian should get nowhere near a football pitch

Stretching it slightly to middle names but they are corkers - Bob Primrose Wilson and Larry Valentine Lloyd.

Agree. Especially if their surname begins with a G.

I don't think we should be knocking our current playing staff.

Has there ever been an Algernon?

I do mean footballer and not just life in general.

Ivor (Allchurch) I'll add him to the religious list too.
