Unless someone's been vandalising his Wikipedia page his full name is Che Everton Zach Fred Adams which this the balance in favour of, er, exotic.

I always thought Jose Baxter was a good half and half name.
 
It also means mate in Spanish.

I still enjoy Ian Ormondroyd.
 
Sky seem to think he's called Jay Adams.

Scott Minto sounds like some sweets that an old person north of the border would like. A bit like Werther's original. I do not think there is a footballer called that though.
 
Always blew my mind back in the old days, that the big bruiser of a centre-back for Argentina as they won the Hand of God world cup in 86 was called Jose Luis Brown.
 
There was no more fitting name in football than "Iffy" Onoura.

I also remember a debate with a pig who accused us of being racist for calling Wayne Allison "Chief".
 
It can also mean they will be spectacularly awful though too though. Look at Titus Bramble.
 
If it was all in a name Hal Robson-Kanu would be a legend of indeterminable age who liked a drink.
 
The ultimate journey from the mundane to the startling will remain Albert Menlove's.

"The Official Top 20 - Most Unfortunate Footballing Names" (Daily Mirror)

Providing penetration: New Charlton signing Anil Koc
Charlton Athletic's signing of Anil Koc prompted many a guffaw from the more immature members of the MirrorFootball team this week.

It is reminiscent of the time that Manchester United are scouting Schalke's Christian Fuchs, a period that inspired a host of 'Fuchs off to Old Trafford?' headlines and a lot more sniggering at MirrorFootball Towers.


But neither of those two even make it in to our top 20 of rude footballer names... and neither is Danny Shittu!

If we've forgotten any, let us know.

But otherwise, get stuck into the ultimate top 20 rude footballers.

  • 20) An early England one-cap wonder, Segar Bastard naturally went on to become a referee.
  • 19) Winger Wayne Wanklyn played in the same Reading side as keeper Steve Death.
  • 18) Famously lobbed by Nayim, David Seaman ’s nickname at Arsenal was ‘H’ – short for Harry Monk. Another goalkeeper, Stanislav Seman , was in the Czech side which won Olympic gold in 1980.
  • 17) Filipino keeper Alphonse Areola has been linked with Manchester United and Tottenham after impressing at Paris St Germain.
  • 16) Former Grasshoppers striker Andre Muff was a former Switzerland team-mate of Bernt Haas .
  • 15) Briefly in the limelight with Independiente and Celta Vigo, Argentinean striker Mario Turdo is currently without a club.
  • 14) Roberto Martinez’s Wigan reign began to go wrong the moment his move for Chilean centre back Waldo Ponce broke down last year. Instead Ponce joined the best-named team in Chile – O’Higgins.
  • 13) Recently assistant manager at Bury, former centre back Peter Shirtliff ’s name caused giggles at Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton, Wolves and Barnsley.
  • 12) One of Kevin Keegan’s worst signings, Dutch winger Brian Pinas made one substitute appearance in nearly two years before returning to Feyenoord.
  • 11) Finally retired at nearly 40, it’s a lasting regret that Czech defender Milan Fukal failed a week’s trial with Leeds in 2006.
  • 10) Part of the Dutch side thumped 4-1 by England at Wembley in Euro 96, Johan de Kock won an unlucky 13 caps for Holland.
  • 9) A £5m disaster from the John Barnes/Kenny Dalglish management team at Celtic, Rafael Scheidt started only three league games for the Bhoys and later joined Botafogo. He lived up to his name.
  • 8) Briefly linked with the Liverpool vacancy before Kenny Dalglish returned, former Brazil defender Argelico Fucks is, unsurprisingly, known as Argel.
  • 7) Chelsea disappointed everyone in 2009 by dropping their interest in Independiente keeper Fabian Assman.
  • 6) The number one club in the Peruvian Andes, widely criticised in the mid-‘00s for moving their stadium to the city of Cerro de Pasco, 4,380 above sea level, are named after a local tribe… Deportivo Wanka.
  • 5) Long linked with a Premier League move, time is running out for an English club to snap up the services of Marseille right back Rod Fanni.
  • 4) Germany’s Under-20 manager, a former East German international and one-club man with Dynamo Dresden, is named Ralf Minge .
  • 3) While at Benfica, Germany keeper Hans-Jorg Butt was briefly understudy to former Portugal No.1 Quim .
  • 2) Fulham boss Martin Jol’s brothers Richard and Cornelius are known as Dick and Cock . “What’s so funny about this?” the scary Dutchman once raged to a Tottenham press conference, as journos stifled their giggles. “Cock is a common name in the Netherlands.”
  • 1) The former Germany striker who enlivened the video for Baddiel and Skinner’s Three Lions remake in ’88, Stefan Kuntz has embraced his name’s brilliance since becoming general manager of Kaiserslautern, by signing both Danny Fuchs and Florian Dick .

 
I'm just waiting for the time, which has got to come, when we get to see a German international player called Wankstein (politely pronounced Venkshteen, of course).
 
I know in Denmark there is one particular league with a good few silly funny ones it in because when I saw results on Flashscores my initial thoughts we that it can't be real surely, such teams as Jammerbugt, Thisted, Middelfart and Brabrand.

Odd, seeing as they called Efan Ekoku Chief a couple of seasons before we signed Allison.

Bit rich for any pig to use the race card.

"I'd rather be a P*ki than a Blade" is a particular crowd favourite at the sty.
 
Robert Barr has to be up there with the best of them, it has a resemblance of a lot of the shit we've witnessed over the years:)
