Daft names of sportsmen/women
The thread of Jermaine McSporran (which also mentioned Kevin Twaddle) has to remind us of some daft sporting names.

Typically I've lost all inspiration upon starting this thread, but there are plenty of us who must have heard of other names.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Bartolo Colon comes to mind, but that's about it (and that's only because he was on the telly the other night).

And of course the all-time classic has to be Lee Sinnott.

There used to be a Kiwi all-rounder called Bob Cunis - described as "neither one thing nor the other".

Archiebald Leitch tells me (I'm too young to remember) that there was a guy who played for Newcastle either in the late sixties or early seventies who went by the name of Kinell.

Always used to raise a titter apparently when the commentators called out his name during an exciting passage of play.

In fact Jasper Carrott made up a whole routine about this player...I believe that he may have played for Birmingham City also.

Even more humorously, the players name was 'Paul Kinell' (if it's the same bloke). Jasper derived great amusement (he tells us in the sketch) by corrupting this to 'Porkin' 'ell'...oh well, it was probably funny at the time...

And not so much of a 'funny names' incident, more a 'spooky coincidence'...that two of the best known personalities in Australian Rules Football in recent years have exactly the same names as two mediocre Everton players of a few years ago...Kevin Sheedy (coach of Essendon) and Gary Ablett (well known Geelong superstar, now retired and with a liking for the contents of a brown bottle...)

Come to think of it, I think Kevin Sheedy and Gary Ablett are rather stupid names...

Nearly forgot (and I'm sure the Australian residents will correct me if I'm wrong), but isn't there a player who changed his name to Whiskas as part of a sponsorship deal?

No correction needed, S.C. Garry Hocking of Geelong (club nickname 'The Cats') changed his name last season to 'Whiskas' by deed poll. Despite the papers being full of it, sadly the TV commentators referred to Whiskas by his former name for that week's entire game.

Given the commercialisation of TV over here, I can't understand why they were splitting hairs (or whiskers?) over the name change...

I think that the "silliest Palace player's name" has been the subject of previous threads.

There is always one winner - a 1920s goalkeeper called Mike Hunt (can you imagine a Rob Fox type chant for this name?)

I see that Danny Invincible scored for Swindon today. Surely this name has already been commented on somewhere...

Do you reckon anyone would be brave enough to put that on the back of a replica shirt? You'd look like a right idiot.

Not as bad as Brighton's new left back, Darren Ravin-Pooftah...

Oh dear I don't think I should have opened that last bottle...

Also, a bit off the subject, but from today's scorers do Walsall have a transfer policy to only buy players called 'Darren' or 'Dean'?

I think we should be told...
