It seems the thread has morphed into a list of names, for that matter, Like Chadwick, Gary Neville, Alan Smith.

Returning to the opening topic, Danny Invincible.

Jay Jay Okocha is one of the best sounding football names.
Also love Finidi George and Taribo West!

That 90s team was full of some serious names.


But for me, the best of the lot is: Zinedine Zidane (ZZ)
Hard to close out on that one.

BUFON, OKALA, BEST
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Surprised you mention Dutch players without referencing Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink (ex Celtic), Ruud Van Nisteelrooy, or Royston Drenthe!
