    Just looked him up. Full name Forbes Ernest Phillipson-Masters. What were his parents thinking?
    Here he is. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/18106...-1/s-l1000.jpg

    Looks like he is currently at Dulwich Hamlet. A talented young lad who never quite made it here.

    A mate of mine at school was convinced there was a South Korean player called Chu Bum Suk at Mexico 86. Disappointingly there wasn't.

    Gerry Cakebread OBE

    Worth a mention because of his unusual name and also because he was awarded an honour unrelated to football

    Cocu slides into Kuntz, as one commentator on a Netherlands/Germany game uttered.

    Aspas.
    Still waiting for a commentator to add "nice trick if you can pull it off" after mentioning his name!

    A lot of mentions are just names that young lads would find slightly funny bacause they are a little bit rude.

    Not really unusual in the sense I was imagining opening the thread.
