Dean Whitehead

Whitehead is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Huddersfield Town. his surname ( Whitehead ) has made him more prevalent than his playing professional career. Next time, if your abilities don’t make you famous just change your name to an amusing one.

Danny Drinkwater

The Premier League introduced drinks breaks in 2015, and the Internet couldn’t get enough of this exceptionally thirsty Chelsea player. Thinking of getting a fitness trainer? it’s this midfielder, he reminds us all to keep hydrated.

Once in a while in life, you have to be content with your lot. I for one, am definitely happy with the name given to me, but some of these footballers unquestionably have justification to file a child abuse case. I assume it has given them a tad of fame if nothing else.

This is surely true in the world of funny football names. CheapGoals compiled a list of the 15 funny-named footballers, it’s neither big nor clever to laugh at funny names but nevertheless remains stubbornly amusing.

Take a look and see if one of these tickles your funny bone. Or, perhaps, one will motivate you to concoct your very own name.

Daley Blind

Dutch and Man Utd defender Daley Blind is nothing compared with his name as he has struggled hard to a secure a starting line-up under Jose Mourinho. This is a direct result of his immeasurable foresight to defend against average opponents. is he technically blind?

There was a drama in a Brazilian derby that birth series of punches and blows between Vitoria and Bahia as 9 players – six from the Victoria – were sent off, forcing the derby to be abandoned with 11 minutes left on the clock.

Denilson breaks the deadlock for the home side following 33 minutes but Vinicius leveled with a penalty four minutes into the second half. He celebrated with a provocative dance in front the home fans, which prompted anger from Victoria players.

Punches were exchanged between the two sides and five men were awarded red cards for their Joshua-Takam performances, three from Bahia and two from Vitoria.

Two more players, one from each side, were sent off three minutes after the first incident, as tempers frayed and inconvenience spread to the porches. With just 13 minutes left a fourth Vitoria player was sent off, inciting Bispo to kick the ball away and forced the official into granting him his second yellow and a match-ending red.
