Pat van den Hauwe

dariusz kubicki

In January 2010, he signed for Dulwich Hamlet. On Sunday 7th March it was confirmed that Ashley - Paul Robinson had left Dulwich Hamlet. Ashley currently plays for Dorking FC in the combined counties and FC pitts.

APR was at Bromley I think yeah, but dude can't hold down a place anywhere. I think he got fat

how does someone who played championship football as a teenager end up playing for dorking

Bart Goor

FAUST/ARP/HEX

of course the most celebrated Peg Guy = Stefan Postma

Stefan Postma memorial thread

tru story

in the late nineties i was looking thru the daily telegraph's fantasy football player list, and there amid the gary breens and flitcrofts was ARPHEXAD

but for some reason i got the idea he was levantine or caucasian or something

turns out he's french caribbean, ehhh

answer me truthfully: do u have a lexical fetish abt asia minor

nuh

cool names is cool names tho

lol Stefan Postma had a trial with Liverpool ya know. I got his autograph outside Melwood once, no one knew he was.

That was in 98 or 99 btw.

Both clubs have a waterbird on their crest but Swansea's is a swan and ADO's appears to be an egret. Big difference there.

q impressed with this early bid for authority

my old stalwart

Gaston Taument

Carl Muggleton and Crawford Baptie are excellent choices, btw. Crawford Baptie is instantly symbolic of every journeyman SPL plodder in history (like a better Kirk Broadfoot), and Carl Muggleton is an instant symbol of how pish Celtic used to be (see also Martin Hayes, Stuart Slater - who I actually quite liked - and Wayne Biggins).

Jose Quitongo always puts me in mind of Jerome Vareille as well - vaguely crap foreigners who ended up having a very long and not very distinguished career in the arse end of the SPL.

Which brings us nicely on to Danny Invincibile.

nicky summerbee

marlon beresford

ruel fox

Wayne Biggins.

Stern John

Gilles De Bilde and his partner in bringing droll Dutch nomenclature to Sheffield, Wim Jonk

Freddie Dindeleux.

Angel Rangel (which is not as good when you realise it's not pronounced to rhyme)

SIXTO PERALTA

Jermaine McSporran (symbolic of people I know nothing about other than hearing Jeff Stelling mention his name a lot on a Saturday afternoon)

Siphiwe tshabalala. Well just his surname really. Surprised no one in the epl bought the dude.

Mixu Paatelainen

^^^yes

phil jevons

Mixu Paatelainen's real first name is Mika-Matti, btw.

Mika-Matti Paatelainen? That's... beautiful...

Pascal Bedrossian

nico melo

i think of emmanuel eboue a couple times a week

Bernard Diomede

laurent robert

daniel gygax

taribo west shaking his head as i was semi arrested in front of him at an airport. Good times

Richarlison

Micky Mellon is a great mid-table manager's name.

Jaden Philogene-Bidace

Can't see how that one floats so much as hacks its way through the creepers of memory with a machete

I don't even know how to pronounce it tbh

RIP Chris Bart-Williams, absolutely one of this kind of player
