I always thought David Seaman to be amusing.
Rumour is, his nickname at Arsenal was 'H' - short for Harry Monk.
Then there was...
Bernt Haas (apparently he enjoyed a curry)
Dean Windass (also a fan of the curry?)
Danny Shittu (another curry fan?)
Mario Turdo
Rafael Scheidt
Moving into a different area...
Andre Muff
Rod Fanni (already mentioned above)
Ralf Minge
Stefan Kuntz
and finally, former Portugal goalkeeper Quim
Tunji Banjo always raised a smile for me...(not sure if he could hit a cow's behind perhaps Letyon O fans can help) David goodwillie is an obvious chuckle and nowadays Issac Success is a great name!
For name combo fun, back in the 78/79 season Chelsea's relegation centre half pairing was John Sitton and Micky Nutton, prompting the great newspaper headline 'Sitton doing Nutton' as they were thrashed by Forest.
I worked with a chap called Richard Cockhead. Though he pronounced it Cohead! What were his parents thinking of - Dick Cockhead.
Isaac Success is a pretty cool name for a footballer.
I was discussing terrible names with some friends last night. One of them knows someone called African Moon (first name only). Don't think he or she is a footballer, but thought it deserved a mention.

Hannover used to have a player called Christ Bongo. Not sure anything will top one time Wycombe triallist Nortei Nortey though.
A few more to add to the list:-
Samba Baby - France
Danger Fourpence - Zimbabwe
Creedence Clearwater Couto - Brazil
And my favourite...
Norman Conquest - Australian international goalkeeper.
Still like Perry Digweed myself.....
Mark De Man - former Belgium international
Always had to be careful articulating Kenny Lunt, the Crewe midfielder’s name.
There was a French goalkeeper called Dominique Dropsy!
Rod Fanni always raises a titter
Rod Fanni is a classic.

Brian Pinas (once of Newcastle) and Argel Fucks (ex-Benfica and capped by Brazil)
Gursel Gulfer ex Hampton striker, Spanish international Roberto Ufarte but our very own Wayne Wanklyn takes some beating.
I’m a big fan of Fortunate Sithole
Qpr had a DouDou alongside their Shittu.
Not sure if he ever played but one of the linesmen tomorrow is Samuel Ogles.
Carl Boyeson in charge, even more off-topic.
Worth a mention of Tomas Holy, who'll be between the sticks for Gillingham tomorrow
Didn’t we play against a guy called Ng a couple of seasons back?
Not in the same league (literally) as some of those above, but I’ve always smiled at the mention of red card magnet Max Power.
I hope Sunderland fans sing this song.
For fans of the South West Peninsular League, Exmouth Town have a player called Ace High.
Max power and lars bender
Let’s not forget one of our own
Jermain McSporan
There was once a player called Segar Richard Bastard apparently
A friend of mine had a colleague called Goodhead Job. However I think his football never progressed beyond the company five-a-side team.

John Nutter and Danny Invincible.........
I'm invincible!!
....no you're not I can see you quite clearly.....

Spent a summer working at Reldan. Every day you heard at least six times over the tannoy "Can John Thomas please come to the office?"
