On a backside theme, how about Dean Windass, Nicky Butt, and Andre Arshavin? One of the most inappropriately named was Mike England who was manager of Wales.

Don't kick a man when he's kicking himself!

On its own David Seaman is worth just a sn----r, but included in the joke about why did the Brazilian birth rate rise after the 2002 World Cup? Because they could lob seaman from 40 yards gets a smile even from England fans!

My friends you are, as always, inspirational! Kaka and Dudu made me laugh out loud. I had forgotten both of them. In fact Brazil is a rich source of rude names. They had an Olympic sailor who beat the lovely Ben Ainslie to gold in Atlanta. He was the wonderfully named Robert Sheidt and if I tell you the 'd' is silent, well you get the picture......
