With the impending decision on Russian track and field athletes illegibility for this summer’s Olympics making the news, Twitter has broken.
Why? Because a lot of people are interested in a very serious story.
Who am I kidding? It’s because a lot of people are giggling at the name of WADA president Dick Pound.
It got us wondering who else from the world of sport was christened with a name they would never thank their parents for.
So, we’ve channelled our inner immature teenage boy to compile a top ten.
10. Dean Windass
The former Hull City striker blew away defences…. with his roaring pace obviously.
9. Ricky Van Wolfswinkel
This chap was an expensive one season flop for Norwich, but he perhaps made up for it in other areas.
8. Rod Fanni
The full back was at Charlton last season but was once wanted by Everton. Prompting one of the greatest headlines in the history of great headlines that have ever been written in like, ever.
7. Christian Fuchs
Premier League winner with Leicester but maybe more famous for his self-proclaimed Twitter hashtag #nofuchsgiven
6. Gaylord Silly
The name’s Silly. Gaylord Silly
5. Dick Paradise
One man has never been so horrified upon googling his own name
4. Danny Shittu
This bruising defender is a big ol’ unit, so one can only imagine what his sh… No, let’s not go there.
3. Fanny Schmeller
Famous for having Bradley Walsh guffawing uncontrollably on The Chase.
2. David Seaman
An amazing goalkeeper. But better remembered for being chipped from far out, leading to headlines of ‘Seaman lobbed from the halfway line’. Oo-er.
1. Paul Dickov
Congratulations to the ex Leicester, Manchester City and Arsenal striker for making it top of our list. Think about it for a sec. Paul Dickov. Okay, maybe don’t.
