What's in a name?

by furthest flung fan » 30 Jul 2024 02:50

As we mourn the dearth of signings so far this season, we can only reflect on who we've had in the past. When the gloriously named Max Power came to town with Wigan a couple of years ago, I fell to thinking about what my Reading dream team would be, based solely on their names. Here goes:
Death, Savage, Wing, Swift, Primus, Tabb, Drenthe, Friday, Ehibhatiomhan, Knibbs, Lita, Sonko, Button.
Two goalkeepers I know, but that's not the point! Any other favourites?

This thread is useless without Wayne Wanklyn.

I'd be more inclined to pick a Reading Dream Team based on the songs/chants that accompany them.

Sonko is Superman
Super, Super Daz, Super Darren Caskey
10 Parkinsons etc etc and a Philip Parkinson

Dylan Kerr gets a spot if he's willing to change his name to Wayne

Could we make an entire team of players who've all had the same chant?

Must be fairly close.

I once played a game against a lad who everyone was calling 'Sov'.

Turned out he'd decided on a mononym of 'Sovereign' when he moved schools (a la Paul Ince telling everyone to call him Guv'nor) but in reality he was called Kevin.

There's only one..... insert name

Maybe make a team of 11 players with as few names as possible, so players with the same names.
