Onomatopoeic footballers

[seand]

Following on from mellifluous footballers and in honour of Brighton's defensive duo Lewis Dunk and Gaëtan Bong can we compile a team of onomatopoeic footballers? A Premier League XI, a World Cup XI?

I'll start us off

--------------
---------- (Lewis) Dunk -------------- (Gaeten) Bong
(El Hadji) Diouf ----------- ------------- (Damien) Duff
-------------- ---------------

[Ray de Galles]

Former Baggie Ryan "Banging" Donk in central midfield.

[Gangster Octopus]

Goalie: Mart Poom

[ad hoc]

Bryan "Pop" Robson

[Jah Womble]

Max de Boom - Dutch winger who used to play for PEC Zwolle.

(If you extend to Aussie Rules, then this guy is a shoo-in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clem_Splatt)

[EIM]

Jurgen Plopp

[Jah Womble]

Phillip Cuckoo

[nmrfox]

MIddlesbrough forward Billy Woof

[Jah Womble]

Jack Mew - Manchester Utd goalkeeper from around a century back. (Might prove a useful back-up to Mart Poom?)

[Capybara]

Jeffrey Schlupp.

Jurgen Plopp

"kloppen" means "to have a scrap". I saw Jürgen Klopp play several times as a (non-attacking) right-back back in the day. He lived up to his name all right, the clumsy bastard.

Whether Klopp is onomatopoeic or not is another thing.

Nominative Determinism XI is another thread altgether

[treibeis]

St. Pauli's defensive midfielder Johannes Flum.

Nikos Dabizas was a scruncher not a folder.

[treibeis]

Former Stuttgarter Kickers midfielder Reinhold Tattermusch's surname must be onomatopoeic in some way or other.

[Duncan Gardner]

Reinhold has a cousin Edward who doesn't like shouting or non-locals

[Jah Womble]

If you're ever owed money by any of the Spurs second-string team*, just get 'Onomah to pay ya!'

I thank you.

(*Currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday...)

[seand]

Updating the Onomatopoea XI. Aptly enough for OTF it's very left biased, so Jeff Schlupp is pushed into midfield, with Damien Duff pushed onto into a free role.

Poom
Flum, Dunk, Donk, Bong
Diouf, Diao, Cocu, Schlupp
Duff
Woof
Manager: Klopp
Subs: Mew, Boom

[Toby Gymshorts]

Mew, Boom

#You saw me standing aloooooooone.......#

[seand]

Useful team when a scrap breaks out on a Batman set

Get out.

[Kevin S]

Any room for Ding (midfielder for Chongqing Lifan) and Dong (striker of Man Utd fame)?

[Kevin S]

There are a few players called Ba aren't there?

Edit - in fact, it would be optimal to have two in the team.

[Kevin S]

And there was a forward who played in the Portguese second division called Bock (like a chicken).

[Kevin S]

Steffen Vroom?
