      Noteworthy nomenclature aside, Cerezo Fung A Wing sticks in my mind as one of the fattest outfield players I have ever seen.

          I would happily lend Dave Bus €100 and expect him to pay me back.

                  Dave Bus....

                  Just don't expect him to tackle! One of the worst signings of the Jimmy Calderwood era...

                      Tahamata is a surname that sticks with you.



                      Here is a picture of his original local squad, which was made up of other members of the Moluccan community from the small town of Tiel:

                        Chairman Zhao wrote: Also by the way, does Tscheu La Ling mean anything? cause it can 100% be a Chinese name that's been corrupted over the centuries as well.
                        Apparently his real name, amongst all the confusions and such, is Ling Tshen La.

                        The Chinese-Surinamers appear to do names differently: sticking with footballers, aside from Cerezo Fung A Wing, you have Calvin Jong-A-Pin, and Etienne Shew-Atjon.

                          Off football, in a report on a community initiative in the local paper the other week was the names Flip van As and Curd Kraaijenzank.

                          Delighted to say that despite the relative decline of the current Eredivisie, marvellous names are certainly not one of the KPI's in decline: Jay-Roy Grot, Boy de Jong, Coen Goertemaker, Hans Hateboer, Hedewiges Maduro, Sjoerd Overgoor, Harm Zeinstra, Vito Wormgoor, Nick Marsman, Peet Bijen.....

                          My current favourite is Heerenveen’s Jerry St Juste who sounds like a cross between a Northern club singer and a French Revolutionary. When I see his name on the team list, I ardently wish he would come out in a powdered wig, quoting liberally from Rousseau’s Social Contract and condemning the opposition (and his team mates of course) to the guillotine.

                          As for the voetbal media, names I like are Jan-Joost van Gangelen, Toine van Peperstraten and commentators Frank Snoeks (pronounced Snooks) and Bas Tichler (pronounced Tickler).

                            Co Stout, Floor Buma, Walter Smak, Koos Kuut - and they're all just ex-Telstar players.

                                Pretty sure I went out with Sherwin Grot when I was about fifteen.

                                  I exchanged brief bantz with ex-Albion stalwart Richard Sneekers at a non-League tussle last term.

                                  He's now completely bald alas.

                                    Simon Tahamata was a cracking winger. Gave Ireland the runaround a couple of times in the early 1980s.

                                          Translations of the more "normal" Dutch names are quite interesting too;

                                          Frank and Ronald The Farmer
                                          Erwin and Ronald Cowman
                                          Frank Moneybags
                                          Denis Mountaincamp
                                          Hans Van Fracture-Profiles
