Shortest name XI

[Yorkshire Blue]

Good point - another factor for Brown to consider when picking a team. :thumbsup:

I think I might start a thread on a Southend team with the shortest names ...........

GK Peter Goy
RB Warren May
LB Andy Ford
CB Leon Cort
CB Lewis Hunt
RM Lloyd Sam
CM Jason Cook
CM David Lee
LM Ryan Hall
CF Simon Cox
CF Jason Lee
Sub Danny Gay
Sub Mark Hone
Sub Derek Hall
Sub Gerry Fell
Sub Barry Corr

Any more suggestions?

Tie-breaker was shortest first name.

 

[Napster]

Eddie May as CB. Ricky Otto on the bench?

 

[Firestorm]

Billy Best > Barry Corr

 

[Firestorm]

Mark Hall instead of Derek ?

 

[Firestorm]

And Who can forget the fullback Fred Lunn and his 7 appearances in 1923 !!

 

[Sussex Shrimper]

Trialist A and Trialist B appear to have been cruelly overlooked. Wouldn't have Trialist C in my team though, talk about nominative determinism...

 

[1966 and all that]

What about this guy WOW we're supposed to be signing. He hasn't even got a forename.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Mark Hall instead of Derek ?

Bah, I had Mark instead of Derek in the starting line-up to begin with.


I think this new guy would also be a shoo-in for a team named after airlines, along with Jabo Ibehria

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

United Airlines

GK Derek BeLOTti

[Rattus Norvegicus]

I'm sure we used to have a player called "Oi Tw_t" - well, that's what the bloke a few seats back used to shout when the player lost the ball ............

 

[Kevin Hogg]

Have heard Wang Ka get plenty of shouts over the years!

Another one for the Polish carrier...LOT Jones.

(I can't find out how many games he played for us, but he did join the club after a successful period at Man City.)

 

[Sleaford Shrimper]

Have heard Wang Ka get plenty of shouts over the years!

Are you sure you're not confusing him with Barry Corr's Spanish cousin Juan?
