I notice from the main site that one of Newport's scorers at Alfreton was Jazzi Barnum Bobb.

We need some light relief on here.....nominations for equally exotic monikers welcomed !

I remember that Spain had a player called Ufarte at the 1982 World Cup. Just googled him and apparently, he was nicknamed 'the little devil'. I bet he was.

Rigobert Song became rhyming slang for girls stringy undies.
