Footballing nominative determinism 09:43 - Oct 6 with 12799 viewsZx1988

A random thought popped into my head this morning: it's a pity that Ishmael Miller never spent any time at Rotherham during his career.

Are there any other current/former players whose names would have made them very much at home at a particular club?

Nile Ranger at QPR?

Arsene Wenger's Highbury years are a pretty good fit.

Sadly Marc's career took in Villa, Wigan, Leicester and WBA, when it really should have been Albrighton.

Matt Gill was born in Chatham but never played for Gillingham.

Tyrone Barnett has turned out for many teams but he has never played for Barnet.

Connor Wickham has never played for Wycombe.

Kieran Sadlier has never played for Walsall.

Donny van de Beek is yet to play for Doncaster.

Joe Royle never played for Reading, nor did he manage them.

Christian Fuchs played for Leicester when they won the Premier League title. Fuchs is German for "fox".

Thomas Hitzlsperger gained the nickname "Der Hammer" during his time at Aston Villa. He later played for West Ham.

Unai Emery used to manage at the Emirates.

Oliver Glasner manages the team formerly nicknamed "the Glaziers".

And Hartlepool were managed for 11 games in 2022 by... Paul Hartley.

Also, here is a picture of Col U's Cole Skuse:

Sadly, Etienne Green has now left St-Etienne (les Verts).

"And Hartlepool were managed for 11 games in 2022 by... Paul Hartley". Also https://news.sky.com/story/har .

But Colin West misunderstood and played 150 games for Orient.

That bore Al Shearer had his youth career at Southampton, oddly.

A little contrived perhaps, but it completes the circumnavigation.
