Footballing nominative determinism 09:43 - Oct 6 with 12522 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?
