Players whose names are a lie

Van der Beek - not a duck

Lucas - did not create Star Wars

Owen - not a kitchen appliance
 
Adam Armstrong - anything but armstrong

From now on his name is Adam Traore. The Wolves guy is Adama Armstrong
 
Rod Fanni - does not go fishing with his fanny
 
Slightly off topic but who would have thought arguably two of the best ever footballers were both called Ronaldo.

Jordan Pickford - drives Lamborghini actually.
Pascal Groß - googled him, it really isn't that bad.
 
Lenell John-Lewis - is not a shop.
Gijsbert Bos - isn't a boss and won't get your bird.
 
Ansu Fati - is actually pretty lean.
 
Ricky Van Wolfswinkel - It probably means something completely different in Dutch. But none the less, I doubt he came from a wolf's winkel.

David Goodwillie - how do we know it is, has anyone seen it?

Danny Shiitu - Is not a coprophile - well not that we know of.

Danger Fourpence - neither dangerous or had fourpence - he might have had more, but judging by his career, I doubt it.

Lars Bender - Does not bend steel in the future.

Sven Bender - Is not one.

Junior Bent - and he is - is how he was announced to the crowd. I believe he wasn't.
 
Norman Conquest - was a footballer rather than an invasion of England almost a thousand years ago.
Danny Invincible - played for Kilmarnock and Swindon, so maybe wasn't so invincible.
Danger Fourpence - not dangerous and worth a little more than four pence.
Michael Gash .......
 
Ashley is not that Young anymore.

Michael Ball is not a ball.

Andy and Ashley (amongst others) aren't veggies
 
There was a time in his career when he was actually pretty shit.
As times continues ever onwards, Im increasingly sure he smashed us then did nothing for the rest of his career
 
Teddy Sheringham - notoriously selfish when it comes to sharing various cured meats.

Edit - also not a cuddly toy.
 
Vicente del Bosque doesn't come from the forest.
Pedro Porro is not a joint.
Koke Resurrección is not the Holy spirit and Pepe Reina is not a queen
 
Daniel Drinkwater - doesn't always drink water
Jessie Lingard - is not a girl, if he was she'd look like Phil Jones' girlfriend/wife
Phil Younghusband - is a middle aged husband now
 
3 pages and nobody has mentioned that Marvelous Nakamba isn't all that marvelous
 
Marvelous Nakamba - No. Just Standard Nakamba.(His mum is charitable...Allegedly...)
