G'day to the wonderful Sports Talk tribe. Yesterday I posted the first part of the coolest footballer names of all-time. Check it out here.
It made me happy seeing how much people enjoyed the post and makes me excided to prevent the final part and the coolest names in world football.
7. Wolfgang Wolf
I need to make Wolfgang Wolf honorary president of my blog Wolfgang Sport. Wolfgang translates into Path of the Wolf in German. That means his name translates into Path of the Wolf Wolf. Maybe it's supposed to be like woof woof? Either way it's a super cool name for the former Bundesliga defender turned coach.
6. Laughter Chilembe
Yes, Laughter Cilembe is the name of a Zambian international who played 43 times for his national team.
5. Max Power
A legendary name stolen from Homer Simpson, who got the idea straight off of a hair dryer. As good as his name is, Max Power never reached the Premier League.
4. Christ Bongo
Christ Bongo represented the Republic of Congo. I feel like a rap superstar just saying that. Whenever he missed a goal, you could yell “Oh Christ” without feeling like you just broke the commandment "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain".
3. Danny Drinkwater
Former England international Danny Drinkwater was banned from driving for 20 months in 2019 after driving his Range Rover into a wall while registering an alcohol reading of twice the driving limit. His parents tried to warn him. He really should've listened to his own name.
BREAKING: Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater has been charged with drink driving.

2. Gaëtan Bong
If Danny Drinkwater got on the piss, then you can guess what Cameroonian left back Gaetan Bong is going to be smoking tonight.
1. Jan Vennegor of Hesselink
The former Dutch international striker sounds like he's a sovereign prince of some sort. His surname actually came about from the 1600s when two families - the Vennegoor and Hesselink families intermarried. Both families shared equal social status so instead of choosing one surname, both surnames was used. 'Of' is the Dutch translation of 'Or' and so rather than hyphenating surnames like in English, we're left with one of the most royally sounding names in football.
YES, ANOTHER FOOTBALL BLOG...
Football Blog FC is a spin-off of Wolfgang Sport, an American and British sports blog I created in 2017. The beautiful game isn't what I remember it to be as a kid and using satire is my way of coping with it. FBFC was created to write about football with a bit of fun reflecting the current state of football.
