Diversion - A team with all players with the same surname

[BucksBear]

While waiting for a new manager to be announced, I was thinking if you had to pick a team of players past and present all having the same surname, which one would be it. It started because I was thinking about Rod Wallace and his brothers, then Lee and Jock in goals.

But just now I am thinking Henderson would be a good bet. Dean, Jordan, Willie, even the two potato faced boys that came through Celtic.

Ferguson had to be in with a shout. Then you could go smith or Wilson too.

If global try Jesus. Loads of these foreigners have Jesus somewhere in their name. Must be much better foreign ones…

 

[JayDee]

Yeah, I was thinking Ferguson. We've had quite a few plus there was a keeper called Bobby Ferguson.

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Must be a few Spanish names it would work with. Garcia, Suarez, Rodriguez, Sanchez.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

You can’t go wrong with Smith.


As an aside, there is zero chance of getting a team with my surname.

Just over 400 of us worldwide and outside of a Scottish premier league goalkeeper, only yours truly and my son has ever played organised football as far as I know.

We’d still pump the Rattlers though.(There are 3 in England)

[Ataturk]

I remember someone did some study of our players's surnames and Ferguson was the most common name for Rangers players.

 

[TheIbroxonian]

There ought to be a team of Grays?

Eddie, Andy, Frankie, Michael, Damarai for starters

 

[UlsterScotGer]

There’s a heart and hand pod I listened to last night and apparently Smith is the most common. Like you, I thought it would be Ferguson for us.

Must admit Malengus is a new one on me.

 

[A Class Above]

Quite an attacking line up but half way there with Dembele. Ousmane, Siriki, Karamoko, Moussa, and Mousa.

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Must admit Malengus is a new one on me.

My real one is worse.

 

[uddingstonbluenose]

Must be a few Spanish names it would work with. Garcia, Suarez, Rodriguez, Sanchez.

Hernandez - for starters you'd have Xavi, Chicarito, Theo and Lucas Hernandez, and Zidane's kids who seem to use their mother's maiden name.

 

[Howard Carter]

Must be a few Johnstone’s as well.

[dh1963]

[Rusty Shackleford]

The BBC has an article last year where they put an 11 together consisting of current players named Mendy. Some of them were second division players, mind you, but they got one

Being lazy and can’t be bothered checking but surely have been a good few in the past.

 

[Sir Know it All]

guy who sits near me would win this, as it would seem he is of the thought that every player who has ever played at Ibrox, for or against us has the surname of youyacunt,

Kamara youyacunt
Davis youyacunt
Brown youyacunt
Messi youyacunt

actual names of the people in his head.

 

[Texas ranger]

Surely a spot for Tommy Smith, Liverpool defender in the Smith team. Hard as nails and a great player.

Tried to start one named after kitchen appliances.

Got Les Fridge in goal, but struggling now.
