Came to post this , also the Episode is on ch4 +1 just now
 
These players names always make me laugh:

Arriaga
Arriaga II
Barriaga
Aruglia
Pizzoza

Can't wait for the next Mexico vs Portugal match. Although wasn't there serious crowd trouble at the last one, @David Edgar? And if I remember rightly it was some Scottish hard men at the thick of it.
 
The French keeper Dropsy (who was actually very good!) and the Spaniard Ufarte :))
Dominique Dropsy played against us for Bordeaux in a friendly (or two).

There was a keeper in the lower leagues called Jim Butters too.

Another who was at Chelsea and St Mirren was Les Fridge. He played in the game we got the trophy in 1987. Archie, bless him, only referred to him in commentary as "Youngsgter".
 
West Ham backup keeper Alphonse Areola.

I remember hearing on a radio report that Kilmarnock player, Danny Invincible, had been taken off 'with a sore leg'. Not really living up to his name.
 
Was a boy called Success that played for Watford (now in Italy).

Couldn't help but finish the line from the Human League song every time the commentator said his name.
 
Watching the Leicester City game here and the lad Ndidi always reminds me of the character on Steve Wright in the Afternoon back in the 80 with his “yes indeedee” stuff.
