triple centurian (no login) | well there was... | October 23 2009, 10:45 AM |
a footballer called Peter Haddock who played for Newcastle a few years back
a tennis player called Mardy Fish from the US as well as Tony Roche (Roach)
Maradona was alleged to have used the 'Hand of Cod' to batter one past Shilton
but the only other cricketer who springs to mind (three times over) was the Pollock family
Oh, and I think the Roger you refer to had a brother called Jeff who also played first class cricket for a short while

the owner of the team thats just won the constructors F1 title is called Ross Prawn
and the former Sri Lankan captain was called Arjan Rana-tuna (nearly)
and a few players used to bat with the SS Turbo(t) bat in the past
But for every joke there has to be a serious one so I give you....
Vyvian Pike who played for Gloucts a few years back
and apparently Zander de Bruyns first name is a fish but can't say I have ever caught or eaten one (knowingly) |

Wasn't there a CODdington a few years back? Footballer Bert Trautman.
Brett Lee's bowling has gone backwards in recent years so he could be called Eel Tterb nowadays. |

"Long John" Tunny-Cliffe?
Sadly neither WN Roe of Somerset or his son WN Roe of Buckinghamshire seems to have played against EH Sturgeon of the Transvaal.
On the names front, I'm still waiting for a match between Namibia and Durham, so that we can have Burger ct Mustard b Onions. |
