I was watching the Olympic Women's Gymnastics the other night and found myself in pain after seeing one of the American competitors name was Shawn Johnson!

This got me thinking what other funny names are there in sport. A few others I could think of were:

Misty Hyman (American Swimmer)
Danny Sh*ttu (Watford FC Player)
Natalie Titcum (Aussie Softballer)
Toby Osh*tola (Barnet FC Player)
Oliver de Cock (Belgian Footballer)
Mark de Man (Belgian Footballer) 

Anyone else got any amusing ones??

There was another runner last night and although I dont know how his name was spelt, the commentator said the equivalent of Jerkov.

There is a French player called Dou Dou! We had him and Shi2 playing about 5 years ago. Oddly enough, when we were in the "crap". Lonegunmen2008-08-21 15:21:04
