"Zambian Laughter Chilembe has played in Zimbabwe for Caps United FC, while I also know about Suprise Moriri from Mamelodi Sundowns in South Africa," says Tinashe Mutsungi Shoko. "But my favourite is one called Have-A-Look Dube playing for Njube Sundowns here in Zimbabwe! Any more strange/funny/good/ridiculous football names anyone can dredge up?"

"A quick look reveals some other odd-named players plying their trade in Zimbabwean football for Caps United," begins Mark Baker. "Givemore Manuella, Gift Makolonio and Method Mwanyazi are great names, but they pale into comparison beside Limited Chicafa and the outstandingly-named Danger Fourpence." Staying in Africa, there's also Stephen Sunny Sunday, who plays for Polideportivo Ejido, and South Africa's Naughty Mokoena and Tonic Chabalala. "Surely there can't be any stranger than Austrian side SC Schwanenstadt's marauding midfielder Osa Guobadia?" offers Andy Ferguson, who'll have to do better than that. "He has the name Ice Cream on the back of his shirt." More like it.

A very popular suggestion was Brazilian forward Creedence Clearwater Couto, whose parents were - fortunately - big fans of the American songsters, while there were also calls for former England internationals Harry Daft and Segar Bastard (who, incidentally, refereed an FA Cup final, played cricket for Essex and owned a racehorse).

However, it would be remiss of us to ignore Anthony Philip David Terry Frank Donald Stanley Gerry Gordon Stephen James Oatway - Charlie to his friends ("I'm named after the QPR 1972-73 promotion-winning team for those of you that have been on the moon all the time I've been at [Brighton]") - or three of our favourites: Australian keeper Norman Conquest, Seychelles star Johnny Moustache, and Congolese striker Bongo Christ.

MARADONA v BUSH

"Did I dream it, or did I really read about all-round legend Diego Maradona enhancing his reputation by once sticking it to George Bush?" enquires Donnie Miles. "I'm sure he called him 'garbage' or something like that. Why?"

It actually happened, Donnie, during Bush's trip to Buenos Aires for the Summit of the Americas in 2005. Maradona had learnt of Bush's impending arrival and made a pledge to lead the protests during an interview with Fidel Castro on his La Noche del Diez (The Night of the Number 10) television programme. "In Argentina, there are people who are against Bush being there," he said. "I am the first. He did us a lot of harm. As far as I'm concerned, he is a murderer; he looks down on us and tramples over us. I am going to lead that march along with my daughter."

The Guardian's report from November 5 recalls the protest: "The tone was struck by Maradona, who wore a 'Stop Bush' T-shirt to an anti-Bush 'counter-summit' that drew some 4,000 protesters from around the world and easily eclipsed the official summit in the public's attention. 'I'm proud as an Argentine to repudiate the presence of this human trash, George Bush,' said Maradona."

HOW GOOD WAS SEPP BLATTER?

"Did the great and the good of football officialdom (OK, Sepp Blatter) actually ever play the game professionally?" asks Andy Burrows.

Not professionally Andy, but you will be thrilled to know that football's biggest cheese did play as a striker at an amateur level for a number of years in Switzerland. Indeed, according to Fifa's official website Blatter's career spanned a whopping 23 years from 1948 (this is presumably including youth football as he would have been 12 at that time) to 1971 - most, if not all of which was spent with his hometown side FC Visp.

"I scored a lot of goals," boasted Blatter to interviewers from CNN as they filmed a television documentary about him last year. "That's not a false modesty - it's really true, especially at the youth level." We'd be inclined not to believe him about this, or the story about splitting a pair of boots ("I took the left, he took the right") with a friend for his first ever game, but since he did own up to diving and having a go at referees during his playing days in the same interview, we're prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.

KNOWLEDGE ARCHIVE

"Is it true that Morrissey is mates with QPR striker Kevin Gallen?" asked Harry Bevill in 2005.

Incredibly, Harry, the Mancunian miserablist is an acquaintance of the Rangers forward. According to an article in the League Paper, Morrissey met Gallen in Los Angeles in June - he was recording his album Ringleader Of The Tormentors, while the striker was in the city on holiday. Subsequently the pair became "email friends"; Gallen even sent Morrissey a personalised kit with 'Mozalini 10' on the back, which can be seen in the "November 2005 archive" here. "I've invited him to see a game when he's next back in England," said Gallen.
