With it being only a few days until Christmas I have decided to have a bit of fun and create my Christmas XI, a football team made up of puns on footballer’s names with a Christmas theme in mind. Just to be more creative I’ve decided to avoid the obvious names such as Jesus Navas and Roque Santa Cruz etc. Here’s what I have gone for. Enjoy!

Team Name: Sleighton Orient

Manager: David Toyes

Stadium: Tinsel Bank

GK: Darren Rudolph

RB: Phil Bardsleigh

CB: Per Mertecracker

CB: Johan Djourousalem

LB: Marcos Ho-Ho

RM: Ryan Baubel

CM: Mesut Snowzil

CM: Fabian Elf

LM: Wayne Sproutledge

ST: Diafra Sakho-hoho

ST: Danny stuff-Ings
