Variation on a theme

We’ve done it with film stars and with films, but what about footballers?

Simply change one letter of a footballer’s name to make something new and infinitely more amusing. For example:

Damien Puffwinger and friend of Dorothy

Thierry Henly - top Japanese striker

Bobby Chorltonslapheaded former kids TV favourite

Harry Jewellpermainjured Australian treasure

Robbie FoulerScouse hatchet man

Robin van PersilDutch washing powder thief

Shay Nivengoalkeeper and suave actor

Eric Cuntonajust coz

Gary DirtlesFilthy former Forest forward

John DivineFull back and fat, drag queen cabaret act

Johnny PilesHemorrhoid afflicted ex-player and RTE pundit

Kevin MoronNot terribly intelligent centre-half

Steve MouldFormer Gunner made up of microscopic fungi

….

The possibilities are almost endless. Over to you. Remember, you can just change one letter, not two, not add letters, or anything else.
