I remember back in the early days of CM, the board used to suggest that you buy 'a big name player', so I always used to buy Chris Bart-Williams and ask them (out loud, every time) 'He got a big enough name for ya?'

I was young(ish) back then tho'. Wouldn't be guilty of such immature behaviour niowadays.

What do you mean it's not funny?. It may not be funny now, but it wasn't funny then either!

I'm 50,000% guilty of this. Double so when at a lower league team and any player going will do.

Last night while starting a new game with a freshly promoted Polish side I purchesed a Brazilian player called Rambo on a free transfer.

To be fair he's quite good. I'm still waiting for a "Rambo fires in a long range shot" or similar.

I do the oppsite to this and sometimes won't sign a player because I can't pronounce his name

I did that exact same thing as well.

And then I think I bought him from a club in Cyprus in FM05 just for the memories.
