Brazil is still the place to find The Beautiful Name

You can find plenty of Arces kicking a ball about in Latin America. The one that sticks out a mile though is former Paraguay full-back Chiqui Arce. The deadball specialist represented his country 61 times including trips to the 1998 and 2002 World Cups. I can picture Dazza Rowbotham enjoying Arce’s service into the box but fielding them both could see us a little exposed at the wrong end.
Born on the Brazilian bayou Creedence Clearwater Couto is one fortunate son who is living the dream as a professional footballer. Clearly born to move the striker turned up with Lierse in Belgium before causing a commotion with Madureira back in Rio. It’s just a though but sticking Couto up top to riff off Adam Stanfield’s lung capacity would surely get the Big Bank in good voice.
Roberto Dinamite made an explosive impact on Brazilian football as he smashed Vasco de Gama’s all-time scoring record and jetted off with his country to the 1978 and 1982 World Cups. When Roberto hung up his boots in 1993 it dashed football fans’ hopes of ever seeing a Dinamite and Devine frontline in action.
Argelico Fucks is the proud owner of a Brazil cap as well as getting his hands on all the top honours in Portugal and back home. His 2001 move from Palmeiras to the Portuguese League was greeted with the headline “Fucks off to Benfica”. One imagines the defender would be on the same wavelength as legendary City and England goalkeeper Dick Pym.
You wont get a second look these days from Givanildo Vieira de Souza if you call him by the name his mother gave him. That’s because the striker was rechristened Hulk after a string of sterling performances for Japanese club Tokyo Verdy. Nowadays the Brazilian has little to get angry about as he turns out for Porto in the Champions League. What an awesome sight it would be to see Panther and Hulk tearing into an opposition together.
Bolivian free scoring midfielder Pedro Power is currently turning out for Puerto Rican side Guaynabo Fluminense. Stick him in a side with our Graham and you’d be finishing the season with more trebles than Phil Taylor
Here’s hoping John Barnes picks up a few gems for his new club along the lines of Brazilian defender Rafael Scheidt. The £5 million quid capture played less than 90 minutes for Celtic and was quickly farmed out when Martin O’Neill took over at Parkhead. Big Rafael was just the kind of defender Little Les could leave looking Affuly Scheidt indeed.
A player who can do it all on his own is Brazilian striker Ricardo Virtuoso. This lone frontman has plied his trade in Switzerland and the United States as well as in his homeland. Stylish both on and off the pitch young Ricardo is renowned as being a dedicated follower of Basham.
One of the few teams with a name to match all these luminaries of the game is Wanka F.C, the lower league club even play in a fetching shade of green. Even though the Peruvian outfit’s name can raise a smile I still haven’t found a team name which makes me laugh as much as Torquay United.
Up the City!
