NG the shortest. Who's the longest?

Tue Jan 19, 2021 4:17 pm

So our new full back undoubtedly has the shortest surname of anybody who's played for us (I think)

But who's had the longest surname?

Schwinkedorf?

Ndumbu-Nsungu?

Any other offers?

Ng unlikely to ever be beaten; unless we sign someone from Barry Town with the surname 'O' ;) :laughing6:

Longest? I think Kevin Thoephile-Catherine (17 letters plus the hyphen) must be right up there, as someone says above, with John Schwinkendorf (13 letters) possibly the longest singular name :thumbright:

Dimitrios Konstantopoulos was pretty long at 15 letters but I don't think he played enough to worry the club shop!

Not the longest name mentioned here but Quincy Owusu-Abeyie is definitely up there!

Is Floyd part of Hasselbaink's first or surname? Maybe just a middle name
