When Collingwood unveiled debutant Liam Puncher in their win over the Gold Coast Suns last weekend, many sat up and took notice of the kid's tough name.
Puncher. Gosh, that's a strong surname. Heaps of fodder for commentators, fans, and teammates alike. Taken in the recent Mid-Season Draft, the South Australian has taken his Puncher's chance, and run with it. Just wait until he becomes a 100-game pillar of Magpies' backlines of the future.
It got us here at ZH HQ mulling over some of the 22-year-old's contemporaries in this space.
Have a go at a dozen of my favourite names in the game!
2. Steele Sidebottom
Ahhhhhh, Side-ass.
You knew he was going to feature. The sibilance, the humour, the length. It's a ripping name, belonging to a ripping fella, and a ripping footballer.
A country lad who's been a fixture of two Collingwood flags - first as a fine-feathered youngster, and then again as the grizzled and bald veteran.
The original and the best.
