Football Manager: C’est Magnifique!

Being clever types who probably know more about football than all of us put together, most of you will be familiar with the concept of Football Manager regens.

For those too busy/lazy/baffled to have time for an online career in football management, regens are “youth players created by the game to replace retiring players. Every team gets a youth intake once per season, effectively making the game endless.” (H/T Wilko!)

Why do you care?
Well, as we know from Puma’s recent marketing gaffe, computers don’t yet pick up the hilarity available in some combinations of letters, and while most FM regens enjoy conventional names, the occasional beauty is thrown up.

This post is but a small selection.

Gotta be made up them fuckers. Dunc might be legit, I've seen quite a few 'regular' looking one namer regens come up, like 'johnson' and 'peter' I think.

"Knobloch" is probably legit. The German for "garlic" is "Knoblauch" so it's not much of a stretch to imagine a similar word in Norwegian.

Dutch for garlic is knoflook.

The Greek for garlic is σκόρδο.

Looking at it again, "Horny" might be legit as well. I notice he's from Slovakia and the ending "rny" is reasonably common in surnames from there and the Czech Republic.

The Australian for garlic is garlicmate.

The Scottish for garlic is chips with white sauce.
