Ridiculous names in sport
");
document.write("I found your piece rather funny, but how about “Vleis” Visagie the Natal prop (all of a sudden I’m not so sure about the Natal part anymore). Somewhere in the late 80’s there was also a forward, I think he played for Northern Transvaal who was called “Domkrag”.

document.write("11. Miroslav Satan - His name sounds more like a character out of a horror film or even the book of Revelation. Although it is pronounced \"sha-TAHN,\" one could confuse Miroslav with a much-less likable character, or even the Prince of Darkness himself. Satan has managed to have a good career and has scored 301 goals in 12 seasons and is among the elite players, but will always be among the elite worst names in the NHL.
12. Pete LaCock - Pete LaCock's stay in Major League Baseball was rather short and uninteresting. His nine-year career ended with a flaccid .257 batting average and a total of 27 homeruns. Needless to say, Pete couldn't cut it with the big boys. He should have gotten into show business like his old man Peter \"Marshall\" who was the host of \"Hollywood Squares\" from 1966-1981. Maybe little Pete should have followed in his father's footsteps and changed his last name.
13. Misty Hyman - Misty Hyman made this list for having the most disturbing name a woman could probably have (except for No. 2 on our list). The 2000 Sydney Olympics gold medalist failed to break through and qualify for the 2004 Olympics in Athens and has fallen off the Earth since then, but we can never forget Misty Hyman.
14. Harry Colon - Harry Colon is not only remembered for having one of the worst names a parent ever gave their child, but he does hold the Jacksonville Jaguars' season record for interceptions (three). His six years in the NFL will be remembered more for delivering gut-busting laughs when his name was announced than his ability to intercept the ball. Maybe he should have gone to medical school and become Dr. Harry Colon, proctologist.
15. Dick Butkus - Dick Butkus may be most noted for his low crew-cut styled hair, though it may be his horrible name. This Hall of Fame linebacker for the Bears was given a terrible last name pronounced \"butt-kiss,\" but to make matters worse, his mother and father, for some reason, gave him the name Dick. What were you thinking mama and papa Butkus? What were you thinking?

document.write("Hi
Neels here who is writing for suparugby.com and who is responsible for the Bulls' website.
I was primarius of Dromedaris (RAU) when Varkhond was a first year.
This is how he got his name (the house committee decides on a name and then you keep it for life...)
Every year we have a number of dogs in res..for instance Skaaphond, Waghond, Heidihond etc
we also have a number of pigs (varke) ...Spaarvark, Mavark, Troetelvark, Varknek etc
we then realized that we do not have a pig or a dog nickname in the class on 2000 and that is how Varkhond got his name...
he was on the House Committee a few years later...
thanks for great website..i read it every day. Neels Marais");
