Football is the most popular sport in the world.

It's played in every corner of the globe and provides employment for millions of people.

The sheer volume of professional players is immense and with that volume comes some absolutely hilarious names.

Ex-Germany striker Stefan Kuntz was one of the most famous instances of having a rather unfortunate name - when spoken in English at least.

But football fans on a Reddit thread have provided some more and believe us when we say this - they're pure gold.

We've scoured through the comments and picked out the funniest and don't worry, they are all real.

But there is simply no better name in the history of football than Daddys Boy Nyentue.

Imagine Martin Tyler screaming 'Daddy Boy Nyentueeeeeeeeeeee!!!!' on a Super Sunday as the Norwegian striker wheels away in celebration.

We need a Premier League club to snap up the 19-year-old as soon as possible, just for the comedic value.
