Unique Christian Names

[CK]

Spelly, this is probably one you already have a file on, ready to go, but out of interest - which players to have played SANFL have been the ONLY example of someone with their christian name in the league?

Was thinking of the likes of Ugo Colosante, Yves Siebenaler and Pepe Illiano (spelling?)with this one.

[godoubleblues]

how about Jody Arnol, couldnt have been too many Jody's play SANFL

[Psyber]

Don't forget Aldo Rosetto who played for Westies in the late 1950s and perhaps early 60s - CHF I think.

[spell_check]

Don't forget Aldo Rosetto who played for Westies in the late 1950s and perhaps early 60s - CHF I think.

He's not the only Aldo - there has also been Aldo Baraglia (South), Aldo Floreani (Torrens) and Aldo Russian (West).

[McAlmanac]

Wilbur Wilson? I know - there's another Wilbur!

[spell_check]

Yes, Wilbur Harris and Wilbur Horsborough both played for Torrens.

[Thiele]

Hamish Harlett

[spell_check]

There's been three other players with the name Hamish: Hamish Simpson (Eagles), Hamish Stuart (Glenelg) and Hamish Tamlin (Norwood).

[GWW]

Yeah Hamish is a relatively common first name.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Wilf Huddleston from Port Adelaide and Central District. How many players named Wilf?

If we were talking VFL, Hawthorn had a player with a sensational name in the late 1960s ... Rochford Devenish-Meares. That would take some beating

[MatteeG]

Des Drogemuller- not because there werent any other Des', just thought his name was funny...

[spell_check]

I have him on the list as Wilfred. There have been 10 players with the name Wilfred.

[nickname]

Jordan Wood is listed but Jordan Russell also played League for West.
Couple of other queries spelly:
Grantley Fielke?
Marc Dragicevic?

And I thought Tankosic's name was Dragan. I can remember seeing it spelt Dragan and Dragon in budgets.
p.s. I am in awe of your data base.

[spell_check]

I've seen it spelt Drajan and Dragan, either way he is the only one.

There has been for Marc: Marc Bullen (Port), Marc Cox (Norwood) and Marc Marshall (North and West). Grantley could also be Grant on my list, all up there are 19 Grant and 3 Grantley.

This list I have on Excel appears in the List of Players thread on here.

[Adelaide Hawk]

Silvano Cece Sturt

Sonny Morey Central

I played footy at school with Silvano. He combined above average skills with tremendous leg speed and would have been a top player except he was stricken with injury early in his career and never played again. He became Sturt's league runner because he could still run in a straight line but couldn't twist and turn. He played in the 1976 Preliminary Final for Sturt but didn't make the Grand Final team ... and Sturt never gave him a ticket to the GF. Thought that was a bit rough.

Sonny Morey, what a great player. Did okay on the wing but when shifted to the back pocket became a sensational player. The funny thing about Sonny is he never minded people having at a go at him for being aboriginal, but if anyone dared call him a Pom, he wasn't impressed

[spell_check]

The name Ivan:

There has been 12 players with the name Ivan:

Ivan Dangerfield Port
Ivan Davey North South
Ivan Eckermann Port
Ivan Holliday Norwood
Ivan Koehne South
Ivan Maric Port
Ivan Moore Glenelg
Ivan Muster Norwood
Ivan Ophel Norwood
Ivan Scott Sturt
Ivan Wakefield Sturt
Ivan Ward Sturt

[nickname]

Thanks spelly.
I can't find that list - what about Aris Gatoudis? (West 1984-85).

[Psyber]

The name Ivan:

There has been 12 players with the name Ivan:

Ivan Dangerfield Port
Ivan Davey North South
Ivan Eckermann Port
Ivan Holliday Norwood
Ivan Koehne South
Ivan Maric Port
Ivan Moore Glenelg
Ivan Muster Norwood
Ivan Ophel Norwood
Ivan Scott Sturt

I wonder how many answered to Eyevan and how many demanded Eevan?

[Psyber]

Was there a "Wolf" [?surname] who played for Sturt years ago?
