South Park Quiz: Who’s That Footballer?
A Dutch site (crack linkbait fellas, well done) has put together a competition where they’re asking you to guess the names of 28 South Park ‘characters’. The twist is that these are modeled after actual players, and if you’re as culturally (read footballing-wise) uneducated as me, you’ll have some trouble in getting all the names right.
So…have a look, and share your thoughts / answers below (for those who haven’t done it, try it first before you cheat 
).
Hat tip to the neighbourhood Manchester United blogger for sending me the link.

nice one .. got just 14 of them correct so far
I need just the black guy with the white sash on his shirt, the two ajax guys that are next to another and one other black guy.
Nice Quiz!
The 2 Ajax guy are quite easy, me too cant find the black guy with a slash on his shirt.
Hey the ganster at the end, isnt Pennant ??
So far have the following :
Rooney, Baggio, Cech, Riijkard, Abel Xavier, Edgar Davids, Barthez, Cisse, Georgie Best, R De Boer, F De Boer, Valderrama, Gullit, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Maradona…12 to go…
add Caniggia, Higuita, Voller to that list
One of them is Paul Breitner. I’d recognise those mutton chops anywhere!
Abel Xavier is in there too.
Also added Babel (nice one…),
Rudi Voller
Platini
Its a little annoying that you have to get the name spellings EXACTLY right. Couldn’t spell Valderrama correctly
Add Ravanelli.
I would have never got Fabrizio Ravanelli w/o your help Hugo.
Alexi Lalas with the guitar
hehe
Winston Bogarde is on there
he’s the gangster btw
Ok i need help with my last 3 - the blonde bearded guy, dark guy with black t-chirt & white sash, goalie in the super hero costume - help anyone?
OK on a hunch i typed in Romario - & he’s the guy in the black t-shirt with white sash & bongoes!!
Well done - Mr Drowsy in his Vasco shirt
I am stuck on the same two as you Spiral… I have tried every single great keeper I know… from Zoff to Buffon to Tomaszewski to Casillas lol
Jorge Campos = flamboyant clothes
I tried Chilavert & Hislop & no go. Who was the Peruvian goalkeeper in the ‘78 World Cup? Might be him.
Cheers Rook! 1 more to go
Cool thanx! Now just have the blonde bearded guy left…
almost got the whole lot.. cept for 5 more..
the shock rocker
the drooling dutch
sleepy bongo player
gambling blonde
and mr.t lookalike..
any help?
any idea who the blonde beard dude might be? feyenoord player is all i can make of him…
Ditto… and I have tried all of the great feyenoord players I can think of… he looks dutch or belgian
I have all of them except for the Superhero,the long blonde next to the superhero and the bongo player with the black shirt white sash.
Thought it might have been Kindvall, but to no avail
He looks more Tuetonic to me. KNow any Feyenoord players who are notorious for their gambling?
Nope… and I have to stop neglecting my work soon!
YAY! John De Wolf!!!!!!
Did he have a gambling problem?!
I suppose playing for Wolves does count.
Phew! The last ones were really taxing…
Thanks to everyone for their help.
Any clues about the superhero?
Hint: The bongo player is in fact a Samba man from Vasco da Gama
cheers mate… now i can get resume my life normally again… lol
OK i had the time to do this. Final list from to left to right:
Babel, Voller, Rooney, Lalas
Baggio, Cech, Rijkaard, Xavier
Caniggia, Davids, Platini, Romario
Barthez, Cisse, de Wolf, Campos
Best, R de Boer, F de Boer, Valderrama
Gullit, Ravanelli, Beckham, Breitner
Ronaldinho, Maradona, Bogarde, Higuita
DCS… look above… or: a goalkeeper with a flamboyant dress sense, from south america.
Bye all! back to work lol
try not to look at the answers… spoils the fun… =P i’d say, without help i would have missed out on 3 of them only…
Great fun.
Will people ever forget Rijkaard’s spitting incident?
I tried Stuart Pearce and Paul Scholes before I got Rooney, that is probably the least convincing one.
only breitner i didn’t got… don’t know him… :S
Loved this quiz, knew about 1/2 of them on my own. Had no idea who many of the oldschool dudes were.
