South Park Quiz: Who’s That Footballer?

Written by Ahmed Bilal. Tagged: Off The Record

South Park Character

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.

  13. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    One of them is Paul Breitner. I’d recognise those mutton chops anywhere! :D

    Abel Xavier is in there too.

  14. November 1, 2007Tabasco Sauce

    Also added Babel (nice one…),

  15. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Rudi Voller

  16. Platini

  17. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    Its a little annoying that you have to get the name spellings EXACTLY right. Couldn’t spell Valderrama correctly

  18. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Add Ravanelli.

  19. I would have never got Fabrizio Ravanelli w/o your help Hugo.

  20. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Alexi Lalas with the guitar :-) hehe

  21. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

  22. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

  23. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    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?

  24. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    OK on a hunch i typed in Romario - & he’s the guy in the black t-shirt with white sash & bongoes!!

  25. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Well done - Mr Drowsy in his Vasco shirt ;)

  26. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    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

  27. Jorge Campos = flamboyant clothes

  28. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    I tried Chilavert & Hislop & no go. Who was the Peruvian goalkeeper in the ‘78 World Cup? Might be him.

  29. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Cheers Rook! 1 more to go

  30. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

  33. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Ditto… and I have tried all of the great feyenoord players I can think of… he looks dutch or belgian

  34. November 1, 2007DCS Compton

    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. :P

  35. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Thought it might have been Kindvall, but to no avail :-(

  36. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    He looks more Tuetonic to me. KNow any Feyenoord players who are notorious for their gambling?

  37. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Nope… and I have to stop neglecting my work soon!

  38. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    YAY! John De Wolf!!!!!! :D

  39. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    Did he have a gambling problem?! :P I suppose playing for Wolves does count.

  40. November 1, 2007Spiral Architect

    Phew! The last ones were really taxing…

    Thanks to everyone for their help. :D

  41. Nice work guys :)
  42. November 1, 2007DCS Compton

    Hint: The bongo player is in fact a Samba man from Vasco da Gama :D

  45. November 1, 2007Hugo Steckelmacher

    DCS… look above… or: a goalkeeper with a flamboyant dress sense, from south america.

    Bye all! back to work lol

  46. 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…

  47. Great fun.

    Will people ever forget Rijkaard’s spitting incident?

  48. I tried Stuart Pearce and Paul Scholes before I got Rooney, that is probably the least convincing one.

  49. only breitner i didn’t got… don’t know him… :S

  50. Loved this quiz, knew about 1/2 of them on my own. Had no idea who many of the oldschool dudes were.
