The Roma shot-stopper has one of the most complicated names in football

Reza Ghoochannejhad in all his glory

Choosing the forwards was a rather difficult job. On the left, Dutch-Iranian forward, Reza Ghoochannejhad, who plays for Dutch club, SC Heerenveen, has been burdened with the goal-scoring duties. He scored 22 goals in 34 games last season, proving that he is actually a good striker.

Partnering him is someone whose name is impossible to pronounce, Billy Ketkeophomphone. Yes, I kid you not. And no, this is not a fictional character I just made up to give this slideshow a cracking ending. Ketkeophomphone, yes, that is his real name.

He is a French player of Lao descent and plays for Angers in Ligue 1. He is a pretty decent player who would do an above average job in assisting his strike partner, Reza. Ketkeophomphone. That’s wicked.
