Discussion Your favourite fake player name?

Just wondering what everyone's favourite fake player name is?

On the NTSC version of ISS 2000 (Different names on European version) I really like Germany's Bierhoff fake name "Beerbob" purely because it's fun to say... Try it... Beerbob 😂

What's yours?

Murillo, though necessarily for the name. Whoever worked on the game put extra effort to make sure everyone knew he was Valderrama.

The Legend. Yeah they did that with a few players. Ravanelli of Italy was always easily distinguished too with his silver hair.

It's got to be Galfano from ISS Deluxe. If you say Galfano to soccer fans who played video games during this era they immediately know what you're talking about. The pixel ponytail was epic!

The divine ponytail of course. Great football player and great in ISS too.

Boursin, like the cream cheese. Happened to be Gert Verheyen as well.

Umbro for Chapuisat.

I'm not overly familiar with 64, I played more 98 and 2000 but indeed that is a good name 😄

El Hadji Diouf was "Dempo" in one of them and was an absolute beast! Dempo always popped up with a brace as a minimum.

Yeah that would have been in Pro Evolution Soccer I think. Any International Superstar Soccer names you recall?

Oh pardon me! You're right, apologies. I played the hell out of all the ISS games on N64 but it's been so long that I don't recall. Need to crack them out!

All good. The N64 games are so much fun. Easy to play, difficult to master!

The whole Master League side from the Pro Evo games. My mate even got a shirt with "Espimas" on the back. I was always a Ximelez guy though.

Minanda is always a fan favourite too but for the r/ISSoccer do you recall any International Superstar Soccer fake names that you liked?

Von Mistelroum easy. The fact that child me read it as Von Mushroom made it even better
