Most Common Player Name

[Chip and Chase]

Manly have had over 500 first grade players. What is the most common surname amongst those players ?

There are 3 surnames that have had 5 players each playing under that name.

 

[The Eagle]

My guessing would be Fulton,Bailey and Williams
Fulton must have 5,to bad all but one sucked ass
Bailey has 2 useless pricks but is very common
Williams has 2 current and probably more due to common

Robinson would also be close as would Stewart spelling subjective

Im sure Fulton made it to atleast 4

 

[jjai]

thompson ,fulton ,williams

 

[Bradza]

I think Walker would pobably be up there. I agree with Thompson.

Nice challenge C & C.

 

[Dan]

Hard to go past Fulton, thompson and williams

Though surely smith is in there somewhere

 

[Chip and Chase]

Williams is one. Graham 1971, Greg 1979, Darrell 1987, Wolfman 2008 and T-Rex 2009.

Only 3 Fultons that I remember, Bob, Scott and Brett

Walker is a good guess, that was my original thought when I wondered about this topic. Bruce (Goldie), Andrew, Ben and an Alan back in 1952.

Smith was an obvious guess, but only 4 of those as well, similarly only 3 Jones.

3 x Thomson and 1 x Thompson.

4 x Baileys

Of the other 2 answers, one is a colour and the could be a first name as well as a surname.

 

[The Eagle]

Black and for the other im stumped,i keep coming up with Riley but i cant remember any manly players with that name,nor can i with Black

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Ray, Dave, Adam, Max (played in our first premiership teams) and Fred, a prop in our first ever GF side.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Spot On SER8. There was also a Damien Browne in '98.

One to go.

[Utility Player]

How about Kelly?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Well done UP, Kelly it is.

Pat (1964), Peter (1965), Ken (1984), Martin-John (1996) and Bradley (2003)

Can't say I remember any of them to be honest.
