Neil Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 A very random thought: Ameobi has 4 syllables but only 6 letters. Can any footballers better that? I was going to post exactly that, then I thought no-one else would be weird enough to find that vaguely interesting. A 1.5 words per syllable rate is impressively low.

You underestimated me Iniesta and Elokobi have 4 in 7, so just miss out. Tiote 3 in 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I know it doesn't beat Ameobi, but ''Iniesta'' is close. 7 letters and 4 syllables if you pronounce it ''in-ee-es-ta'' EDIT:Way too late, must refresh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Now we're getting into choppy waters. Punctuational aid is pretty controversial. And isn't it Lua-Lua? If it has no dash, then Shola has a competitor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I know it doesn't beat Ameobi, but ''Iniesta'' is close. 7 letters and 4 syllables if you pronounce it ''in-ee-es-ta'' EDIT:Way too late, must refresh In Spanish it's pronounced I-nies-ta, though. Agüero would tie Ameobi, but again in Spanish it's A-güe-ro and not A-gü-e-ro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
