I can't see the page either but I would guess that the fact that his middle name is Bellend raised a giggle amongst our more immature posters.

I shamelessly include myself in that category.

Presumably they've copied it from a vandalised version of his Wikipedia page

It was on the football365 website yesterday with two seperate sources so it looks as if it may well be true.

That was the explanation I read on a couple of news sites yesterday.

From the chat page on wiki:

It is circulating on many forums etc (and for some reason the South African presidential web page http://www.thepresidency.gov.za/orders_list.asp?show=482 ) that his middle name is "Bellend"; an offensive term (or at least it is in the UK) and in contradiction to his official bio on the FIFA webpage. There have been several attempts to add this to the page as vandalism, perhaps semi protection is warranted? Badgerific (talk) 17:21, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

It's already semi-protected, precisely for that reason. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Or at least, it was earlier. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:24, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, sorry, I hadn't notice. Badgerific (talk) 17:31, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
