There's that dick Barton at Man.City,and Poirrot at Liverpool.
Malcolm "Agatha" Christie.
I don't think Agatha Christie was either fictional or a detective, Twenty, but at least you had a go!!
Come on, you miserable bastards. Take the bait!
Petr "Bana" Cech. Kojak Charlton. Kerry Dixon of Dock Green. Will this do?
OK,
ok not a premiership player but still worthy
Christian Vieri nickname is Bobo, which leads to
"Bobo the detective chimp"
by John Broome
I was hoping for Marlon "Jason" King or Robbie "Doc" Savage.
And no you can't have Sir Arthur Kevin Doyle.
Or The Champions.
Dirty Harry Redknapp.
Erm, The Equalizer. Do I win?
Paul (Pete) McGrath by Michael Brett
a detective with no first name so I will presume its Danny
D B Murphy by Richard Thomas
Can I be the first to say I can't think of any footballer who fits the profile that the post demands from us at all, and furthermore, can't even think of some funny quip to make which relates to the whole malarkey either?

Will, it seems from the answers that you're the fifth person not to be able to come up with correct reply to the question.
We can end this now if someone asks me who "Poirrot" is?
No. Wait. Judging by the above efforts, I think we should turn this into a competition and let them guess. There's no way on earth this lot will get it.
By the way. Hello Cakes! You're very welcome.
About fucking time.
Yeah, welcome to Myspave,Cakes.
Look - you now show up as number 1 search on Google for ...
footballers who share name fictional detectives
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=footballers+who+share+name+fictional+detectives&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
Give us a clue, you bastard (just trying to keep the footballing theme going).
Cheers, Twenty.
He plays for Liverpool.
It's Poirot, not Poirrot.
He isn't Belgian.
John Parrot?
Scouse snooker player.
I can sense that you're struggling there, Will.
Ahh, Chief Superintendent Jack Hobbs from West Yorkshire, the main character in Alf Tupper's late 19th century series 'Heartbeat'.
He was a cricketer, wasn't he? And I only know that thanks to Python.
Doesn't play for Liverpool, but I give you Vasquez's fictional detective Carvalho, whose nickname is Pepe, which is the same name as the Liverpool goalkeeper.
Reidski. Yay! What kept you?
Too much fucking googling for my own good, that's what kept me ;-)
ha ha ha. I bet J.J. will get it.
Listen, Martin's told me the answer to the Poirot thing. If you know how his tiny mind works, you should get it in that's it's the most convoluted pun as usual. By the way, didn't Burt Reynolds play BL Stryker some time in the 70s/80s?
Reidski, is that the stuff published by Serpents Tail? I bought a copy of one of his from a specialist crime bookshop in Dublin but haven't a clue where it is now. Still, Carvalho who'd have been the best answer so far.
Not even a Nicky "Gene" Hunt (Life on Mars) to show for my troubles, damn you all.
It may be a tiny mind but it's dense.
(has anyone noticed that Cakes has changed sex?)
Mart--
If it's that one entitled "The Centre-Forward Dies at Dusk" or some such, I think I have it somewhere. I read it. It's shite.
I didn't notice Cakes's sex change, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Hey, Cakes is more than one person, you know. Z Carsley.
For the Poirot thing, Twenty Major has the right author. Dr Knot - as a Liverpool fan, you should know this. Alex Ferguson - Taggart, right?
So Cakes is more than one person and you still can't muster up a single blog post between you. Even when Martin writes a two-line post and gets 31 comments.
32.
If Wigan had been relegated the other week, I would have ventured a guess at 'Emile & the Defectives'.
33, btw
