"This interesting and rare surname, found widely recorded in Gloucestershire, is the Anglicized form of a Dutch name which may have arrived in England at two periods in English history. Firstly, it may have arrived in Gloucestershire when Edward 111 brought Flemish weavers over to teach their craft to the English, with many settling in the Cotswolds. More likely however, the name followed later from Holland due to the religious persecution of French Huguenots, by the Duke of Alba who suppressed the Protestant revolt in the Netherlands (1567 - 1572), and who fled to nearby countries."

And jcb, I'd let go of the Nasher bashing. You're not exactly covering yourself in glory.

Nasher is clearly a racist. He obviously hates all anglicised dutch aboriginal Turks. What a shameless racist.

Thanks for the surname history. Interesting.

Agree on jcb too.

Les Bian is a standout, very skillfull, hard at it backman,,,,,,

True story. There was a L.Behan played for Melb U19's in 60's and went on to be a start at Port Melbourne

Unfortunately 'L' was a Lance not Les but say L. Behan quick enough and it's close enough.

Let's not be mistaken. Yes it is an awesome name but Fred-Dee is also an awesome player. I know, I go to the EP games. He was the WAFL Rising Star for the 2011 season, is a great kick, makes quick and accurate decisions, goes in hard, appears to be well liked by his peers and from some of the examples I have seen, too brave for his own well being.

If you don't want him in Demonland we will surely take him back with open arms at the Royals ... if he doesn't go elsewhere in the AFL ....

Lance was his brother who played for Fitzroy, the one we had was Brendan.

You are right......how could I have stuffed that up ...I knew and played with him (briefly)

Lance also played for Richmond.

Brendan's potential was highly touted when he first came to Melbourne but he struggled to get a senior game.

He became a star player with Port Melbourne in the mid 70s.

Off the field, he formed a partnership with Malcolm Speed in a legal practice. Speed was involved in basketball and later became famous in cricket administration.

So, is Clutterbuck fever coming to the MFC??

I don't think so.

Was he picked up anywhere?

Pity - the name alone would draw crowds ;-)

I reserve the right to irrationally hate Leigh Williams for taking Clutterbuck's spot.

Unless LW turns out to be good then I'll do the most ridiculous about face in history.

There could always be a compromise.

Williams could agree to change his name to Leigh Clutterbuck.

To make up for the lack of a silly first name I insist he becomes Leigh Von Clutterbuck, then we're square.
