Collecting sports trading cards was an innocent enough hobby, but occasionally you'd come across a name that you and your friends would furtively snigger over.

Here are 10 sports trading cards you wouldn't want your mother to see.

Despite being so ashamed of his LaCock heritage that he changed his name, Marshall rather strangely decided to name also his own son 'Ralph Pierre LaCock'.

LaCock Jnr, changed his first name to 'Pete', but thankfully saw the potential of his brilliant surname.
