According to dictionary.com a pun is defined as the humorous use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning.
Generations of football fans have loved a good pun, and in fact many terrific terrace chants and songs are derived from them.
Whether or not you think the following five are any good though, I'll leave up to you:
Miguel Pérez Cuesta (Michu) - Swansea City & Spain
"Pleased to Michu! Hope you guess my name!" - Sung to the tune of Pleased to Meet You by The Rolling Stones
Manuel Neuer - Bayern Munich & Germany
"Neuer gonna give you up! Neuer gonna let you down!" - To the tune of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
Salomon Kalou - Hertha Berlin & Nigeria
"You haven't got a Kalou"
Miralem Pjanić - Roma & Bosnia
"Pjanić on the streets of London! Pjanić on the streets of Birmingham!" - Sung to the tune of Panic by The Smiths
Leighton Baines - Everton & England
"Baines on toast"
