    I think Pete Gogolak was Hungarian and one of the first side winding soccer style kickers that I copied in the 1960s in high school......whew long answer.  I also thought he had a brother Charlie.

    So, I assume then that Hungary is your answer for Gogolak?  That would be a check.

    Again, I have to assume your answer, that it is S. Korea for Ward.  That would be a check.

    Why "damned" immigrants?

    Just by matching the name with the country:

    Janikowski gotta be Poland

    Tunch Ilkin  - gotta be Turkey. Peculiar sounding name in the same vein as Cenk Uygur...that  piece of shit liberal commentator who happens to be Turkish.

    Van Brocklin - Denmark

    Jan Stenerud -  Norway.

    Since "Jan" and "Van" are Scandinavian names, I could have Van Brocklin and Stenerud backwards.

    Frank Sinkwich - Croatia...."ich" is a Slavic name ending, and since Croatia is the only other Slavic country besides Poland on the list I'll go with that.

    Because I am just mocking that piece of shit Trump who hates immigrants.

    Just by matching the name with the country:

    Janikowski gotta be Poland

    Tunch Ilkin  - gotta be Turkey. Stupid sounding name reminds me of Cenk Uygur...that liberal piece of shit who is  Turkish.

    Jan Stenerud -  Norway.

    Janikowski,  Ilkin, Stenerud, Sinkwich correct.   

    And I never used the name Van Brocklin.  Not sure where you got that from., or you must have meant Steve Van Buren, not Norm Van Brocklin.    That is Not correct anyway. 

    (Besides...Van is not Scandinavian, it is Dutch or German for the most part).

    Really? You're not sure where I got that from? How about Van Buren.

    Van Buren - Denmark

    btw..you know that TDS is a real mental condition right? Its about time you seek some psychiatric attention.

     Did you  bother to read my post where I asked you if you were talking about Van Buren? Hello McFly is anybody. You are the one that couldn’t keep Van Buren and Van Brocklin  straight. It’s a wrong answer nevertheless

    Yes, there are quite a few Slavic countries. Gippers list had only two listed, so Sinkwich had to have been the Croat.

    A lot of ich names are also Slovak from Slovakia part of the old Czechoslovakia   not to be confused with Slovenia.

    This also is a good world geography and nationality test.

    Frankie Sinkwich was indeed a Croat and grew up in Youngstown Ohio.......he played football with my late Hungarian father-in-law at Youngstown Chaney before going to Georgia and winning the Heisman.
