“Teenage Mutant Ninja Skrtels” – the Squawka footballer/film Twitter hashtag is puntastic

Let the pun fun begin...

The football fanatic folk over at Squawka have today, in honour of the 86th Academy Awards, put out a call for the best film title puns involving famous footballer's names and, here at JOE, we're delighted that they did because people have come up with some absolute doozies. Below is a selection of our favourite film/footballer titles using the hashtag #FootballFilms and you can check out all of the new ones as they come in by following the Squawka Twitter account here.

Right, with everybody still talking about the Oscars, let's have a little fun. Send us your best puns using the #FootballFilms hashtag. — Squawka Football (@Squawka) March 3, 2014
