Edson Arentes Do Nascimento Pelé "O Rei do futbol" (the king of football) "Perora negra" (the black pearl) : the king Pelé Pelé Pelé Pelé ! ! ! (just if the nicknames count)
But for me the longuest I have found is the one known as "Socrates" who used to play for Brazil in the early eighties :
Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira (48 letters)
Houshmanzadeh only has 13 letters in the name
Roethlisberger has 14 letters giving Ben the longest surname
It could be Blaszczykowski who played for NT of Poland. Another one, Rabesandratana ex PSG defender
I know of a player called Reza Ghoochannejhad. Maybe that'd help
I think wright Phillips because he has 14 alphabets on his surname.
