A google search has proved fruitless, but I'm positive there was a player in an international tournament in the early 90's whose last name was F_cka, pronounced Fooch-kah. Name sounds Italian, but for some reason I think he might have been Czech/Russian. Anyone remember this guy, or better an the internets than I am?

Ville Niminnen
Janne Ninnimaa
Teppo Numminen
Jere Lehtinen
A dozen other Finns, but it'd be too reptetive to list 'em all.
