A Load of Squit 5,111 Posted August 2, 2020 Dear Sir, I note that in todays fixture Hamilton Academicals fielded a player called 'Hamilton'. I hope that prompts a rule change that says that each team must deploy a player with the same name as the team. Yours, Mr A Borussia-Monchengladbach. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 3, 2020 When I was playing for a local village team we had a player called Ivor Blewett. He won Player of the Year so you can imagine the inscription on the trophy when his christian name was initialised. Cornish names do lend themselves to humour. When I was married at Earlham Church the organist was Norwich City Council Chief Health Inspector, Mr J H Smellie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
