Does anyone have any others, Toompus maybe? Let's show them the respect by getting their names spelt properly.

I think I have seen just about every MFC player's name butchered at least once since I've been a member of Demonland.

Some common ones over the last few years:

Dunne

Silvia

Bertram

Bates

Davies

Maloney

Doors...

Ah ha, have we cottoned on to Neeld's recruiting methods here? He is trying to get rid of players with "difficult for some" surnames, and replace them with short surnames, for the benefit of some supporters. Look at the list of "outs" above - there is a trend here...

I'm not looking forward to the first person who gets Kent incorrect, and I also thank Christ we haven't drafted a "Smith".

I opened this thread actually ready to type: 'IT'S CLARK'.

Clearly, no need.

I'm just waiting for a handball chain of Kent, Clark, Kent...then to Frawley for good measure.

Not MFC obviously but one of the best I saw was Danyle Pearce morphed into Darryl Pierce.

Ahhhh......now I know why Marc Kneeled and that guy who wore #22 fell out.

And had we drafted a Smith, he would no doubt get Smyth or Smythe.

That will always happen, libby :-)

rpfc always said "Batram". Baffled me as the guy can clearly spell, made me wonder if it was a joke I'd missed?

I've noticed Shannon Byrnes spelled has Brynes quite a lot. Could be because the 'r' and 'y' are only one key apart.

Garry Lyon's first name always seems to misspelt by a few. He's only been around the Club for 25 years and people still refer to him as 'Gary'.

Honest mistakes, are just that. Lets not be picky, there's a good place to improve.

Say No to attacking one another, or putting down one another, on a personal level.

If you want to attack on a professional basis re ones occupation, go ahead.

Sorry DC, probably a little pedantic. Just shits me I guess.

just having a little fun

actually i could never work out if it was Geddy or Gaddy

Cam Pedersen is the majority of the time spelt incorrectly as Cam Pederson, fair enough weird spelling.

And what is wrong with a little pedantacism?

I reckon the best of all time would have to be Adem Yze. I'm not sure how you spell his real name, but people always threw these letters out there hoping to get it right one day.

Strongly disagree. Ridiculous suggestion. Clearly he got rid of players because of their non-traditional first names, such as Cale and Jared.

Not if you're from Scandinavia.

You've got it all wrong. It was Ooze.
