Best was Lingaard actually. Not even a foreign player. Been at the club since he was 5.
Good shout. Surely the confusion there is because we also had Anders Lindegaard on our books at one point.

i think its a problem of the mobile device autocorrects. Christiano as an autocorrect came up for me back in the day. but all it needed was to add it as a word.

however I imagine its harder to do that with day to day names such as Antony. Then all your Anthonys become Antonys.

About 7 years ago I can remember hearing people talk about a match happening that day and genuinely thinking that Jesse Lingard was starting as our keeper

Not utd fans but still :lol:

Agreed. But I also believe there should be some kind of a special dispensation for misspelling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

It's one thing that people on a football forum can't figure it out but BBC SPORT are constantly referring to Joachim Andersen as Joachim Anderson. Does my head in.

Lewanderwhisky is one of my favorite ones I spotted on facebook many years ago, with calls for Wenger to buy him. Both equally laughable.

You're preaching to Maquire. :lol:

But yeah, seriously, what leads someone to randomly throw a Q in his name? It's mystifying.
It isn't that shocking. -qui is a reasonably frequently occurring group of letters in English: quit, quite, quiet, required, quiz, equity, equine... and so on.

McGuire/Macguire is my favourite. This is his 4th season and people still don't know how to spell it. His name is extremely simple to spell as well.
