Stuliasz Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 Don't think this has been posted on here yet. Seen this on a few news sites now, half hoping its true for the comedy value, half hoping its not because its sad to see a club have to sell itself out in this way. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rlsd01 Funniest bit has to be Elvis Hammond being renamed to Pele!
SystonFox Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 Agree with the article. Football is dying a horrible death when shit like this happens
Guest MattP Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 This is very strange, surely players haven't actually agreed to change their names by deed poll?
RobHawk Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 If you guys think a small-lower league club in administration doing whatever they can to survive is the death of football you need to get real! Football as it used to be died a long time ago, the fact that lower league clubs are going out of business is a travesty. A publicity stunt to attract sponsorship? - Fair game i say!

This, its a business and businesses exist to make money, its hardly the death of football when theres never been so much money in the sport.
Stadt Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 I find that someone wanted to be John Terry very strange and I presume he's black as well which makes a bit stranger.

Jordan Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 Say what you will about selling out, but this is actually quite funny and a much better Paddy Power publicity stunt than having players show off PP-branded undergarments after scoring goals.
SystonFox Posted 13 August 2013 Posted 13 August 2013 It's killing football cos yet more big companies ruling the game. No matter the level this corporate big wigs should fvck off. Bring back FOX LEISURE!

aussie-fox Posted 16 August 2013 Posted 16 August 2013 The Aussie rules team I support (Geelong) did this on the 90s one of our players changed his name to a cat good brand to raise money for the club. He was known officially as "whiskas" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/410088.stm
