    Footballers known by their full names

    How is it some footballers are identified by their full names.

    Billy Gilmore , Danny Ings spring to mind and isn’t Isaak Davies always know by his full name

    Any others . It’s a topic that is doing the rounds on X

    Don't know about full names but the trend for commentators to call him 'Trent' all the time, albeit he has a long surname, was a trifling annoying..

    Wasn't that something to do with a stranger getting hold of andycole.co.uk or something? So all he could get was Andrew Cole, and so he wanted to be known as Andrew? Or is that utter bollocks?
