He did. Came from Rotherham. Looked good when we got him and scored on debut at Yeovil. The rather faded.

Right, I'm cheating on Wikipedia:

(Kerry) Dixon Creek (Alabhama)
(Dave) Bentley Creek (New York)
Kongque River, China (Konque means (Dennis) "Peacock")
(Paul) Allen (Dorset)
(Jordan) Ball (Minnesota)
(Harry) Forrester (Game of Thrones)
(Jack) Lewis (Washington)
(Micky) Norbury Brook (Surrey)
(Adriano) Rigoglioso (Tuscany)
(Billy) Stubbs Creek (Nigeria)


Admittedly, I may have made one of those up.

I think Dutch River (just outside Goole) should do us another one soon.

Yes !

Nobody has Guy Fawkes River though and its main claim to fame is the number of Falls it does in just a short time !

There are Thompson and Fraser Rivers in America. Although I can't remember any players with those names off the top of my head, they're fairly common names so I wouldn't be surprised if they're additional to the ones we've got so far.
