Don’t really know what got me thinking of this but, names of players that could be both used as Christian names.
Tim Ryan
Reece James
Danny Amos
Danny Andrew

What’s strange is they were/are all left backs for us.
Gareth Roberts would be there if he didn’t have s on the end of Roberts

Gareth Roberts would be OK if there were two of them. 😉

I wrote an article some years ago on this theme, inspired by Swansea actually having a full team of players with Christian names as surnnames (players like Robbie and Leighton James, Alan Curtis, Jeremy Charles, Tommy Craig, David Giles, Dai Lewis, Gary Stanley, DAvid Stewart and more)

My all time Rovers such team was (allowing for slight mispellings/plurals) :

Harry Gregg
Brian Kelly, Graeme Lee, Lee Warren, Tim Ryan
Fabien Robert, Gareth Owen, Bobby Herbert, Jamie Lawrence
Alick Jeffrey, Brian Deane

Subs from (among others):
Stuart Nelson, Wayne Thomas, Len Graham, Billy Russell, Ian Clark, Stuart Elliott, Paul Todd, David Bradley, Clarrie Jordan, Adie Mike,
Lewis Guy, Bobby Owen, Terry Austin, Archie Irvine, Jack Lewis, Chris Giles, Tommy Gaynor, Danny George, Paddy Gavin

and the double bonus.......Jay Emmanuel-Thomas

Dutch, you forgot Mike Jeffrey.
Not like you.
Surely he would at least get on the bench.
Although a Jeffery/Jeffrey forward line would be interesting.
I once spoke to Alick many years ago and he rated Mike Jeffrey very highly.

Great team Dutch. Apologies for starting a post you did a while back. Not been on here a long time. Just thought it was a bit of fun, to take away the negativity on the forum
