i used to be sc_owl Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Saw something on social media, saying there are some players we only ever refer to by their full name. The example given was Billy Gilmour. Are there others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Don't think the fans really do it, but commentators seem to usually say "Barry Bannan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkskaphil Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 2 hours ago, Ellis Rimmer said: I've heard plenty of people refer to Parlour, Kane and Firmino Listen to commentators on matches where Kane is playing, and note how often they say his full name instead of just his surname, in comparison with most other players. It’s so rare that they just say his surname that it sticks out like a sore thumb (well, the audio equivalent) when they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
