Bit of trivia to lighten the mood 

Shortest... I'm guessing Lee Koo from 1977

Longest... any ideas?

No, I dont the answers   

Paul

[Bangor on Dee Robin]

Comley-Excell the longest ?    Hay (Alex) the shortest ?       

[York Alty]

Is Comley-Excells first name 'Nathan' or 'Nathaniel'?

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Non-hyphenated surnames with 12 letters:

Higginbotham (Paul);

Shuttleworth (Barry);

LeBoutillier (Brian).


I doubt that you can beat Lee Koo as the shortest full name.

The nearest I can get is seven letters:

Lee (Andy);

Thom (Lew).




 

[strong black coffee]

The longest name I can remember as used by the fans is;
Barry Crowe, Barry Barry Barry Crowe, Barry Barry Barry Crowe, Barry Barry Barry Crowe, Oh Barry Crowe etc.

I know. I'll fetch me coat.

What was the full name of the winger that had a very brief spell with us a few years back? His surname was something like Ajetuntombey. With his first name included he must be the longest named player.

Adewale Ajetunmobi.

He was woeful.

Shame Radio Robins wasn't running then because I'd envisage interesting pronunciations!

It's even more of a shame that Radio Robins wasn't in existence when we played the following two pre-season friendlies at Moss Lane:

Mazda (from Japan) in 1991;

Malawi National XI in 2002.

[Saughall Robin]

JR is the shortest I would have thought?

That Mazda game was my first game ever doing the Public Address at Alty..........July 26th 1991, perhaps the Cult would confirm.I nearly had a bowel movement when I saw the team sheet & some of the substitutions......of which there were many....... were hilarious. I just about managed to recover my composure to sign off in the style of "The Two Ronnies"....."It's goodnight from me....& it's sayonara from them!" (Anyone under 35, please ignore & humour me..........anyone over 35, please just humour me)!

[Robin Hood Robin]

Longest surname Mark Lloyd Williams.
Joint shortest name Lee Cox. Also might win the prize as the most obscure Alty player. One sub appearance at Worksop 12th Sept 98.

It has to be said.....that's a very good call!

[Amsterdam Alty]

this is the sort of thing that would be boring if you were an ac milan fan, kaka wins both of the accolades.

you know, what with his name actually being Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite... standard
