Thanks. Have added those (apart from two).

Any more?

Due to not wanting to put undue pressure on the server the minimum characters of any search term is 3 (so JT and other 2 letter words on the forum aren't indexed for the search facility).

First there was Krancjar.. then came Krancjaer, followed by Krankjar and Krankjaer.. and these days it seems to be Kranjcar (BBC & Spurs websites)..

..but..

I have it on authority that the correct spelling is the first one.. but what the hell do I know? Google just throws up more possibilities...

..and then there's the Nico/Niko confusion too..

There's a manager who also goes by that nickname, for a slightly different reason...

By the way, the actual spelling of Cazorla on the list is wrong, though the correct one is listed as a nickname! And Papiss Cisse doesn't seem to be on the player list at all.

Wolf and Mapou, but the issue of 3 more keystrokes will sway judgement.

Dr Med or straight forward Doc. The new signing for Cardiff. Gary Medel.

Any player who goes near him should see the Doctor afterwards. He's tough and sees red. :wink:
