... have owned up to this? Blackpool manager Ian Holloway admits he subbed Stephen Crainey by accident in the 2-1 win against Wolves on Saturday, having wanted to replace Luke Varney with David Carney. "We got it mixed up," he said. "Varney, Carney, Crainey is a tongue-twister."

No question we love him, and he's so straight, it hurts. However, and only in private amongst friends What if he'd said Charlie instead of Crainey? I know he is passionate and wound up, but he needs to take a deep breath, count to 10, then write down what he wants We are not at home to Mr Cockup

Seem to remember the late great Bobby Robson had a similar problem with players names. Never admitted it though

He did indeed......
"Hello, Bobby," he once greeted his England captain, Bryan Robson. "I'm Bryan," the skipper replied. "You're Bobby." What, the young Newcastle forward Shola Ameobi was asked by a journalist, did his teammates call him? "Shola," he replied. And how, the disappointed but still hopeful interlocutor asked, did his manager address him? "He calls me Carl Cort."

I vaguely remember a manager calling a player "amnesia" or something very similar - was that Sir Bobby and Ameobi as well?
YL.
