3 x Marcus

[AcklamAngel]

Yesterday’s team included three players with same Christian name, Marcus - Bettinelli, Browne and Tavernier. Anybody have any idea when Middlesbrough last had a team with three players with the same Christian name?

 

[BernieisGod]

We had a few Gary's at one point. Parkinson, Gill and Hamilton.

I hear the name is virtually extinct these days tho.

 

[Harry Basset]

Did Parkinson, Pallister and Hamilton play at the same time?

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

There was a time when you needed to be called Steve to get in the backroom team.
Gibson, McLaren, Round, Harrison.

 

[chickenrunner]

We'd have had 4 Garys playing together under Sir Bruce.

Dozens of times over three seasons or so I'd have said

 

[coluka]

I seem to remember that the guy next to me during that infamous fa cup home defeat to Cardiff in 2008 identified that all our defence had the same first name.

There was - Bluddy Schwarzer, Bluddy Huth, Bluddy Wheater, Bluddy Pogatetz, Bluddy Young, there was even a midfielder too, Bluddy O’Neil

Not forgetting Marc Bola

Yeah, I think they probably did. Good call!

 

[Rofesleg]

I suppose Dave, Gary & Mark are common names and not too surprising.
Marcus though? A bit left field that one.

 

[Michael_Vronsky]

Common names then. How many kids are called Dave or Steve now? You're more likely to be called Marcus or Jordan than Colin or John on the pitch today.

We used to call them all the same name last season

 

[Mr_Fridge]

17 Garys!

 

[junos_boots]

Yeah, I think they probably did. Good call!

Brennan never played after Liverpool 0-4 in premier league so will not have played with Barham who made his debut after this (same day as Proctors 2nd debut v Wimbledon(?))
