I always wonder why supporters would have an issue with a long haired male player be it own club , opposition or rival team


It's a story as old as time. Anything physical that marks you out as different can be seized-upon by tribes.

But giving a male player a female name as a nickname, is ok?

Wasn't John Wayne's real name Marilyn?

What was the deal with Henri Lansbury being nick named after an actress
It's different rules apply?


Because a) Lansbury is not a common name, and she's the only other famous person with that name most people can think of; b) he (Lansbury) was a mediocre and sometimes poor player so a silly/mildly insulting nickname is more appropriate than using it for a kid who has just come through our youth system; c) His surname is MUnroe, not MOnroe.

Is that enough explanation for you?
