There’s certain players that commentators seem to have to use first and surname, rarely just one.
First one…
“Cole Palmer’ never just Palmer

Even more obviously,(and annoyingly) always 'HARRY" Kane.

Mason Mount. Perhaps they’re concerned we might mix him up with Peggy. One for the youngsters there.

Pisses me off that Shearer, Lineker Murphy and others always call Alexander-Arnold “Trent”.

I watch a lot of Spanish language commentary and Telemundo had a commentator who covered the US team and used “Geoffrey eScott Cameron”

All the Thiagos seem to get full-name treatment for some reason. Silva, Motta, Alcantara…

It’s Bernardo Silva, it’s Phil Foden, it’s Kevin de Bruyne, it’s ERLING HAALAND! Not sure who the commentator is, the main one on Sky.

My dad once asked me what Petr Cech's first name was. When I answered, his response was "What, Petr Petercech?"
Then the focus shifted to his nationality...

Watching MOTD with my dad in the early 2000s, the commentator mentions Frank Lampard - my dad, incredulously: "is Frank Lampard STILL PLAYING for West Ham??" |

Slightly off topic but the pedophile Edwards is nearly always referred to as Huw in the media. Were Jimmy (Savile), Rolf (Harris), Gary (Glitter), Ian (Watkins), Stuart (Hall), Max (Clifford) etc etc ever referred to by just their first names after conviction? It’s very strange.
