    I reckon we can forgive the occasional O'Keefe, as its probably not the conventional spelling of his name.

    Keith O'More which was once seen on twitter was much less forgivable.

    The best misspelling I've ever seen of a Barnsley player was when I worked in a bookies. A chap came in before a Barnsley game and wanted to back Bastelle to score first. I asked who he played for, and he told me. It was the team Barnsley were against that day. I said I'd never heard of him and asked if he could spell it out. B.A.S.T.E.L.L.E I think. I looked on the system, and gave a quick Google, and I still couldn't find him. He then told me he'd joined from Barnsley in the January window, at which point I cottoned onto who he was on about. Would anyone like to hazard a guess before I give the answer? I've purposely left out the name of the club he signed for as it'd give it away.

    If it was a Barnsley player the nearest I can think of is Vaz Te

    Really not sure I understand this thread? Of all the players/coaches who have been misspelled/mispronounced this isn’t one .

    Yep, Ricardo Vaz Te. Shortly after he'd signed for West Ham.

    I think we could make a full team of mysteriously but commonly misspelled players from the last decade. Hassel, Hamill, Steel, Stendle...

    I can see a chant being being created for him to the tune of Tammy Wynette's D-I-V-O-R-C-E o_O

    His name is O'Keeffe
    He is absolutely mint
    His crossing is great

    A little haiku to our full back.

    His name is O'Keeffe
    I had a dream about him
    He is the chief
    But he's been replaced by Cotter
    Oh, how he rocks
    In red and white socks
    But he doesn't know who I am
    And he doesn't give a damn about me

    'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
    Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby
    Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
