    Why, when Ronaldo scores, his full name shows up as Cristiano Ronaldo on the scorers list, but Nemanja Vidic only shows up as Vidic?

    Is he that special?

    Yes he's the best player in the World and you would love it if he played for us.

    I know!

    It's because his full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, so if his surname was to be displayed it would be 'Averio'.

    Anymore useless **** you'd like to know Smales?

    Is that right?

    So why doesn't it say Cristiano Ronaldo on his back instead of just Ronaldo?

    And have you been using Wikipedia?

    No, I knew his full name off by heart.

    According to my sources at the Old Trafford kit printing department, it's because he's an awkward Barsteward.

    Here to help.

    Your sources?

    Name them. It's not valid unless you name a name that no one else would even know anyway.

    Or is he related to that helicopter pilot?
