Whats in a Name?

Graeme Smith, what a loser. Namesakes, first and last names, played between the sticks at opposite ends of the park in a recent Scottish Premier League Football clash (at Rugby Park ironically). Needless to say Smith couldn't win no matter the scoreline. Better handling could resolve that in the future maybe. Canada and England faced each other in a recent game although neither is good enough to make their respective national teams. Scotland plays for Trinidad and Tobago as far as I know and Wales plays in England and Scotland. I watched an FA Cup tussle between the outrun Athletics from Charlton who lost to Forrest from the First Division, England's third flight. The two Holts seemed to make the difference but only Garry not Grant had the "G." on his back, why? Over Xmas there were some real crackers (funny hats too). Edgar the Geordie made a name for himself depriving league leaders Man U. of two points with a late goal in only his second appearance in the first team. Can't be a bad lad since he is a Canuck from Kitchener, Ontario, once known as Berlin until the Second World War came along.
