A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption.
One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal."
The other goes to a family in Spain; and is named "Juan."
Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tearfully tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal.
Her husband responds, "But they are twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."

Funny but wrong. Let me assure you as the father of genetically identical twins. Parents can always tell the difference between their twins. Well we have always been able to. Plus we never dressed them the same

I'd stay away from the French we have not had anyone of any real quality over the years.

Always liked Armand Gnanduillet when he was here (I know he's Ivorian but pretty sure he could have chosen French nationality). Get him back as a back up on the bench???

Love this thread me.

Angers to be precise, both his parents were Cote d'Ivoirian.

Always liked him and was disappointed when Cook left him out of our Wembley JPT game in favour of Mason Bennet, and when he was released.

Seemed to be massively under appreciated by town fans then went on to have a really good career

That's reassuring.
This is where I went wrong. Google 1.78m = 5.84ft.
.84 being .84 of a foot, not .84 inches.

He's described in one Google excerpt as 'diminutive' but I do actually find that very reassuring 'cos he must be a bludddy good footballer if he's a defensive midfielder.

How tall do you need to be to play in a team that plays football on the floor?

I've seen him play for Mansfield and Walsall and always thought he looked good on the ball and put a shift in
