Imagine if the Rockets' players had the same last name..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wednesday, 13 November, 2002, 14:35 GMT And Singh passes it to Singh... An amateur football team in Birmingham is proving to be every referee's nightmare - because all the players share the same name. Each member of The Sikh Hunter New Boys boasts the surname Singh - as do the side's joint managers. And while it presents a herculean task for local sports reporters, the common bond seems to be working wonders - with the side six points clear at the top of the Birmingham Amateur Football Alliance. Nick Singh, who co-manages the team with namesake Shangara, told the Independent newspaper: "We have to operate on a nickname basis on the field. "You can't go around shouting out surnames. "But at least it makes writing the team sheet easy - you just put down one name and then ditto the rest." Nick insisted it was not just the name factor that boosted team spirit. "There's a lot of commitment in our team," he explained. "Our goalkeeper comes from Sheffield for every match and another member comes from Leicester just to play. They are an excellent bunch of lads." And they're all Singh-ing from the same team-sheet.
