The Manchester Evening News shared one of those `it seemed like a good idea at the time' yarns with us last week, in an interview with Altrincham resident (and Manchester United fan) Jeanette Doyle. When Jeanette's son was born three years ago she decided to name him after her favourite footballer, but she's beginning to wonder if it was such a good idea.

Schmeichel Doyle.
