Footballing Namesakes?

[Razi]

Do any NSC'ers share a name with a professional footballer? I love to keep an eye on Sky Sports during a matchday, and hearing that "David McNiven" has scored again for Leigh RMI and seeing the stat appear at the bottom to indicate that "McNiven" had netted once more. Currently 21 goals this season in the Conference, McNiven is right up there in the leading scorers table (that also regularly appears on SSN) - despite Leigh RMI being 2nd bottom.
