Paddy Power up to their old tricks at Farnborough.

"The players of the Skrill Conference South side have all changed their names by Deed Poll to those of the greatest footballers to have graced a football pitch. From Gordon Banks in goal to Zinedine Zidane, Pele, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona outfield. Of course John Terry has gotten in on the action just in case they win something. Even team manager Spencer Day is getting in on the fun and will now stalk the sidelines under his new moniker, José Mourinho."

Probably won't get the clearance but job done for Paddy Power.

I actually feel sick at the thought of it. **** Paddy Power.

I think it's bloody brilliant.

Where else will I get to see Zidane, Pele, Maradonna and Messi on the same team?

It's a bit of fun. They changed the ground name to paddy power park and the names are probably just a novelty that will stop after a game or two. Their social media will be funny for a while. More importantly, their money has saved a club on the brink. Good all round
