[edit] Name?

I've changed the article to say "Aiyegbeni Yakubu", to match the article title, but there do seem to be a lot of sources calling him "Yakubu Aiyegbeni". Is this just a common mistake, or is it some sort of Nigerian name formation thing, similar to some Asian names? (e.g. Park Ji-Sung is sometimes known as "Ji-Sung Park", rightly or wrongly). — sjorford (talk) 12:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

The article name is a mistake. Yakubu is the family name but the correct order is Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

[edit] DCFC

I realise it isn't a massive deal, but wasn't he set to make his debut in English football with Derby County? Then an issue with the Foreign Office arose over a work permit issue, and the deal fell through, only for understandably aggrevated Derby fans to see him turn out for Portsmouth a few short months later. Worth of a mention in the article?

[edit] Aiyegbini Yakubu

Aiyegbeni Yakubu is the way it is on Middlesborough's site, that must be it --- Theworm2345 02:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)Theworm2345 02:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theworm2345 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
