It just sounded funny when it was read out as the replacement player, your playing an Austrian side and probably expecting to hear 'number 19 Heinz Cziommer being replaced by number 27 Hanz Fritzelburger' or something but no it's Alan, not Alan Fritzelburger or Alain or Alaninho, just Alan. When 20000+ all look at each other and laugh at the same daft thing it snowballs (no pun intended).
