The two most obvious candidates for ambiguous ones are Silva (Jo and Anderson) and Gomes (Andre and Beto).

Threw Silva out earlier and no thumbs up so maybe Gomes?

It’s kind of a miracle there’s only been one Johnson to play for the club in the PL era.

Still for the best that we never signed Michael from City.

Edit: Yes, I am an idiot for not reading the previous page in its entirety.

The ambiguous debateable one is dependent on how you perceive their names....

Thought I had another until I remembered Lindstrom and Lundstrum aren't the same name!

Correct. In China the surnames are given before the given names.

So they both share the surname "Li"
