He goes by the names Andy Mandjoba (which I think was on the teamsheet) and Andy Kanga. I'm not sure on what the official line is, but he seems to interchange between each surname everywhere he goes!
Either way, can't recall him having a bad game for us which is impressive considering the way the season has been going, until now!

I agree, think we could have a bit of a gem here, definitely deserves more gametime than he's been getting.BartonRaz wrote: βWed Jan 04, 2023 1:34 pmHe goes by the names Andy Mandjoba (which I think was on the teamsheet) and Andy Kanga.

As one of those former announcers I love Bruce's way. It brings something different to the job. Yes it can be a bit jarring at times but boy it is so positive. Keep at it Bruce we love you.Olly wrote: βTue Jan 03, 2023 6:13 pmYeah, got to agree, nothing against our other PA announcers, but Bruce is so unique and entertaining, yes the way he announces subs might be a bit cringey, but if anything having him on the mic adds something to our match day experience, something that has lacked at HR I feel, you certainly don't forget him!Ricky330 wrote: βTue Jan 03, 2023 5:39 pmBruce is quite literally an absolute Diamond .

No, please don't tell him! Quite enjoyed something a bit different, but I did have to think about what sport we were watching. 'Don't forget to get your snacks ' at half-time was good as well!

For me, personally, I think Bruce is fantastic.sussexdiamond wrote: βWed Jan 04, 2023 9:21 pmAs one of those former announcers I love Bruce's way. It brings something different to the job.

He's loyal beyond reason to the club, he's completely unique, he's a bloody lovely bloke, and for all the player "In's" and "Out's" I thought he handled the testament to Cody on Monday impeccably.
Undoubtedly, at times he can be a bit of a plonker, but he's OUR plonker and I for one bloody love him!!!
Never change Bruce, you are an absolute diamond

If I remember correctly, Southern League rules state that players must be registered under the name on their birth certificate. Iβm sure Stacey verified this when the question was asked previously.BartonRaz wrote: βWed Jan 04, 2023 1:34 pmHe goes by the names Andy Mandjoba (which I think was on the teamsheet) and Andy Kanga.

This season, clubs at Steps 3 & 4 have been using the same
Registration system used by the EFL and PL. Players must be registered using the name that is shown on their ID (passport/driving licence etc). This then transfers onto the teamsheet which is automatically generated from the registration system - very irritating for players like Andy and Eniola who arenβt generally known by their real name but thereβs no way around it at the moment. As youβd expect, Iβve raised it as an issue with the SL to take to The FA for consideration.
