Yes,.although amusingly didnt he join LFC after we started joking about Ahmed. There is something about destiny with that name.
Tbf, it's not all that rare a name worldwide. If we'd invented a Schnozzgarbler or something and then a Shane Schnozzgarbler rocked up at the academy I'd be impressed.
But in Liverpool's 100+ year existence we never had an Ahmed. We start talking about Ahmed and within months we get an Ahmed and not only that but he scores on his debut for the U18s. Tell me there isn't some divine providence from the football gods there?
There is an American Football coach in Missouri named Shawn Scnabel. Shawn is a variant of the name Shane, both derivatives of Sean. Schnabel is German for beak. Schnozzgarbler literally meaning a confused nose, which is what a beak is. I'm getting Shawn Schnabel's contact information so I can try to convince him to join Liverpool.
