    On the Guly thing, are Brazilian's born with a nickname, or do literally all Brazilian kids get one at school, or is it just footballers as some sort of initiation?

    Guly is different to most Brazilian nicknames because it's a shortened version of Guilherme, whereas Pele isn't any part of Pele's real name, Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

    This gives a good explanation:

    A teacher at my old school had a mental break down and set fire to one of the school cabins.

    Neither is the other Pele (the play off penalty conceding one). In fact I am fairly sure he was only called Pele because his mates thought he was really good at football?? Btw he got relegated last season...from the Conference National. If anyone wants to check him out, Eastleigh v Hayes and Yeading is the 29th September.

    Snap (at least that was the rumour anyway). He was a HUGE man as well. Had to turn sideways to fit through doors.

    Looks like our scouts did a fine job on that one. How he got signed for West Brom after us, I still can't work out.

    She had it removed when everyone found out. :( She also took a rather long leave of absence.

    I don't think that's actually valid grounds to sack a person. Or maybe it's because it's just so difficult to find decent teachers nowadays.
