Give us an 'N'

That's what you'd be shouting if I was playing football and you and the other fans were encouraging me with chants:

Give us an 'N'
Give us an 'I'
Give us a 'G'
Give us an 'E'
Give us an 'L'

And so on until you had spelt out my surname too.

Imagine yourself a fan of Sutton United, whose striker is...

Isaac Tanitoluwaloba Aduraoluwatimileyin Olaofe. Don't worry, there are 90 minutes in a football match so you've got time.

Isaac is actually a Millwall player, on loan at suburban Sutton. He scored a hat trick in November.

Sutton are currently top of the National League, with a decent chance of getting promoted to the Football League come the end of the season. At the other end of the National League table there is...

Dover Athletic - played 0, won 0, drawn 0, lost 0; goals for 0, goals against 0. How come?

Sadly, the lockdown measures - no fans in stadiums - have ruined the finances of many small clubs and Dover decided that the cost of playing home matches, set against the total lack of match day income, was simply not sustainable. So they decided to not play any matches, effectively defaulting.

It's very sad so...

Give us a 'D'
Give us an 'O'
Give us a 'V'
Give us an 'E'
Give us an 'R'

Let's hear it!
