Ian Thomas-Moore (Tranmere) Information
Ian Moore re-joined Tranmere from Hartlepool in the January 08 transfer window and became an immediate success, scoring the second goal in a 2-0 win away at Leeds United.

This could be the first of many name changes within the profession of professional footballers who may now be tempted to change their name to mask a barren run of form. A Brazilian equivalent is sure to be top of the new name list in a bid to gain that big move up the leagues!!!
