I have it on very good authority that when Inglis first went to talk with Souths and brought his parents, his parents were the one sitting at the table with his manager and doing all the negotiating, while Greg sat in the corner playing with his Tonka trucks and his model speedboat.
When it came time to sign, they got a crayon for Inglis to sign with. He got the 'e' in Greg back to front, then when it got to his last name he scribbled the whole lot out and just scrawled 'BIG GAME PLAY FOR SOUFFS!' below the dotted line, all in capitals, with a drawing of a stick figure holding a football.
I bet Joey Johns or the rest of the Newcastle squad would never get the 'e' around the wrong way. Pretty hard to do when it is imprinted on your brain.
