I WONDER if Sheffield United got it wrong when they put Sun Jihai's name on the back of his shirt.
In China the surname always comes first (that's why Chairman Mao Tse Tung was known as Chairman Mao) so the name on the back of the number 12 Blades shirt should have been Sun, yet against Birmingham on Saturday it said Jihai. It's a bit like Wayne
Rooney having Wayne on the back of his shirt instead of Rooney.

Has Sun Jihai suddenly decided he wants to be known as Jihai or was it merely down to a cock-up by the club? The player always had Sun on his shirt when at Manchester City. Perhaps Sheffield United can enlighten us?
