And Finally... Pub staff officially rename themselves Wayne Rooney for World Cup

Twenty-eight bar staff at a Crewe pub have all changed their name to Wayne Rooney by deed poll.

All the bar staff at the Woodside signed up for the scheme and will each wear 'Call me Rooney' T-shirts in honour of their adopted namesake - the England footballer who is getting ready to star in the World Cup in South Africa.

And three managers also got in on the act, renaming themselves Fabio Capello after the England team's Italian coach.

Among the name-changers was a man previously called Darren Fletcher, a name shared by one of Rooney's team-mates at club side Manchester United.

The month-long tournament kicks off tomorrow.
