Would it be difficult for the local BBC stations to have a dossier on each player to send to their opposition counterparts to add a bit of flavour?
Would only need include name and number, pronunciation, and a few titbits. E.g.:
Jorge Grant #10, pronounced George. One of City's best players who has appeared primarily out wide or in an attacking midfield spot this season but also often deputises in defensive midfield when Bridcutt is out. Recently signed a new contract when many expected him to leave for a Championship club come the end of the season. Top scorer, primarily through penalties although has missed some recently and did not take one in the shooutout with Sunderland, although probably would have taken fifth.
