It’s not just Premier League officials that suffer from the odd case of footballing mistaken identity.

From Kieran Gibbs being mistaken for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by a ref, to this gaffe by Sky Sports which confuses former Manchester United striker Andy Cole for Arsenal legend, Ian Wright – definitely two different people.
