Note via Blog reader Elflaco: “Probably worth noting that if there are 2 players with the same second name in the league you need to give their first name too.
It’s easier when you’re not trying to back Alex Catchanicklitch too. After 16 attempts at his name I eventually gave up and just backed Joe Hart.”
It keeps saying message could not be sent when I try this free first goal scorer thing.
Hi Steven – somebody from Customer Support will be in touch asap.

Thank you for those wise words, Elflaco. And good luck with Joe Hart. #strangerthingshavehappened

Tried at 1234, won’t have it. Will re-send now using the new number, cheers.

Hi Andrew – can you email socialmediasupport@paddypower.com and they’ll answer your query.
