Joe Kinnear's repeated mispronunciation of names has already caused widespread embarrassment throughout Newcastle.
That Papiss Cisse's new football boots have come with the name 'Sisse' wrongly embossed on them will only increase that embarrassment, even if this time it is Nike who's responsible.
Newcastle team-mate Sammy Ameobi, apparently amused by the incident, uploaded the picture of Cisse's questionable boots onto Twitter and commented: 'Well, that's awkward'.
Who? Papiss Cisse's Nike boots have wrongly come with 'Sisse' on them, instead of his actual surname
Cisse's pre-season has already been mired in controversy. The striker had rowed with Newcastle after refusing to wear kit from the club's new sponsor, Wonga.
He insisted it compromised his Muslim religious beliefs and even missed a training camp in Portugal while fighting his corner.
And, in addition to his name being mispelt on his ?160 football boots, Newcastle's new director of football Kinnear mispronounced his name as 'Sissy' during an earlier high-profile interview.
