well I'm 'lucky' enough to share my name with some football hooligan from Derby - and here he is

Anyone else have such 'claims' to name sharing?

Also when a famous murder happens, what becomes of people who share their names? I mean Alex Kapranos had to change is surname as it was 'Huntley' but are there any innocent Fred Wests out there for example and how do they live?
