The musical and footballing Gods combined yesterday in in Brazil to ensure we witnessed arguably the most unusual substitution of all-time.
While generally speaking the Brazilian Serie B wouldn’t have the greatest global following, Atletico Goianiense has propelled the league into the limelight thanks to a substitution between two players with very fetching names.
Imagine how John Lenon Silva Santos felt when he got the curly finger and was told to Beat It when replaced by Carlos Adriano de Souza Cruz, who goes by the nickname Michael Jackson, though to be fair to the manager, the decision may not have been as Black or White as it appeared.
We have no idea if it was a Bad game or a Thriller, but you have to just admire the names of the players involved. And these two have shown that when played together on the pitch they can be quite the combination, with Jackson setting up Lenon for a goal back in August.

Oh and Mahatma Gandhi also plays for the same team.
Forget Real Madrid, Bayern or Manchester City, the biggest names in the world are playing for Atletico Goianiense.
