JOE HART suffered fresh humiliation after being listed as 'John Hart' for his Torino debut.
The on-loan Manchester City goalkeeper probably thought it couldn't get any worse after watching his £17million Citizens replacement Claudio Bravo making a string of howlers in the Manchester derby.
But they did, as the City goalkeeper was renamed on the official Serie A team sheet for the clash at Atalanta.
However, in fairness to whoever compiled the list of players, Hart's full name is Charles John Joe Hart - so they had a one-in-three chance of getting it right!

Bravo was at fault for the goal City conceded to United in their 2-1 win, colliding with John Stones and dropping a cross that allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to fire in.
A string of other mistakes followed, but Pep Guardiola amazingly claimed it was one of the finest displays he had seen.
The City boss said: “What Claudio did today was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen.
“We had the situation for the goal, I like the keepers to play in front and he’s a good goalkeeper.
“But after long balls he came to pick them up.
“So that means a lot to me – the personality because at the end football is how you react to mistakes.
“It was unlucky the situation because Stones was there and that sometimes happens.
“It was more brilliant the reaction from Ibrahimovic than the situation from Claudio.
“When you play good in the first half it’s for that reason. You build up and after we cannot fight too many duels. It’s for the right to travel with the ball and we did that in the first half.”
