Clubs don't like to release names of their triallists in case they get snapped up so, Conference North side Hyde decided to name them all after historical left-wing revolutionaries.

Hyde copied Blackpool of last week by naming a team full to the brim of unknown triallists, but unlike the Tangerines, they found a brilliant solution around not naming the players.

Rather than naming them "Triallist", they were given the names of famous left-wing political figures.

Can't tweet trialists real names today, so they shall all be named after left-wing revolutionaries. #DasKapital

Hyde subs: Day, Friedrich Engels, Mahatma Ghandi, Andreas Baader, Che Guevara, Aneurin Bevan, Tony Blair...

While that's worth a chuckle, it pales in comparison to the live tweeting that went on for the club's friendly with Altrincham.

Sub: Mahatma Ghandi on for Hyde. Have to question his decision to play in flip flops.

Tony Benn looking dangerous for Hyde. Some might even say the most dangerous man in Britain...

Fidel Castro is dictating play today. 1-0 to Hyde, 60mins gone.

Tony Blair keeps drifting out to the right wing. To be expected I suppose.

Tony Blair clearly unhappy with some managerial decisions. Really hoping he doesn't try an initiate a regime change...
