Saw this in a story about PSV Eindhoven. He's a player for them--and yes, he *is* named after our Ki-Jana!

Ki-Jana Hoever
- Thread starter kgilbert78
- Start date
Kind of interesting, in that:
1. his father, Ivan Hoever, played football in the US
2. his full name is Ki-Jana Delano Hoever
3. with our Ki-Jana, the "name" was actually a nickname. Ki-Jana's actual name was Kenneth Leonard Carter. Supposedly, he got the nickname from the character Ki-Jana in the movie "Shaft in Africa."

My name is Kenneth and Ki-Jana is my favorite. He was my earliest PSU memory as a kid. The 1994 team. Its been quite the amazing ride every since!
Thanks for that post, but.....damn you make me feel old
