He had been patiently fielding questions from dozens of journalists who knew next to nothing about him, so no wonder the FA Cup's newest hero, Leyton Orient striker Jonathan Tehoue, was not in the least bit surprised when he was told that Arsene Wenger hadn't heard of him either - well not before his last-gasp equaliser against the Gunners anyway.

There cannot be many French footballers that Wenger's famed encyclopedic knowledge of the game does not cover but, to be fair to the Arsenal boss, Tehoue's own manager at Orient, Russell Slade, was not completely clued up on the 26-year-old striker either.
