In the records of Chilean football they are listed as 'Jorge' and 'Eduardo', leading to the assumption that their names were anglicised after their arrival in Yorkshire. Not so, Walter [Robledo] says. They were indeed baptised in Chile, but by a Presbyterian minister who recorded their names as George Oliver Robledo and Edward Oliver Robledo.
