Fulham's Kamara: Don't call me Dio

Fulham striker Diomansy Kamara is eager to drop his nickname.

The striker, who is set to be recalled to the starting line-up against Portsmouth tomorrow, could be the answer to the Cottagers prayers.

But don't call him Dio - it translates to God in Italian and Kamara does not feel worthy.

He said: "People want to call me Dio by shortening my name. But I began my career with Modena in Italy and I know that Dio means God in Italian - so I say people have to call me Joe instead!

"I am not God, but maybe one day I will be to Fulham fans."
