Mathias Jørgensen Forum

Mathias Zanka and Mathias Jørgensen are the same person. Zanka is his nickname (after his supposed looking like a character in Cool Runnings). 

Jørgensen is his given proper name. Additionally the name spelling in the 159454 needs to be corrected. There is no umlaut in the Danish language, his name should be spelled Jørgensen.

Corrected and IR to Admin to remove umlaut; Jørgensen already in alias

So any "Mathais Zanka" cards are UERs.

No they are not UER's. Zanka is his nickname, he is pretty much universally known by that (Jørgensen is the equivalent of Smith in Denmark), but it's not his given name.

Mathias Jorgensen, Zanka, or even Zanka Jorgensen would be correct.
But "Mathias Zanka" is not his name.

It's basically the same as the masses of Brazilian soccer players who go by and commonly use a nickname.

His given, legal name is Jørgensen, Zanka (including just Zanka in case there are any cards with just that on it and Mathias Zanka) should be an alias. I lived in Denmark and am a supporter of the team he played for there, I've never heard him called 'Zanka Jørgensen'. He typically just goes by 'Zanka', but the card companies tend to print Mathias Zanka on the cards.

Plenty of examples of this player listed as solely Mathias Zanka in non-card media including his own social media. 100% not UERs.
