Only a small handful of players have represented this 3 letters, infact, only one has had a surname beginning in I. Also included is a man with a Kevin Keegan perm, some of the most unusual surnames you'll ever see and of course, where would we be without those loveable one appearance wonders.

Ipoua, Guy – A loanee who joined the Imps from Doncaster Rovers in the 2004/5 season. He was prolific for Scunthorpe but the same can defiantly not be said during his time at the Imps where, in 6 appearances, he failed to score.
