**Contrary to popular belief, Mrs Lukic is NOT the mother of John Lukic, who played in goal for Arsenal and Leeds**
**I have been told that Mrs Miklos is in fact Mrs Bela. In that part of the world it is common to place surnames first. The English equivalent of Miklos is Michael - Bela being the couples surname. It is actually a Magyar langauge name - a legacy of the old Hungarian empire in many parts of the Balkans. While technically Bela Miklos, for her husband, is the correct form to use in that part of the world, Mrs Miklos should be called Mrs Bela.
