It might not be too long before people start hollering at actor Tom Cruise for having the same name as a footballer and not just for being the same height as Dennis Wise.[LNB]But until then Arsenal teenager Tom Cruise must bear the brunt of all Hollywood-related mockery - even though he finally made his Gunners debut in Greece last night two years after signing for the club.[LNB]The 18-year-old defender could not stop Olympiakos winning 1-0 in Group H but the newest Arsene Wenger kid on the block now wants to make a name for himself in his own right.[LNB] Not a patch on the real thing: Tom Cruise (right) adds to Arsenal's growing injury list while Tom Cruise (left) gazes at the Vanilla Sky[LNB]Cruise junior said: 'I have definitely had stick because of my name for years.
