It's quite common for parents to give their newborn children middle names, however, one football crazy mum went the extra mile when choosing middle names for her son.
So much so, she named her now-adult son after the 1988/1989 Arsenal First Division winning team, which consists of a staggering 16 names. Take a look:
In a clip which gone viral on TikTok, the man said when being interviewed by Viaplay: "I am legit named after the entire Arsenal football team of 1989."
"My full name is Kevin George Graham John Lee Nigel Michael Stephan Tony David Paul Alan Brian Martin Perry Smither."

The mum was alongside the man in the video and evidentially seemed to still be impressed with her decision to homage that Arsenal title winning squad.
Viewers of the clip have been giving their opinion in the comments to this football crazy woman naming her child after an entire side.
One comment said: "I would have it legally changed as soon as I turned 18."
Another joked: "I bet his passport application is a nightmare!"
Meanwhile, another said despite being a big football fan, he could not do the same to his kids: "I'm a massive Man City fan but could not do this to my kids... but good for her!"
