Nothing warms the cockles of Planet Football's hearts more than news of a baby being named after an entire football team. A big welcome to the planet earth, then, to Norfolk's Alex Ferguson Barthez Silvestre Neville Johnsen Irwin Stam Brown May Beckham Keane Scholes Butt Veron (pictured below) Giggs Chadwick Cole Yorke Nistelrooy Solskjaer, a brother for Trafford Matt Busby. We kid you not.

Lovely, except (1) who's Stam and (2) was it entirely necessary to give Luke "yikes" Chadwick a mention?
