Burnley striker Robbie Blake has seen one Clarets-mad couple name their new baby after him!
Robbie-Blake Moore’s mum and dad said the decision to name their second child after their hero was taken in the hospital delivery room.
Adi Moore, 23, and Leanne Lambshead, 25, of Nairne Street, Burnley, had already decided to call their baby Robbie after their favourite Clarets star.
But when he fired home the winner against Manchester United they decided to hyphenate Blake’s full name and give their baby son a double-barrelled name, says the Lancashire Telegraph.
A Burnley FC spokesman said: “The players have been making great headlines on the pitch and it’s good to see they’re making a name for themselves off the pitch as well.
“It’s a mark of how much the stature of the club has grown and the fanaticism of some supporters.
"We’re delighted for the family and we would be more than happy to make Robbie-Blake an honorary member of the Junior Clarets.”
