Madcap Tottenham Hotspur supporter Gary reportedly changed his name following the death of his young son, who he was sadly never able to take to visit the beloved ground.
Gary White Hart Lane told local newspaper the Surrey Advertiser:
When I tell people my full name on the phone they can crack up.
And when I told my mum I’d changed it, she nearly fell over.
See Gary outside his Tottenham themed house, presumably somewhere in north London, below:
