Yep, you read the headline correctly.

Yep, you read the headline correctly.

A Bulgarian construction worker has celebrated winning a 15-year long court battle to have his name changed to Manchester United with a massive forehead tattoo of his beloved team’s crest.

As you do.

Zdravkov Levidzhov, now 50, decided to change his name in the throes of a hangover, incurred after United’s win Champions League Final victory over Bayern Munich in the Nou Camp in 1999.

He spent the last 15 years since that hangover fighting the courts to have his name changed. The courts struck a deal with Levidzhov so that he could not be in breach of copyright. The result: Manchester Zdravkov Levidzhov-United.

Catchy as hell, you’ll agree.
