How Far Would You Go To Support Your Team? Welcome to Mr. Tottenham!

Just how big a fan are you? The origin of the word ‘fan’ “comes from the Modern Latin fanaticus, meaning “insanely but divinely inspired.” So would it be insane to change your name to the team you follow?

David Lind, a supporter of north London club Tottenham Hotspur, wanted to change his name after the team reached the Champions League final last season.

As reported on espn.com:

‘In June, he was denied the right to change it after sending his application to the authority Skatteverket but the decision has been overturned on appeal.’

Lind told Swedish publication Expressen “That it goes through now is almost like scoring goals in injury time.”

Would you go this far?
