Fans are Just Now Realizing That the Full Name of a Premier League Star is 65 Letters Long
Elijah Adebayo scored a hat-trick on Tuesday against Brighton to help Luton Town climb out of the relegation zone. His full name is 65 letters long, and fans were surprised to learn this. Within 19 seconds, he had opened up the scoring after flicking the ball past the goalkeeper, and later capped off his trio of goals with a composed close-range finish and a poacher’s header. After the game, Hatters boss Rob Edwards praised Adebayo’s performance and potential to cause Premier League defenders real problems.
He highlighted Adebayo’s work-rate, pressing, and all-around performances, stressing that there is still a long way to go for him but expressed confidence in his potential for a successful career. Adebayo received praise on social media, with fans expressing disbelief at the length of his full name. His name, Elijah Anuoluwapo Oluwaferanmi Oluwatomi Oluwalana Ayomikulehin Adebayo, reflects his Nigerian descent, where it is customary for children to be given their father’s, grandfather’s, or great-grandfather’s names as well as their birth names. Fans reacted with surprise and admiration for Adebayo’s big name and impressive performance.
