A dedicated Newcastle United fan named David White has legally changed his name to Alexander Isak, showcasing his admiration for the striker after Isak's crucial goal in the Carabao Cup final. Following the club's 70-year wait for a top-flight trophy, White made the decision publicly via Facebook during the lead-up to the cup final. Although this name change involved some paperwork and cost, it reflects the deep connection fans have with their team and its players, especially after significant victories. White humorously remarked about changing his name back if Newcastle reaches Europe next season.
"I thought 'We've got no chance here'. I said on Facebook 'Whoever gets the winner is going to be my name going forward.'"},{
"It only cost around £20 but obviously I need to change my passports and everything."
"Coming home from London on the Monday, I just said 'Right, I'm doing it.' About a week later all the paperwork came through."
