Jamie O’Hara scores with special baby boots

It’s the ultimate tribute by footballer fathers – having the name of their children stitched into their boots.

And Wolves midfielder Jamie O’Hara has become the latest star to honour his children on the pitch after being given an embroidered pair by fiancee Danielle Lloyd.

The midfielder is quickly becoming Wolves’ answer to David Beckham after he was presented with a pair of white Adidas boots, with the names of Archie and Harry stitched on in orange thread.

And it seems his flashy new footwear is already making a marked difference on the pitch – after he put in a stellar performance for Wolves during Sunday’s game against Fulham, even bagging himself man of the match.

Former Miss Great Britain Danielle has proudly posted a picture of her new purchase up on her page on social networking website Twitter.

The white boots feature orange coloured studs, and the names of son’s Harry and Archie stitched in the same colour on the side of each shoe.

O’Hara, who moved to Wolves from Tottenham for £3.5 million, became a father for the second time in July when Danielle gave birth to the pair’s second son Harry.

Danielle, aged 27, wrote on her Twitter page: “I got him them for being such a good daddy and a loving hubby.”

She also called for her fiance on Twitter to be selected for the England squad. It is the latest time Danielle has taken to the micro-blogging site to keep her followers updated with what is happening in her life.

When she gave birth prematurely to Harry, she posted numerous messages about her newborn’s health.

Danielle and Jamie took their premature son home from hospital last week. He was born 10 weeks prematurely weighing just 4lb 4oz and was immediately put on a ventilator to assist with his breathing.

A fundraising drive launched by Danielle and Jamie for the hospital where her newborn son was being cared for has already raised more than £1,800. The couple are hoping to raise a total of £35,000 for the Heart of England neonatal unit.

Danielle described Harry as the couple’s “little miracle” in an earlier posting on Twitter.

Yesterday she was spotted having a meal at the Toby Carvery and told followers she was embarrassed to be seen because she had paint all over her. “It was Harry’s first outing to a Toby Carvery but he doesn’t know it because all he does is sleep”, she said.

The pair are due to tie the knot next year and they have recently been out tasting wedding cakes. Their other son, Archie, is one year old.

David Beckham had the names of his four children etched into his football boots in July. The LA Galaxy player was recently photographed with the names of Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, Cruz, six,  and newborn Harper in gold writing on the side of his shoe.
