Is this West Bromwich Albion's youngest fan?
Newborn baby Jacob Lloyd strikes a claim to be West Brom's youngest ever fan after his father introduced him to the beautiful game just hours after the birth.
Luke Lloyd, from Walsall, dressed his son in an Albion 'baby grow' when he was four hours and twenty minutes old, much to the dismay of Jacob's mother, Faye Watson.
And little Jacob, who weighed a healthy 7lbs 4oz, celebrated his first day with an emphatic 7-0 win for his team against non-league Gateshead in the FA Cup.
The 26-year-old engineer, Mr Lloyd said: "The midwife asked me if I had a vest for Jacob and of course I pulled out the Albion baby grow - she was a Villa fan as well so there was a bit of banter flying around.
"I don't think Faye was too happy about it, she did shake her head at me. She definitely knew it was coming though.
"Football isn't really her thing I don't think. I think she hates it because I'm always out of the house on Saturday afternoons but soon that will be two of us."
He added: "It was the day we played Gateshead in the FA Cup and we won 7-0. My dad stayed for the birth but left as soon as he could to catch the end of the game.
"I put the picture of Jacob on Twitter shortly after and didn't really expect anything but the response from everyone has been great."
Mr Lloyd also inherited his love for the Baggies from his father, and has had a season ticket at the Hawthorns for 21 years since he was five.
But he admits it might be a bit more of a struggle financially now Jacob is around.
He said: "I'll look into taking him when I can afford it be honest, now all my money is being spent looking after him. But hopefully I can get him to a game as soon as possible."
