Mo Farah REALLY loves Arsenal.
National treasure Mo Farah has revealed how his wife stopped him from calling their new-born son Arsenal.
Farah, who became the first man to win the 'triple-double' after claiming gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m at the Olympics and back-to-back World Championships, has been given a new reason to celebrate in the shape of first son Hussein Mo Farah.
Hussein, who was born in Portland, has been handed his father's name but it could have been a completely different story if Farah's wife Tania wasn't on hand to intervene.
'I wanted Arsenal to be Hussein's middle name, but Tania wasn't having it,' Farah joked when talking to Hello magazine from his Portland home.
Unlucky Mo, Arsenal sounds like a wonderful middle name to us... there's always next time, perhaps go for Arsene instead though!
