Football top dogs Crawley Town have had a litter of future champions named after them.

Lifelong Reds fan Lee Wesson decided to call his first litter of pedigree bulldogs after the club's star players.

Lee, 45, even dubbed one of the pups Evo because he looks remarkably like club boss Steve Evans.

Lee, who runs a window and carpet cleaning business, said: "We decided to name them after the team and especially the manager as Evo looks like him.

"They have all got new homes to go to apart from Evo.

"We are keeping him because he is special."

Sergio Torres hugged his namesake, Sergio's Dream, and said: "It is a great idea and I am happy to have a dog named after me."

Striker Matt Tubbs added: "We are top dogs in League Two and hopefully if they become champions when they are a little bit older they will come back to see us."

Manager Steve Evans said: "It shows you just how far the club has come when people want to do this type of thing.

"It is all a good bit of fun and at the end of the day we are all animal lovers at the club."

Lee, from Furnace Green, Crawley, has registered the valuable pups names with the Kennel Club.
