The player said in an interview with local station HIT Radio FFH that โ€œI donโ€™t like my first name,โ€ while explaining why he had only โ€œPrinceโ€ on his shirt.

โ€œI should have been called Kelvin that would have been a top name: Kelvin-Prince.โ€

โ€œThat was a mistake on the birth certificate – no one knows that.

โ€œI wouldnโ€™t have had to play football then, because that name alone is already stellar, and then they wrote it wrong in the hospital.

โ€œThatโ€™s why I am called Kevin and it stayed that way.

โ€œMy mum had surgery right after the birth and couldnโ€™t intervene.โ€

Kevin-Prince Boateng has made 15 appearances for the Ghana Black Stars and has scored 2 goals for the senior national team.
