Former England and Manchester City star Micah Richards couldn’t contain himself after finding out what beloved Twitch streamer and Soccer Aid star Angry Ginge’s real name was. The social media juggernaut turned in a man-of-the-match performance during England’s 5-4 defeat to the Rest of the World at Old Trafford, in a game that saw over £15 million raised for UNICEF.
Angry Ginge was undoubtedly the star of the show among the celebrity players, putting in a commanding shift at the back that only helped his notoriety grow further. The 23-year-old was also the manager of 'Yanited' during the inaugural UK Baller League season, which saw him develop a friendly rivalry with Richards, who was one-third of the 'Deportrio' management team. And the former defender couldn’t hold himself together when he found out the streamer’s name.

Richards' Hilarious Reaction to Angry Ginge's Real Name
The former City defender was left in stitches
Ahead of the fifth week of the Baller League UK season, Richards appeared on Angry Ginge's live stream prior to their two teams meeting in what was at the time a top-of-the-table clash. The Premier League winner then asked the streamer what his 'government name' was, to which he revealed his first name was actually Morgan.
Richards proceeded to burst into hysterics upon finding out this information, but his laughter would only grow when the 23-year-old revealed that his surname was Burtwistle. As if the reaction on stream wasn't bad enough, the jokes continued by the time the coverage of the Baller League began that night.
The pair were interviewed ahead of the Deportrio and Yanited clash, where Richards asked his opposition manager to once again reveal his full name before breaking out into more laughter.
In the end, it would be Burtwistle who got the last laugh. Not only did his side triumph in a 3-0 victory on the pitch, but as a result, Richards was forced to wear a pair of Lightning McQueen Crocs that the streamer had worn throughout the previous weeks of the competition.
