Aston Villa’s Steve Sidwell and his wife Krystell are celebrating the birth of their second son, born on December 3.

Steve is a massive fan of Rocky films, and they’ve named the new bubba Rocko as a result.

Steve is also a bit of a romantic: he has a tattoo of his wedding vows to Krystell written on his back, which he got done a few days after his honeymoon.

FYI: Steve and Krystell met when they were eight years old, and started dating when they were 15.

Krystell sent Steve a message before his big goal against Everton last week:

“My wife gave birth to a baby boy last Wednesday and before the game she sent me a text saying ‘Score a goal for him.‘ It was an early one so hopefully he was awake!

I’ve always believed that if your life is good outside football, you come to work with a smile on your face.“

Steve and Krystell have another son, named Harry, who was born in April 2006.

Congratulations!
