Club Brugge striker Obbi Oulare is actually named after a Baywatch character!

The 19 year-old Belgian had scouts from Manchester United, Sunderland and Everton see him score last weekend against Anderlecht.

And the former Lille junior admits his unusual name comes from David Hasselhoff's Baywatch!

Oulare revealed: "When my Mum was pregnant, she picked that name from the series Alerte à Malibu, where she found very cute a little boy who starred in it."

The son of David Hasselhoff's character was named 'Hobie', which in French sounds like Obbi.
