A Los Angeles lawyer has become Bolton Wanderers' newest fan after being repeatedly mistaken for a player.
Alexander Baptiste, who runs his own law firm, was tagged in a tweet by Manchester Evening News' MyBWFC account on Saturday evening after his namesake scored a 95th minute equaliser in a thrilling 3-3 draw against MK Dons.
The tweet read: "Where do you want your statue, @AlexBaptiste?!"

Instead of the Mansfield-born defender replying, it was an attorney from the City of Angels and he hinted that it isn't the first time that the mistake has been made.
He wrote: "I don’t watch football much but I’m the biggest Bolton Wanderers supporter in California because I’ve been getting confused for your Alex Baptiste since I made a twitter.
"Let me know where I can buy a jersey Cheers - great goal"
Alexander then shared an image of a Bolton Wanderers home shirt added to his bag on the club website, complete with Baptiste 27 on the back.
Since the hilarious mix-up, he has been followed by a number of Wanderers fans and has promised to visit the University of Bolton Stadium in the future.
He has also updated his Twitter profile to include 'Honorary #BWFC Supporter' in the bio and fans have been asking the club to do something for their newest follower.
