The French Euro 2016 mascot has a very NSFW namesake

Sacre bleu!

Tom Victor

We’re starting to think the Euro 2016 organisers should have done a bit more market research before naming their mascot.

A child superhero will be the face of the tournament, and he was given the name ‘Super Victor’ following a public vote.

There’s just one problem, as brilliantly-named football Twitter account ‘Fisted Away’ pointed out.

You see, there’s someone else – or rather something else – with the name ‘Super Victor’.

Be warned: the following description is very much not safe for work.

The French will hope Super Victor can lead Les Bleus to tournament glory, with Didier Deschamps’ squad inspired by a rampant Rabiot.
