LDN Blue 7,903 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 MICHAEL ESSIEN'S father has vowed to take his son to court to stop him using the family name.In an astonishing move, James Essien says he has instructed a lawyer in Ghana to take the case on against Chelsea midfielder Michael, who he has not spoken to for 10 years.Essien Snr claims Michael's mother is lying by telling people he never took care of his son when he was a small child.He said: "I will take Michael to court to get him to stop using the Essien name. I have a lawyer who wants to help me achieve this aim."If we achieve my aim then everyone will know he is no longer my son."The name has blessings on it and that's why he has been a great player."http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3462927/Its-Essien-v-Essien-in-court.htmlThis is disgraceful. :ballack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Term-X 7,891 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 His father isn't the only Essien in the world, he doesn't own the rights to that surname.Anyone can change their surnames by deed poll anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not there for your son when he needs you and then you want to take him to court to get some sort of money out of him. Im sure Essiens lawyer will show him up anyway....If need be just change your name to Bison! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 whether he has to change his name or not, in my eyes as a Chelsea fan, he is, and always will be Michael Essien! I think it's absolutely unfair on Michael. He's known to us fans as a legend, and yet his father wants to bring up his childhood experiences, at the expense of some money.What a total dick!!

Term-X 7,891 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 whether he has to change his name or notLmao, you do realise this story is bullshit.Nobody can own a surname, Fact.Thousands/millions of people have the same surname, it's impossible to own or have exclusive rights to one.

Steve 10,227 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Correct even if he does sue him and win. He can legally change his name to anything he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drogba11CFC 108 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 ^ If he does change his surname, and he can choose anything he wants..."...Number 3, Ashley Cole! Number 5, Michael Kickarse! Number 12, John Obi..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 He should change his name to 'Where's Gerrard?' and then there will be no further confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
