      by

      NOT LOGAN PAUL has made a name for himself with his eerily similar appearance to influencer Logan Paul.The lookalike star is well known online, boasting popular Instagram and TikTok accounts, and has also entered the world of boxing.
      Rodney Petersen is better known online by his alias Not Logan Paul
      Who is Not Logan Paul?
      Not Logan Paul is a social media personality who found fame due to looking like Logan Paul.
      The star, real name Rodney Petersen, began posting on social media in 2020.
      At first, he shared aspects of his life like his love for music and pictures of his children.
      But it wasn’t long until his followers began to make comparisons between Petersen and influencer and boxer Paul.
      READ MORE ON LOGAN PAUL
      Petersen told Business Insider: “In early 2021, I’d never heard of YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul.
      “But when people started flooding my comments section saying they thought I looked like him, I googled him and discovered he’s a hugely popular influencer with a controversial past.”
      Petersen, who shares four children with his wife, has enjoyed success from the comparisons but has admitted the reception isn’t always positive.
      He explained: “I sometimes receive negative comments from viewers, such as from a person who commented ‘you and your brother are jokes of the world,’ as if I was actually Logan himself, which is so strange.”

      “In a funny way, I’ve found that it’s allowing more people to find me and get to know who I am.
      “People used to come up to me in the street because they thought I was Logan Paul, but now, they know that I’m his doppelgänger on TikTok, they know my accounts and real name, and they want a picture with the actual me.”

      ENI ALUKO has become a successful TV pundit since retiring from women’s professional football.The star hung up her boots in January 2020 after playing a whopping 102 times for England between 2004 and 2016.
      Eni Aluko is a TV pundit and former professional player

      Who is Eni Aluko?
      Eni Aluko MBE is a football broadcaster and former professional player.
      She was born on February 21, 1987, in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to Birmingham, England, with her family when she was six months old.
      Aluko played many sports as a child, including tennis, but found a love for football after playing with her brother, Sone Aluko, who also went on to become a professional footballer.
      As of 2024, Sone is signed by Ipswich Town but he has also played for Reading and Fulham in the past.
      Eni started her own football career with Leafield Athletic Ladies and went on to play for several big teams.
      Aluko has also had an impressive international career, representing England at three World Cups (2007, 2011, 2015) and two European Championships (2009 and 2013), as well as playing for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics.
      In January 2020 Eni was named as the Sporting Director for Angel City FC, a team based in Los Angeles.
      She became the Director of Recruitment for the team in August 2022 but officially left the role in 2023.
      Who has Eni Aluko played for?
      Aluko had an illustrious career as a professional footballer before her retirement in 2020.
      The full list of teams that she represented can be seen below:

      2001-2004 – Birmingham City
      2004-2007 – Charlton Athletic
      2007-2009 – Chelsea
      2009-2010 – Saint Louis Athletica
      2010 – Atlanta Beat
      2011 – Sky Blue FC
      2012 – Birmingham City
      2012-2018 – Chelsea
      2018-2019 – Juventus

      Has she been a pundit before?

      Aluko is a successful and popular pundit, and made history when she became the first female pundit on Match of the Day in 2014.
      She continued punditry alongside her football career during the television coverage of the 2016 Euros, the women’s Euros in 2017, the 2018 World Cup and 2019 Women’s World Cup.
      Aluko was part of Amazon Prime’s pundit team for their coverage of the 2020/21 Premier League season.
      She also appeared on ITV’s coverage of the Euro 2020 tournament and is a regular face on the channel’s football coverage.
      What was the controversy surrounding her and Mark Sampson?
      In August 2017, Aluko accused the then-England manager Mark Sampson of “racist” comments
      Sampson was found by independent barrister Katherine Newton to have made “ill-judged attempts at humour, which, as a matter of law, were discriminatory on the grounds of race.”
      Newton added: “It was fundamentally important to emphasise that I have not concluded that MS is a racist.”
      It was alleged that Sampson had told Aluko to make sure her Nigerian relatives did not bring Ebola to Wembley and he also asked Drew Spence how many times she had been arrested.
      The FA was forced to issue an apology after it was found that they had known about the comments since 2016 and had cleared Sampson of any wrongdoing.
      Sampson later apologised, saying: “When players made complaints, they needed to be handled with the respect they deserved.”

      What did Joey Barton say about Lucy Ward and Eni Aluko?
      Joey Barton came under fire after he made comments about Aluko and another pundit, Lucy Ward, as part of a sexist tirade.
      The former Manchester City and Newcastle star called the stars “the Fred and Rose West of football”, referring to two of Britain’s worst serial killers.

      Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Barton posted in January 2024: “How is she even talking about Men’s football. She can’t even kick a ball properly.
      “Your coverage of the game EFC last night, took it to a new low.
      “Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, the Fred and Rose West of football commentary.”
      Celebrities like Piers Morgan,  Laura Woods and Bianca Westwood were quick to call out the comments on social media.

      ITV Sport also addressed Barton, saying in a statement: “For Joey Barton, an ex-professional player with a significant social media presence, to target two of our pundits, Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, with such vindictive remarks based on gender and to involve the names of serial killers in doing so is clearly contemptible and shameful on his part.

      SIR JIM RATCLIFFE is the chemical engineer and industry tycoon who has purchased a 25% stake in Manchester United.Ratcliffe, who is one of the UK’s richest men, is a huge football fan and his deal for United has finally been announced.
      Ineos CEO Jim Ratcliffe has bought a stake in Man Utd
      Who is Jim Ratcliffe and what is his net worth?
      Jim Ratcliffe is a fracking and chemicals entrepreneur who is the chairman and CEO of chemicals group Ineos.
      The Brexit-backing businessman came from humble beginnings and was brought up in a council house near Manchester by his joiner dad and office manager mum.
      He was born on October 18, 1952, as James Arthur Ratcliffe.
      Ratcliffe’s first job was with oil giant Esso but he later went on to study for an MBA from London Business School and, in 1989, he joined US private equity group Advent International.
      In May 2023 Ratcliffe surged to second in the Sunday Times Rich List with a reported net worth of £29billion.
      When did he start Ineos?
      Ratcliffe is the chairman and chief executive of the Ineos chemicals group, which he founded in 1998 from a small base in Hampshire.
      Using high-yield debt to fund deals, he started buying unwanted operations from groups such as energy giant BP, picking targets based on their potential to double their earnings over a five year period.
      In 2006, Ineos bought BP’s refining and petrochemical arm Innovene, giving Ineos refineries and plants in Scotland, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium and Canada.
      Then, in April 2010, Ratcliffe relocated Ineos’ head office to Rolle in Switzerland, cutting the company’s tax bill by £100million per year.
      Ineos products are used every day to clean water, make toothpaste, manufacture antibiotics, insulate homes and package food.
      The chemicals giant employs more than 18,500 people at 181 sites across 22 countries.
      When was Jim Ratcliffe knighted?
      Ratcliffe was knighted in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list on June 2, 2018, receiving the honour for services to business and investment.
      Other big names on the honours list that year included Kenny Dalglish and Emma Thompson.
      What sports teams does Jim Ratcliffe own and does he support Manchester United?
      Boyhood Manchester United fan Ratcliffe revealed his interest in buying the Old Trafford club in January 2023 after the Red Devils were put up for sale by the US-based Glazer family.
      Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani was thought to have put in a £5billion bid for the team –  short of the Glazers’ £6billion valuation of the club.
      In 2022 Sir Jim tried to buy United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea after Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the West London club as part of sanctions imposed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
      US investor Todd Boehly and his consortium took control of the Blues after Ratcliffe’s bid was rejected.
      Ineos already own French football club Nice, as well as Swiss side Lausanne and a third of F1 motor racing team Mercedes.
      His Team Ineos cycling team has won seven editions of the annual Tour de France, boasting riders such as Sir Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas.

      Does he have children?
      Ratcliffe has two sons, called George and Samuel, with his first wife Amanda Townson, who he split from in 1995 after a ten-year marriage.
      He went on to welcome a daughter, Julia, with his second wife, Italian tax lawyer Maria Alessia Maresca – also known as Alicia Ratcliffe.
      Ratcliffe reportedly wed Alicia in the late 1990s, before splitting up a few years later.
      In 2020 Ratcliffe moved to tax haven Monaco, leaving behind his properties in Chelsea and Hampshire. More
