I'm not sure I even have 23 friends.

Patrice Evra is one of 24 (yes, twenty-four) siblings.

'Evra was born in Senegal's capital, Dakar, the youngest of eight children. His father, who married four times and added another 16 kids to the clan, worked for the Senegalese Embassy and was sent to work in Brussels before the family settled in France,' reported The Guardian a few weeks ago.

And said Evra himself to Inside United magazine earlier this week: "I'm always on the phone and all the lads joke with me asking what number sibling I'm talking to! It was great when we were younger because we could play a whole football tournament together! I love being part of a big family and it's beautiful when everyone is together."
