FIFA president Sepp Blatter was embarrassed this week when his name was published incorrectly in an announcement revealing that he'd picked up an award from the South African government.
It seems that the president's Wikipedia page had been sabotaged and the altered name was then uploaded to the South African presidency's official website.
The announcement confirming that he had received the Order of The Companions of O R Tambo published his name as 'Joseph Sepp ******* Blatter'.
The award is one of South Africa's highest honours and is given to foreign nationals for "friendship shown to South Africa".
Both websites have now been amended.
The award was given to Blatter for his contribution towards the 2010 World Cup.
After receiving the award at a gala dinner on Monday, Blatter said: "I just have to express my thanks but my emotions are now overcoming my voice. I'm touched by this honour. I would like to thank President Zuma and all the people of South Africa for this gesture. I take it for FIFA, the football family and my own family."
Whoever did this, I love you!
