Carabao Cup giant-killer is TikTok famous star with nearly one million followers

Gillingham midfielder Jordan Green added a Carabao Cup giant killing to his CV this week – which also includes being a famous TikTok star.

League Two Gills upset Premier League opposition Brentford on Tuesday (November 8), progressing to the last 16 of the competition after winning 6-5 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

Green, 27, played his part having started the game at the Gtech Community Stadium and will be hoping to feature in their fourth-round trip to Wolves next month. He's made 16 appearances for the Kent club this season after joining from Dulwich Hamlet in the summer.

But when he's not on the pitch, Green is killing it on social media with his accounts centred around his baby son. He and his wife film funny skits with their two-year-old Zion and upload them to TikTok.

Their 'RaisingZion1' account took off after the first upload, which jumped on the 'Project Mbappe' trend of training your child to be the next football phenomenon, went viral in July – now having over 40million views.

Since then they've continued making similar short clips and have racked up nearly one million followers, as well as more than 30million likes across all of their uploads.

Green gets Zion in funny scenarios before his wife will interrupt him, each time asking "What are you doing Jordan?". The videos have gone down a storm online, with fans joking "She's obstructing the project" and "She’s coming in between project mbappe".

Another of their followers recently commented: "Bro became Mbappe, Halaand, Neuer, engineer, a construction worker, got a haircut, got new football boots, a bodybuilder and more all in a year."

Green came through Fulham's academy before he was released aged 16. He's had spells with Bournemouth, Yeovil and Barnsley, and scored in the first round of the Carabao Cup away at Wimbledon.
