Kevin must be French version of Wayne or Darren, considered common and rather vulgar. Kevin always sounds like a little boys name to me, like Timothy, and not for a grown man. That must be my prejudice :greengrinQuote:

PS I'm not bald and I don't know anyone called Karen.

Pretty sure he was at Hibs for a while, if the Thornton variety counts.
Bizarrely I once worked in a team of Kevin's, 4 of them. Surnames began with A,B,C & D.
Wayne, Keith & Nic were the 3 unpopular outcasts....[emoji16]
