Angry Ginge is one of numerous celebrities and athletes taking part in 2025’s instalment of Soccer Aid at Old Trafford – but what do we know about the social media and streaming sensation?
Angry Ginge will grace the turf at his beloved Old Trafford this weekend, as Soccer Aid returns. The Twitch streamer and social media star will undoubtedly revel at the chance to play at the theatre of dreams, given that he is a die-hard Manchester United fan and the club are often a focus of his content.
And this Sunday, the 23-year-old will also have the chance to play with some of football’s greatest players – including Red Devils legends Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic. Meanwhile, a number of other celebrities are taking part in the charity football match which aims to raise money for UNICEF, including Sir Mo Farah, Bear Grylls, Paddy McGuinness and Louis Tomlinson.
But what do we know about Angry Ginge as he prepares for arguably the biggest football match of his life? Here, Mirror Football breaks down his net worth, a fierce Baller League fight and his real name that left a Premier League star in hysterics.
What is Angry Ginge’s real name?
Born in November 2001 and raised in Salford, it should come as little-to-no-surprise that Angry Ginge is just a screen name and not the legitimate title of Morgan Burtwhistle. However, that didn’t stop Manchester City legend Micah Richards from buckling when he found out what Angry Ginge was actually called.
Speaking on the Baller League UK podcast, Richards asked the content creator what his “Government name” is, with the youngster responding: “Government name? Morgan,” – leading the former footballer to double take before he started laughing. Angry Ginge then asked: “What’s wrong with that?” to which, Richards added: “Deary, deary, deary deary me. Morgan? What? No way…what’s your actual second name? Morgan what?”
When Angry Ginge replied “Burtwhistle” it set Richards off again, howling in a high pitched voice while the content creator couldn’t help but crack a smile and chuckle himself.
What are Angry Ginge’s earnings?
Angry Ginge burst onto the scene in 2020, quickly garnering thousands of subscribers and views on both YouTube and Twitch. While he initially focused on FIFA and EAFC gaming content, including pack openings and playing online matches. He soon-after transitioned into the world of streaming a variety of video games, as well as real-life content – collaborating with the likes of the Sidemen, Chris MD and Danny Aarons to name a few.
Fast forward to 2025 and Angry Ginge has 814,000 subscribers on YouTube, and 1.3million followers on Twitch. No stranger to a charity football match, Angry Ginge debuted in the Sidemen Charity Match in September 2023, and returned during this year’s instalment of the annual event – scoring for the YouTube Allstars in the 58th minute and going on to win the match on penalties.
Elsewhere, Angry Ginge successfully took the reins of the Yanited Baller League UK side this year, competing alongside a number of footballing legends and social media stars each Monday at London’s Copperbox Arena. During the regular season, Angry Ginge managed to lead his side to a third place finish in the standings with seven wins, three losses and a draw from 11 games, making it to Thursday’s grand final alongside Deportrio, MVPs United and SDS FC.
Thanks to his efforts, Hafi estimate that Angry Ginge has earned between £804k and £1.1m from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram alone over the last 12 months. And that’s not factoring in the star’s earnings from Baller League or Twitch either.
A bitter Baller League fight
Known for his no-nonsense attitude on the sidelines since the opening match of Baller League this year, Angry Ginge found himself held back by stewards during a mass brawl in Game Week Six. Yanited were facing SDS FC in the fixture, when one of Angry Ginge’s players appeared to shove an opponent towards the advertising boards at the side of the pitch.
Tensions began to boil over when members of the respective teams started squaring off with one another, while Angry Ginge also tried to get involved in the action. However, the social media sensation was held back by security as the incident burned out, with PK Humble trying to keep the peace during the chaos.
