BLACKBURN Rovers striker Matt Derbyshire has become a dad after his girlfriend gave birth to twins.
The 21-year-old first announced he was to be a father after scoring in Blackburn's 3-0 win against Birmingham City in the Carling Cup in September.
He celebrated a successful spot-kick by running to the Blackburn End at Ewood Park and making a baby cradling gesture to the fans.
Mother and babies are said to be doing well.
