What a beautiful story!!! 😂😂😂. The legend of tim Payne
In just 4 days, Tim Payne went from 4,715 followers to 4 MILLION followers on Instagram.
WHO THE FUCK IS TIM PAYNE? 😭
Just four days ago, an Argentinian creator called "elcarso" decided to do something completely random:
Blow up the account of the least relevant football player he could find at the FIFA World Cup.
He went through the official FIFA rankings and found New Zealand at the bottom of the list, a national team that has never won a World Cup match.
Then he started checking the players' Instagram accounts.
That’s when he found Tim Payne.
4,715 followers.
Just a normal football player.
Elcarso made a video asking the internet to come together and show Tim Payne some love.
The movement exploded.
People from all over the world started following Tim Payne and raiding his profile. Countries that normally compete against each other suddenly united around one random football player from New Zealand.
Within days, Tim Payne crossed 2 million followers.
Today, he has already reached 4 million.
The story became so viral that FIFA, major football and news accounts, celebrities, and some of the biggest pages on social media all joined in and started posting about him.
The internet is a crazy place.
One day you're a professional football player with 4k followers.
Four days later, you're one of the most followed footballers on the planet.
Beautiful to see everyone who came together for this.
