A businessman is selling bizarre merchandise celebrating the BUM of Scotland's John McGinn - which he says is flying off the shelves ahead of the Euros.

Kevin Beresford, 72, is flogging jigsaw puzzles, drinks coasters and mugs featuring the backside of the Aston Villa midfielder in tribute to his "dynamic derrière".

Kevin said he wanted to commemorate the Tartan Army reaching the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany by doing something "a bit different".

So he created the wacky range of Scotland memorabilia dedicated to the player's famous buttocks entitled: "The Wonderful World of Super John McGinn's Arse."

McGinn has been nicknamed 'BraveArse' by supporters due to his uncanny ability to hold off opponents using his rear end.

The tough-tackling 29-year-old previously admitted the body part has helped his career thrive, saying: "If I didn't have my backside, I'd probably be at Yeovil.

"I don’t think anyone has a backside the size of me."

Kevin, who is known as Britain's Dullest Man, is now selling the coasters and mugs for £8.99 each while the jigsaw puzzle will set fans back £17.99.

Kevin, of Redditch, Worcs., said: "I just wanted to do something a bit different to the usual St George's and St Andrew's Cross flags you see everywhere in the shops.

"Scotland have done incredibly well to get to the Euros so I wanted to commemorate the occasion in a unique way - and I think this ticks that box.

"I'm a Villa fan and it's fair to say he is also Scotland's most popular player with their fans, so I thought he would be perfect.

"And as any Villa or Scotland fan knows he utilises his brilliant backside with amazing success when holding off defenders or other midfielders.

"He uses his buttocks to baffle and battle his opponents and then does his trademark John McGinn turn.

"It's almost unique what he does, I've never seen another player use their backside to their advantage like he does.

"He almost goes horizontal in a crouching position and just sticks out this dynamic derrière, which is worthy of a Greek God.

"We were having some debate about whether to use the word arse but I think it's funnier than bum or buttocks.

"Plus the Scots are well known for their colorful language so I can't see it offending them.

"I saw Richard Attenborough use it in a 1950s film, so I think by now its been diluted enough to be acceptable.

"Also John McGinn is a well-known joker in the dressing room so I'm pretty sure he'll enjoy this."

Dad-of-four Kevin, a retired painter, is backing an England v Scotland final if the teams can avoid each other along the way in Germany.

Kevin, who previously sold calendars dedicated to Jack Grealish's calves, added:
"I'm hoping for an England versus Scotland final - that would be really nice.

"I'm one of these supporters who likes to see the home nations do well at football and rugby even though it might not be reciprocated.

00:00 My name's Kevin Beresford and I've produced some merchandise for the Euros, which is in two weeks time.
00:08 And I have to say, first and foremost, I'm an Aston Villa supporter.
00:13 And Villa supporters know only too well about John McGinn's dynamic deli air.
00:19 He uses his bum to full effect when he tackles a pyromancer and tries to dribble round him.
00:26 And the Scottish supporters, just like the Villa supporters, know only too well about John McGinn's bum.
00:32 Yeah, when it comes to my dog, Kev.com, known as the dullest man in Britain,
00:37 I like to take slices of life that no one else would bother with.
00:41 I've done Jack Grealish's calves in the past.
00:44 So I was looking at John McGinn, I was looking at the Euros, what can I come up with that's a bit unique?
00:51 And I thought, the beauty of John McGinn is the way he uses his backside in the way he plays.
00:57 So I was drawn to his backside, it sounds a bit odd doesn't it?
01:02 And I produced all his, I love John McGinn's arse, you can believe me on that if you like.
01:08 I've done a mug, coasters and a jigsaw.
01:12 So the thing about my products, they're always unique.
01:15 You can go round supermarkets when the Euros all start up in a few weeks time or a few days time now
01:20 and you'll see the same old tired sort of stuff.
01:23 But at least this is something different and I think this will enhance any dinner parties.
01:29 Hopefully Scotland will progress as far as they can.
01:33 I predict the quarter finals for Scotland and maybe England the semi-finals.
01:41 But yeah, John McGinn's bum, it's amazing the way he uses it.
01:46 He utilises his magnificent backside in the way he performs on the field.
01:52 He's well aware of the size of his backside, he's quoted in the past that.
01:56 And I'm sure if he saw these he'd see the funny side of it.
