However, Clarkson, responded to his crtics, he tweeted: 'Why is it racist to name our amazingly brilliant dog after a footballer?'
Twitter user Gbolade Oguntomole said: 'It's racist man! Casual racism! You should be ashamed of yourself. I like you Jeremy Clarkson but this is wrong!'
Nick Ford labelled him a 'racist', while Josh Underwood wrote: 'Tad racist.'
