Angry Ginge, known to his fans for his fiery reactions and hilarious FIFA rants, is now a household name in UK internet culture. Real name Morgan Burtwhistle, the 23-year-old content creator from Salford, Manchester, has built an empire through gaming, streaming, and social media. With an estimated net worth of over £1 million, he’s part of a new wave of internet-born celebrities who’ve transitioned into mainstream recognition.
In 2025, Angry Ginge reached another major milestone—being selected to represent England at Soccer Aid, rubbing shoulders with sporting icons like Jermain Defoe, Steph Houghton, Mo Farah, and Toni Duggan, while taking tactical advice from a coaching team that includes Tyson Fury and Harry Redknapp.
Humble Beginnings, Big Personality
Morgan started streaming in 2021, inspired by famous FIFA content creator Castro1021. He didn’t take long to stand out. His emotionally charged reactions during EA Sports’ FIFA matches—now rebranded as EAFC—began going viral on TikTok, drawing attention from casual fans and hardcore gamers alike. His ability to entertain, not just play, was what made him different.
By 2024, Angry Ginge was pulling in massive numbers across multiple platforms:
- Twitch: 1.2 million followers
- YouTube: 800,000+ subscribers
- TikTok: Nearly 2 million followers
- Instagram: 1.2 million
- X (formerly Twitter): Over 200,000
He’s also known for leaning into his brand. His signature look—bright red hair and oversized reactions—became a consistent part of his content. He often jokes about his “ginge” identity, flipping it into something unique and marketable.
Revealing the Name: A Viral Moment
For a long time, fans only knew him by his online alias. But in April 2024, during a Baller League video, he finally revealed his real name: Morgan Burtwhistle. The clip instantly went viral, thanks to Micah Richards’ uncontrollable laughter upon hearing the name. That moment alone became a trending topic, pulling even more attention to Angry Ginge’s growing fame.
Soccer Aid 2025: Gaming Meets Football
This year’s Soccer Aid event marks a major turning point in Morgan’s journey. Set at Old Trafford, the sold-out event includes global football legends and celebrities from various walks of life. For the first time, streamers like Angry Ginge are not just viewers—they’re on the pitch. Playing for England, Ginge lines up with elite athletes while facing a World XI managed by Peter Schmeichel, featuring stars like Carlos Tevez and Leonardo Bonucci.
The inclusion of influencers in this charity-driven match reflects how much digital creators now shape public interest and entertainment. Angry Ginge is at the forefront of this movement.
The Business of Streaming
Angry Ginge’s net worth—estimated at over £1 million—comes from a combination of streaming revenue, brand deals, and social media partnerships. On Twitch, his fans subscribe in multiple tiers, some offering donations and perks. A top streamer like Morgan can earn thousands monthly just through live broadcasts.
Then there’s YouTube, where ad revenue and sponsorships add to his income. With such a large and loyal subscriber base, even a single branded video can be highly profitable. Brands looking to reach Gen Z and gaming audiences see him as a natural fit.
He also earns from Instagram partnerships, short-form TikTok ads, and cross-promotion on other platforms. While no specific income numbers are public, industry estimates suggest streamers with his reach can earn six figures monthly when all income streams are combined.
Luke Littler and Viral Bromance
One of the fan-favorite elements of Angry Ginge’s content is his friendship with darts superstar Luke Littler. Their Twitch sessions—often playing EAFC’s ‘Pro Clubs’ mode—are packed with chemistry, chaos, and laugh-out-loud moments. They’re part of a new content ecosystem that blends sport and entertainment effortlessly.
A now-famous clip from late 2024 featured an unplanned moment where a female voice said, “I’m gonna try and get some sleep because I am so tired,” during Littler’s stream. Angry Ginge’s instant reaction:
“Who the f** is that? Who’s that Luke? He’s had a rotter there!”*
The clip exploded across platforms, adding to their comedic legacy.
They’ve since appeared together on Celebrity Gogglebox, bringing their gaming banter to mainstream TV. It’s a sign of how their personalities resonate beyond just digital screens.
Personal Life and Popularity
While Morgan keeps most of his personal life out of the spotlight, he’s often seen referencing family and childhood experiences in Manchester. His grounded nature is part of what makes him relatable. He doesn’t come across as flashy or corporate, and that raw honesty is a big part of his online appeal.
Fans love his blend of humor, rage, and self-deprecation. Whether he’s shouting at a missed virtual penalty or teasing his friends, there’s a spontaneity to his content that feels real.
What’s Next for Angry Ginge?
As of 2025, Angry Ginge is expanding far beyond gaming. Soccer Aid is just one example of how internet creators are being welcomed into high-profile events. With his massive following, likability, and evolving brand, Morgan Burtwhistle is in a position to go even bigger.
Expect more television appearances, brand collaborations, and maybe even his own merchandise or production studio in the near future. If the past four years are any indication, he’s just getting started.
