An interactive map has revealed the person with the most amount of Wikipedia searches from Tooting.

The Pudding website has created a map replacing town names with their 'most Wikiepedia-ed resident'.

This person could be someone who was born in, lived or has connections to the place.

For example, if it says on their page that they had lived in Tooting at any point, then they could be considered.

So who's Tooting most famous? Drumroll, please...

According to the map, Darren Bent is the most wikipedia-ed person from Tooting.

The ex-footballer and now TalkSPORT pundit has racked up over 100 Premier League goals and is therefore in a very exclusive club.

The former Spurs, Sunderland and Aston Villa striker was born in Tooting and has gone on to make the town proud with his achievements in football.

He made 13 England caps, scoring four goals, between 2006 and 2011.

Darren Bent has scored 106 goals in England's top-tier, ranking him 27th in the list of the Premier League's top goal scorers.

That means he's bagged more in that league than Didier Drogba, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Bent came through the youth academy at Ipswich, before going onto join Charlton, Tottenham, Sunderland, Villa before finishing his career at Derby County, with a few loan moves in between.
