A retired teacher who says he is the ‘world’s most prolific sperm donor’ has claimed to have fathered 129 children during the last nine years.
Clive Jones, 66, who lives in Chaddesden, Derby, has been donating his sperm from his van for nearly ten years and says he has another nine children currently on the way.
Mr Jones, who is originally from Burton, was unable to become an official sperm donor as he only started donating aged 58, while banks have an upper donor age limit of 45.
But health experts have warned against his actions, saying that all donors and patients should be treated at a licensed UK clinic.

Mr Jones said he donates his sperm for free through the unregulated world of Facebook because of the ‘happiness it brings’ to families.
He said: ‘I’m probably the world’s most prolific sperm donor with now being at 138 ‘babies’, well, 129 babies born, nine ongoing pregnancies. I might continue for another few years. Get to 150 anyway.
I know of clinics and sperm merchants with greater numbers but they don’t donate, but rather sell semen.
‘I think people would understand more if they saw the messages I get and the photos of the babies with very happy mothers.
‘I feel the happiness it brings. I once had a grandmother message me thanking me for her granddaughter.
‘I do it for free, though sometimes ask a bit for petrol. It’s illegal to charge and doesn’t seem right to take money when I have more than them.’
