Filed Under Football, True stories, funny | 11 Comments

After the revelation that Juande Ramos vetoed the open-top bus parade, this piece makes me wonder - what sort of tattoos were they? I expect Darren Bent’s read “We won the Carling Cup and all I got was this tattoo. I was at Spurs that season, in case you didn’t notice.”
