Tattoos adorning footballers has become as much a part of the modern game as fluorescent boots, shite haircuts and fans turning up to stadiums with A4 pieces of paper demanding that everyone at their club be sacked immediately.
In other words, for the most part, they're pretty fucking naff.

And in the case of Manchester City forward Leroy Sane, the ink that has been needled onto his back is deserving of a standing ovation bigger than has greeted any of the nine goals he has scored for City since signing from Schalke, last Summer.

What...a...fucking...bloke.
The picture in question that the German youngster has opted to decorate his back is of him scoring against Monaco during the Champions League round of 16, first leg. City would win the match 5-3 before losing the return leg 3-1 and crashing out of the competition.

The fact that Sane wasn't awarded PFA Player and Young Player Of The Year for this and this alone is a fucking travesty.
