LONDON (Reuters) - Newcastle United fan Kris Cook was so convinced his club was going to win a first domestic trophy for nearly 70 years that he had a tattoo celebrating the fact on his leg.
The problem was Newcastle ended up losing 2-0 to Manchester United in Sunday's League Cup final at Wembley.
Cook had the popular club chant"Tell me ma me ma" complete with"NUFC Cup winners 26/02/23" etched on to his skin but it proved somewhat premature as Newcastle's wait goes on."I think she was thinking it was a bad idea at the same time, but I got it done. I think my mam is still a little bit livid, my grandma, she went ballistic -- apart from that, all my pals think it's funny.
Asked by a BBC Radio Newcastle reporter whether one solution would be to change the N to an M for the sake of accuracy, Cook said he would rather wait for a Newcastle win." dedication or stupidity really, I have always loved but I didn't think I'd be walking around with that on my leg for the rest of my life.Article type: free
