Tweet Goes Viral When Teen Sees 12-Year-Old Self in Footballer’s Ink
He was just trying to watch a soccer game when he realized that his teenage face was tattooed on one of the players whom he had never even met.
How is this even possible?!
When England took the pitch to face Italy in 2015, viewers took to Twitter to comment … as sports fans often do. What made that particular match different was that the bulk of the commentary focused on the ink of Ryan Mason, an up-and-coming midfielder who plays his club games for Tottenham Hotspur.
