Harry Maguire’s response to a fan’s new tattoo will warm your heart
As World Cup fever engulfs the country, some people have been going to fairly extreme lengths to show their dedication. One fan, Matt Benton, vowed to get a tattoo of meme hero Harry Maguire if he managed to score against Sweden.
If @HarryMaguire93 scores against Sweden, he's face is getting tattooed on my chest!! #itscominghome #twitterblades #sufc

Which, of course, he did.

Now, we’ve never experienced seeing ourselves tattooed onto someone else’s chest, so we don’t know what emotions it might stir up, but it’s fair to say that this is just about the best reaction Matt could have hoped for.
Can’t believe what I’m seeing … Great effort 😂 DM me and I’ll sort out a signed England shirt from the lads 👍🏴🦁 #FullyDeserved #YouMustHaveABigChest https://t.co/iF6OzQfWE4

What a guy! We particularly liked the little hashtag nod towards his famously large head. Expect an epidemic of England squad tattoos between now and the final.
