AL'S TATTOON BARMY

Fan’s back tattoo of Newcastle legend Alan Shearer goes viral because it looks nothing like him

Jokers photoshopped the head on to a snap of Alan, 48, in his famous goal celebration pose

Hilarious tattoo of Alan Shearer has gone viral - because it looks nothing like the England legend.

A Toon fan had the goal ace's picture inked on his back with the words 'Newcastle United' above it and 'Shearer' below.

But when a snap of the artwork was posted online footy fans said it looked more like Les Dennis, Jim Robinson from Neighbours or Slobodan Milosevic than Shearer.

The Match of the Day's official twitter account even joined in the fun and said: "Er...Alan Shearer?"

MOTD pundit Shearer, 48, replied with a selfie and said: "I don't know what your point is? I think it looks just like me...."

One wag even cut and paste the tattoo image on to a picture of the player celebrating as goal in his Newcastle pomp.

 The tattoo has been criticised for looking nothing like the ex-player

One fan even criticised the clothes that the Sun columnist was wearing in the tattoo: "Why would you have Shearer in a suit and not in his Toon shirt?!"

Others suggested that the tattoo bore a greater resemblance to Sloth from the Goonies, Spurs ace Harry Kane, Beavis from Beavis and Butt-Head and Tintin.

One joker said: "That's what happens when you try to tattoo your own back."

And another said: "Should have gone to Specsavers.....now needs to go to Tattoo Fixers..."
