Referee Mark Clattenburg Shows His Daffy Side After Getting Tattoos Done After Memorable Summer

Published on: 02 August 2016

Mark Clattenburg may well be the world's trendiest referee, even if that's not saying much when you look at the likes of Chris Foy or Anthony Taylor.


The Premier League and FIFA ref found himself in hot water a few seasons ago after attending an Ed Sheeran concert, during which he broke key regulations for a referee.


Now the 41-year-old has been opened up to more ridicule, after his tattooist revealed Clattenburg's newly inked skin.

His tattoos commemorate his role in European football this year, where he officiated the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and also his part in European Championships during the summer where he took charge of the final between Portugal and France.


Who knows whether the FA or the Premier League will be approving of the tattoos, but Clattenburg clearly feels proud of what he's accomplished over the summer, andcertainly hasn't worried about any potential sanctions he could incur for having the tattoos done.

Very nice Mark, very nice.
