Leeds fan gets £850 tattoo of Marcelo Bielsa’s face on his leg after 10 hours under needle


A DIE-HARD Leeds fan got this amazing £850 tattoo of Marcelo Bielsa’s face on his leg.

Season ticket holder Hayden Kershaw, 27, flew to Amsterdam with girlfriend Claire to get the inking done with renowned artist Auke.

It took 10 hours in all – and looks like it was worth the wait.

The Leeds boss, 64, is depicted wearing his customary glasses and Leeds tracksuit top.

In fact the only obvious thing missing is the bucket he sits on during games.

Hayden booked himself in to get the work done six months ago and said the wait had been worth it when he saw the finished product.

He has been a Leeds fan since he was five.

And the self-employed gas engineer said he got the tat in honour of Bielsa because of how the Argentinian had “completely transformed” the Elland Road side.

He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “I’ve had the best couple of seasons following Leeds religiously all over the world under Marcelo.

“He’s injected pride and passion back in to the city and taken us from a mid-table second division team to a Premier League team in the waiting, with the exact same squad.

“He’s a genius.”



Hayden’s work turned out a lot better than one fan in Argentina – who got this horrendous image of Maradona tattooed on their leg.

And it seemed more professional than this Leeds fan’s ‘Spygate’ depiction of Bielsa.

The supporter got the inking done after Bielsa admitted spying on Championship promotion rivals Derby.
