      Having taken charge of the struggling League One side in January, he’s tasted victory just once in 11 games.
      That win, at home to Sheffield Wednesday, came after a nine-match winless start at the world’s first vegan football club.
      Despite the horror run, Ferguson is still looking to the future and having penned a long-term contract, he says if he’s still there at the end of it he’ll mark the achievement permanently.
      Speaking to the Telegraph, he said: “I’ve signed a five-year contract and we’re hoping to build the club, take it up as far as we can.

      “So maybe then, if I’m still here five years from now, I’ll get a Forest Green tattoo.”
      It wouldn’t be his first inking if he does.
      Ferguson is most associated with Everton, and has their emblem on his left arm.
      Asked if he had any regrets about it he said: “Not at all. I’m an Evertonian. I love the club, I love the people.”

      by

      The curvy Brazilian brunette with the world-famous rear already has several tattoos in tribute to Lionel Messi, including a very cheeky tat of his face just above her hips.
      She also got Messi’s name tattooed on her bum in 2019 as a confident prediction that he would win his sixth Ballon d’Or the following year.
      As it turned out, the 2020 contest didn’t go ahead due to the Covid-19 pandemic, although Messi went on to collect his sixth award when it resumed in 2021.
      Now, Suzy has revealed not just one but a further three new tattoos on her bum celebrating the 35-year-old Messi.
      READ MORE ON SUZY CORTEZ
      She told The Sun that the fresh tats were in honour of Messi and Argentina’s stunning World Cup Final triumph over France in Qatar last December.
      The three tattoos, which were pictured on her rear, include one of Messi’s autograph, three stars representing Argentina’s three World Cup Titles, and a number ten reflecting his shirt number.
      Suzy said that the tattoos were fulfilling a promise she had made during the World Cup if Argentina triumphed.
      As it turned out, the South American side successfully defeated the reigning champions France 4-2 in a penalty shootout, after a thrilling contest ended 3-3 following extra time.
      Most read in Football
      It was Argentina’s first World Cup win since 1986 when they were captained by Diego Maradona.
      Suzy said that her new tattoos mean she is entering the Guinness Book of Records for having the largest number of tattoos of Messi on various parts of her body.
      She also shared two short clips of her having the tattoos applied at Xavier Piercing Tattoo.
      Suzy was invited to watch the final in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires – despite being from arch-rivals Brazil.
      She announced her plans at the time for future tattoos if Argentina secured their third World Cup, and Messi’s first.
      Suzy said: “I plan to get tattooed like Messi, with the ball and the number 10 on his leg.”
      She celebrated Argentina reaching their sixth World Cup Final by delighting her fans with photos of her getting covered in body paint in the blue and white colours of the flag.
      The latest inkings may not go down well with Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo.
       Messi previously blocked her on social media after being bombarded with saucy pictures.
      Antonela – who has three children with Messi – also blocked Suzy after she tagged her husband in a series of provocative posts.
      Suzy then launched an online campaign to encourage her fans to support her and convince Messi to unblock her.
      Her famously eye-popping assets won her the coveted 2015 Miss BumBum and Miss Butt World titles, beating competition from beauties all over the world.

      He said: “I just thought it was a cool tattoo. I was going to get a bunch of hearts and stuff. That would have been really stupid. I was going to be the man of hearts, baby. I was very close. Victor Perez, the tattoo artist, said, I ain’t doing that. I can’t do that.

      “I said, ‘what do you think I should get?’ Because I was confused. Victor Perez is a good guy and said, ‘come back in a couple of days. I’m going to try and write up some stuff.’
      “I waited around, and two days later, he called and said, ‘Mike, I’ve got some tribal stuff.’ I said, ‘Woah, put another one over there.’ I was like, ‘this is cool; I like this.’ So he did it.”
      The tattoo takes inspiration from the traditional Maori tribe from New Zealand.
      Tyson’s tattoo covers the left side of his face and features tribal symbols.

      Monica had filed for divorce from Mike in January 2002, claiming that Mike had committed adultery during their five-year marriage.

      by

      But he made just 30 appearances for Chelsea during that period and scored just three goals.
      He has spent most of his time away on loan having spells at Watford and Newcastle.
      In total he went out on loan five times – including last season when he was back in his homeland playing for Flamengo.
      However, the Samba star is hoping to finally put down firm foundations in one location following last summer’s move to newly-promoted Real Valladolid – who are owned by Brazilian legend Ronaldo.

      He has suffered a difficult start to life in LaLiga, where he has previous experience following loan stints with Getafe and Granada, due to fitness issues.
      Two groin injuries have limited him to just four cameo appearances so far this season.
      Now it looks like he is hoping for some help from above in order to get back on track with an incredible piece of ink work.
      The club’s Twitter account revealed Kenedy’s latest tattoo, which covers his full head, showing the image of Jesus.

      And after the image of him back in training was shared, one fan commented: “Mamma Mia, more ink than a squid.”
      Another asked: “Could this guy be any more tattooed?”
      While another tweeted: “I love this head very much, I hope Valladolid is saved.”
      Valladolid are currently sitting 16th in LaLiga, two points and two places above the drop zone with 12 matches to go.

      I fought Mike Tyson, inspired him to get face tattoo, and sent to prison for attempted murder before becoming a painter

      by

      MIKE TYSON’S career was nothing short of a rollercoaster – but perhaps his strangest opponent was a man nicknamed “The Black Rhino”.Iron Mike was undoubtedly on a downward spiral in 2003 when he stepped into the ring on February 22 in Memphis.

      He faced fringe contender Clifford Etienne and knocked him out in just 49 seconds – despite claiming he had a broken back.
      The pre-fight was marred by rumours of the then 36-year-old’s fitness with allegations that he sacked off his training camp in order to party in Las Vegas.
      And he even took time out to get his now iconic facial tattoo just a week before the bout.
      Despite all of that, and “The Baddest Man on the Planet” cancelling the fight before changing his mind, the legend still claimed what would be his final ever victory between the ropes.

      He filed for bankruptcy soon afterwards but the American has since gone on to bounce back with his highly-profitable cannabis farm, several Hollywood movie appearances and his comeback to the ring against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
      But while he has rebuilt his life, his opponent that night also hit rock bottom but now has a new passion since being JAILED.
      Etienne, now 53, is serving a 105-year prison sentence in Louisiana for armed robbery, kidnapping, and attempted murder of a police officer after being convicted in 2006.
      The ex-heavyweight, who retired with a record of 29 wins, two draws and four losses, discovered a love of painting while in the joint.

      Lynn O’Shea handles Etienne’s business affairs and she revealed to TMZ how art has saved his life behind bars.
      She said: “He’s amazing. He took painting serious inside and after he earned trustee status he was actually able to become the warden’s artist and sleep in his paint room.
      “That kept him away from all the drama in gen pop.
      “The city of New Orleans bought one that hangs in a district police department, if you can believe that.”
      However, life has not always been a pretty picture for the artist on the inside.
      Back in 2015 he was transferred to a new prison after he was attacked and nearly killed in in his paint room.
      O’Shea added: “Things slowed down after the attack. He used to make all his own canvas and stuff to paint on … but now he’s locked down.
      “I’m hoping some friends from his past life as a boxer can help him out.” More
