Liverpool cult hero John Arne Riise has further endeared himself to the Reds' faithful by showing off his new tattoo, the words You'll Never Walk Alone on his thunderous left leg.
Gerry & The Pacemaker's 1963 version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" is blasted out before every match at Anfield, and is still loved by Riise, who left the club in 2008 to join Roma after seven years.
In 2005 the Norwegian started in the memorable Champions League final victory over AC Milan, after Liverpool fought back from 3-0 down to level the game and then win on penalties. Riise did miss his spot-kick in Istanbul, however.
Writing on Instagram alongside a picture of his new inking:
"Proud to show my new tattoo. A tribute to the amazing club and fans of Liverpool I put it on my left leg as well. I'm very happy and hope you all like it and understand how much those seven years and your support meant to me."
The 34-year-old is currently without a club after leaving APOEL at the end of last season.
