A FOOTBALL fan’s love for his team runs more than skin deep, although it’s his skin that reveals his adoration for his club. Brazilian side Flamengo appear to have the most dedicated fan in football history after Mauricio dos Anjos got their shirt tattooed on his body. The Brazilian took the term “superfan” to a whole new level back in 2018 when, instead of just buying a shirt like most fans, he spent 90 hours over 32 sessions getting inked with his side’s home kit. Dos Anjos told Vice: “I always wanted to have a Flamengo tattoo, ever since I became a fan as a child.
