London, Sept 24 : British soccer star Wayne Rooney and a pal have got matching words tattooed above their bums.

The footie has had the word “then” tattooed to match with his pal’s “OK” inked on the same spot.

The friends plan to display ‘OK then’ as they throw their trousers on wild night outs.

Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton caught a glimpse of Rooney’s strange tattoo when she came across him and his pals at the Stereophonics gig in London’s Electric Ballroom, Camden.

The Daily Star quoted her as telling her radio listeners: “I’ve found something out about Wayne Rooney I don’t think I’m supposed to say on the radio, but I am as it was quite surprising.

“One of his friends told me: ‘Wayne and I have tattoos we had done together.’ Then I saw them with my own eyes and I thought it was genius.”

And, Wayne’s Manchester United teammates have also got a new reason to pull his leg.

A team member said: “He’s had some real stick – but it’s a long-running thing that people say to each other in Wayne’s circle of friends.” (ANI)
