Kris Cook wrongly predicted Newcastle United would lift their first major trophy since 1969.
A Newcastle United fan who predicted a cup final win by getting a tattoo says he "got a little bit carried away with myself" after his team fell to defeat.
Kris Cook got the chant "Tell me ma me ma, NUFC Cup winners" tattooed on his leg with Sunday's date 26/02/23."I think my mam is still a little bit livid, my grandma, she went ballistic", said Mr Cook, from Northumberland.Media caption,While hopes were high, the defeat left Newcastle still without a major trophy since 1969 and with their last domestic cup success, the FA Cup, back in 1955.
Mr Cook, from Cramlington, decided to get the tattoo while he was getting another one on his arm in the run up to the match last Thursday."I think she was thinking it was a bad idea at the same time, but I got it done. "I think my mam is still a little bit livid, my grandma, she went ballistic - apart from that, all my pals think it's funny."Image source,Kris Cook joked he may wear a wetsuit to cover the tattoo when he takes his daughter swimming, he was asked if he would perhaps change the letter N from NUFC to a letter M, so it read MUFC, instead.
