PIC: Football fan goes to great lengths to get Adam Johnson tattoo removed

Tom Victor

Many of us have got tattoos which we’ve later regretted, but this is on a whole different level.

Manchester City supporter Robert Mullen was a big fan of one of the club’s exciting English players in the early days of the Sheikh Mansour era.

But unfortunately for him, that player was Adam Johnson – the Sunderland winger who has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and one count of grooming and faces two more charges of sexual activity with a child.

Unsurprisingly, he has contacted E4 show Tattoo Fixers in an attempt to get it removed.

It’s a very unfortunate situation, and one you can’t imagine too many people ever having to deal with.

Johnson played for City from 2010-2012 before joining Sunderland, the club that sacked him following the guilty plea.

He still faces trial over other counts of sexual activity with a child, which he denies.
