A BUNGLING Manchester City fan had “Kaka” tattooed on his chest — then the star shunned his beloved club.

Christopher Atkinson, 25, was so confident the Blues would land the AC Milan ace in a record £100million deal last month that he secured his signature permanently.

But he was forced into a cover-up when the Brazilian decided to stay in Italy.


Christopher, of Altrincham, Cheshire, hoped his secret was safe — but his mates found out.

He said: “They haven’t stopped taking the Mick. Kaka’s one of my favourite players. I got carried away by the emotion of him coming here.

“I wanted to show off. I just hope we go for him this summer.

“It’s taken a few weeks to see the funny side. At least I have a permanent reminder of how close City came to signing him.

“I won’t get rid of it. I’ll just hang back a bit next time, hopefully for someone like Lionel Messi from Barcelona.”

The barman and TV extra, who was in Nike ads with Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres, added: “I’m having a Robinho tattoo next.”
