Wayne Rooney gets Stereophonics tattoo

England striker pays tribute to his favourite band

Wayne Rooney gets Stereophonics tattoo

Wayne Rooney has got a new tattoo - the title of an album by his favourite band Stereophonics.

The prominent tattoo, on the inside of his right forearm, reads 'Just Enough Education To Perform', the title of the band's 2001 Number One album.

Rooney's choice of tattoo is believed to reference his own education - he left school without any GCSEs as he trained three days a week with Everton.

Stereophonics recently played a surprise gig for the footballer at his wedding celebrations.

His bride, Colleen McLoughlin, organised for the group to play as a gift to Rooney.
