The sales assistant had the name Judgey and the Ipswich Town crest tattooed on his backside.

He said it "was just a bit of banter at first" but "blew up" as soon as Ipswich Town retweeted his post.

While he was having the tattoo, he posted a video with the comment: "So here's to thank Judgey for signing. Cheers."

He said Judge himself had retweeted him, so he was "happy with that".

In an interview with the East Anglian Daily Times , Judge said he had felt the fans' support since joining Ipswich on a short-term deal in January.

Although the Republic of Ireland international said "I think I'll give that one a miss" in response to Mr Reay's Twitter pledge.
