A West Ham fan was so sure that his side would not win at Liverpool, he promised to ink a life-long mark to his leg if they did.

Almost 24 hours before the Hammers travelled to Anfield, pessimistic fan Jon High took to Twitter to make a bold claim.

He tweeted: "52 long years since the famous Irons won at Anfield. If we do it tommorow (sic) i shall get a tattoo to commemorate the famous occasion!"

So when West Ham did win their first game at Liverpool since September 1963, he had a pretty big promise to fulfill.

Over 700 retweets later, he was heading down to the local tattoo parlour after the Hammers claimed a thumping 3-0 win.

Now, sitting with pride of place on his leg is a tattoo of the result, along with the names of the three goalscorerers - Manuel Lanzini, Mark Noble and Diafra Sakho - and their goal times.

There seems to be a trend of tattoos and West Ham away wins - as the same thing happened when they went to Arsenal on the opening day of the season.

Cheikhou Kouyate and Mauro Zarate now have their right of place on the buttocks of cocksure Hammers fan 'Waller' following the remarkable 2-0 win earlier this month.
