Wayne Rooney has paid homage to his favourite band by having the title of one of their albums tattooed on his arm.

The footballer who is a huge fan of the Welsh band has had the title of the band's third album - Just Enough Education To Perfom - inked on his arm.

In a jest, Jones revealed he made Rooney vow to declare himself a Welshman and sign for his favourite club Leeds United - arch rivals of Manchester United

Frontman Kelly Jones even jetted in for a surprise performance at his wedding to Coleen McLoughlin.

In a jest, Jones revealed he made Rooney vow to declare himself a Welshman and sign for his favourite club Leeds United - arch rivals of Manchester United.

The phrase is also thought to be an allusion to the fact that the Manchester United star left school without a single GCSE to his name.

Rooney has two other tattoos - a cross and wife Coleen's name.
