Offside Soundoff: Which Player Broke Your Heart?

Kaka’s proposed £100m (or whatever it was) move to Man City got a lot of people quite excited. Including us. But deep down we all knew it was never going to happen.

All except Christopher Atkins that is. This City fan was a true believer. So much so that he went and got “Kaka” tattooed on his chest. For reals.

We can’t show you the image, because The Sun newspaper isn’t particularly generous when it comes to that sort of thing. So you’ll have to click on over there to take a look at Atkins regrettable bit of bodyart.

Atkins will probably be more embarrassed than heartbroken. Because – assuming they don’t get relegated – City will eventually sign some other big name superstar, and then Atkins can tattoo that player’s name on his body instead.

But that’s not the case for players your team has loved and lost. Remember Newcastle fan Robert Nesbit, who got a tattoo of Andy Cole – in full Toon Army kit – on his leg? Only for Cole to join Man Utd two days later? Now that’s heartbreak.

So I was wondering, which players have broken your heart by either leaving or nearly-but-not-quite- joining your club?
