'Controversial' former Newcastle striker Ranger gets tattoo of own name on face
Troubled former Newcastle striker Nile Ranger has got his own name inked onto the side of his face, as the 22-year old unveiled his new tattoo on Instagram with a powerful message.
According to the Mirror, Ranger left Newcastle as a free agent towards the end of last season and has been searching for a new club ever since.
The striker has also been involved in a host of controversial incidents including being charged for pulling his girlfriend's hair during a street row and a rape last month, the report said.
The report added that the player has quite often enraged fans on social networking sites while being pictured posing with a replica hand gun in 2011 and posting a picture on Twitter of his name spelled out in 20 pound notes.
The tattoo is not his first, as he already has a smiley face inked on the inside of his bottom lip, the report further said.
