American influencer's 'Leeds United tattoo' after he's 'adopted' by local fan

Plans for trip to Leeds Indian restaurant and for a Leeds United tattoo

An American fitness influencer looks set to get himself a Leeds United tattoo after meeting a lifelong fan.

Richie Lovelace - AKA Daddy Wellness - arrived in Leeds but forgot to book a hotel and ended up being adopted by a local family after he requested a "die-hard" Leeds fan to put him up. Lovelace updated his 2.1m followers on Instagram about his plans to get a Leeds United tattoo with his host, "Andy the goat", a season ticket holder at Leeds.

After establishing that Andy has been in Leeds "forever" - 41 years - Lovelace reveals their plans to get tattoos. "We are about to get a tattoo together. I told this guy I'm going to get a Leeds tattoo and Andy's like 'I will get one too'. You've been a season ticket holder for 33 years."

Lovelace then reveals that they were heading to a "Yorkshire curry" as well as a Leeds United tattoo.

Fellow Leeds fans backed Andy and his new mate. One said: "Amazing stuff Andy." Another added: "You are in good hands sir. God's own country."
