A Newcastle fan has gone to extreme lengths to get a permanent memory of the club’s Carabao Cup triumph over Liverpool.
Newcastle beat the Reds 2-1 at Wembley last month, with Dan Burn and Alexander Isak scoring the goals to end the Magpies’ 70-year wait for a domestic trophy.
Burn’s bullet header on the stroke of half time set Newcastle on their way, and one fan has decided he never wants to forget it.
A video posted by Brian Levitt from Lev-ink Tattoo shop shows the fan has got a QR code tattoo on his calf. Once the code is scanned by a phone, it takes the user to a clip of Burn wildly celebrating his goal with his Newcastle team-mates.
Underneath the code is the message ‘It’s the boy from Blyth’ – a reference to Burn’s hometown which is just a short journey away from St James’ Park.
However, rival fans haven’t been particularly impressed by the memento, and have found a way to ruin it.

One supporter wrote on X: ‘Everyone mass report the video and get it taken down so the QR code doesn’t work.’
The brutal comment got over 17,000 likes, suggesting fans are on board to scupper the Newcastle fan’s bizarre idea by getting the YouTube video removed.
