Lee Peacock believes he could be the most tattooed player in The Football League.

The Swindon striker, 31, already has 20 tattoos all over his body and plans to have four more.

Peacock's obsession with body art started when he was a trainee at Carlisle.

During spells at Mansfield, Manchester City, Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday he had added to the collection.

The next set of tattoos will cover his calves and go down on to the tops of his feet.

Peacock said: "I've think I might have more tattoos than anyone else. I certainly will have by the time I'm finished.

"I got my first when I was on the first year of my YTS and everyone said that I'd regret getting one.

"But it's all about individuality and being different.

"I wanted to have them so you couldn't see them if I was wearing a T-shirt, that was always the intention.

"Then I thought that I might as well go a bit further down my arms, so if I was wearing a shirt you could never tell.

"Then I thought I might as well go down on to my hands and now I've got them up my neck, on my thighs, my ribs, my back, my chest!"

On his fingers Peacock has the date that he met his partner Esther, her date of birth, and the date of birth of their daughter Sky in Roman numerals.

Apart from that, none of the tattoos has any particular significance and he is happy to place faith in his friend called simply Q.

Peacock added: "I have an idea and I go and see my mate Q in Stroud. I go in with an idea, he tells me I'm wrong, and then just scribbles on me!

"I book an appointment and he just doodles on my body.

"He knows what I want better than I do so I just let him get on with it."

Peacock says some of his Swindon team-mates have also caught the body-art bug.

He added: "I've taken a few of the lads at the club to my mate Q and some of them go up for tattoos.

"They all seem to say they want them so if you're wearing a T-shirt you'll never know. But they all end up coming back to the club wearing sleeves!"
