BBC Breakfast reporter can't hide laughter as interviewee unveils unusual tattoo

A BBC Breakfast reporter struggled to hide his laughter as he interviewed a man with an unusual tattoo.

In Saturday morning's episode (November 2), Mike Bushell headed to Scarborough for a segment on the town's football team, Scarborough Athletic, and the people behind that made it tick.

During his report, he interviewed former Champions League winner, Jonathan Greening. The ex-Mancheter United and West Bromwich player now manages Scarborough Athletic, and spoke of his decision to move into non-league football, especially given his history as a ball boy at the town's old club.

"I used to go and watch the old club at the McCain stadium with my brothers and my dad... and used to be ball boy there," he shared. "Obviously it hit hard times and it's so nice to be back at this football club."

At one point, another member of the management team, Coach Jimmy Beadle, joined the interview.

"Jonny, one other thing," Mike asked the club's manager. "To be part of your management team, do you have to have a tattoo of you on your arm?".

Jonathan grinned as he said: "You do yeah, it's part of the process" as the camera panned to Coach Jimmy's lower arm, which featured the footballer's face along with the words 'Jono Greening is my mate'.

"This is Coach Jimmy who has got a tattoo, look... of Jonny," Mike said, punctuated by the laughter he failed to keep contained as Jonathan interjected: "Good looking chap there, right there."

The tattoo also featured the gates of the old Scarborough club grounds and gates, a nod to Coach Jimmy's own history with the club as he scored the last goal for the old Scarborough club at their former ground, as well as the first goal for the new club.

"I've got the tattoo of the old gates, the old stadium there on that other arm as well," Coach Jimmy detailed. "Yes, it's something I'm proud of really."

"Not bad for a fat lad having that little milestone for the club."
