Revealed The touching meaning behind Chelsea star’s tattoo


Seeing footballers arms covered in tattoos is hardly a rare sight and many have become famous for all the wrong reasons - ahem, Jay Bothroyd.
But for Chelsea star Oscar, a tattoo represented a means of remembering someone very dear to him, as he revealed in an interview with The Times.
The Brazilian playmaker has regularly been seen kissing his arm or pointing to the skies after scoring a goal or celebrating a victory and now the reason is more clear.

"It is the words to that song, but in Portuguese," he told the newspaper. "Every Breath You Take. It is for my father."
Oscar was only three-years-old when his father, Oscar dos Santos Sr, was tragically killed in a car crash.


His subtle tattoo serves as a reminder to the player of the father he never really knew, but who remains his inspiration.
"Every player wants to have their dad around them," Oscar added in the interview with the newspaper.
"You want to know your dad is watching your games, following your progress, even if it’s from afar.
"Football is something you share with your father, and that is something I do not have. I see other players who can do that with their dads and it still affects me, every day."
Footballers are often derided for having their bodies plastered with clichéd inked markings, but for Oscar he has found a way of remembering his cherished late father.
