BRITAIN’S most tattooed man has been hailed a hero after helping cops track down Premier League player Troy Deeney’s stolen £180,000 sports car.
Matthew Whelan, from Birmingham, who later changed his name to King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite, called the police to report suspicious activity at his secure residential car park.

The 37-year-old said: “Something didn’t sit right with me, hence wanting to log the incident.
“Being one of three directors of the developments residential committee I always have the best intentions for the development because we’ve had various crimes here over the past several years.”
After reporting the incident, he thought nothing more of it until he found out police removed Watford striker Deeney’s Lamborghini from the car park where it had been left.

King of Ink said: “We’re both Birmingham city fans so I am delighted that it will be returned to him.
“I just hope they catch the people that have committed crimes against someone who I have a lot of respect for, especially his rise from where he has come from to where he is now.”
It comes as Deeney – who has a tattoo of his boyhood club, Birmingham City FC on his leg – was slammed by footie fans after he bragged about his luxury birthday gift to himself.
The ex-League One’s Walsall FC posted a snap of the £180,000 supercar last summer saying: “It’s my birthday so why not treat myself I think I deserve. “Thanks everybody for the messages.”
His stolen vehicle is the latest dramatic turn in the professional footballer’s life, five years on from a ten-month prison sentence in 2012.

He was convicted for his part in a violent brawl outside the Bliss Bar in Birmingham that left three students injured.
In an interview with The Independent, he said: “Modified people are proud people, we are proud to be modified. They haven’t been forced into it, it’s something that many people will have thought long and hard about.
“It doesn’t matter what you look like, on the inside everyone is the same. We are people at the end of the day.”
