James Maddison revealed that he never desires to meet Daniel Radcliffe, the superstar protagonist of the Harry Potter movie franchise. This is because the 27-year-old considers the English actor his hero and does not want reality to hurt that.
The midfielder got himself a tattoo to commemorate Leicester’s FA Cup win
The 27-year-old’s former team clinched a historic FA Cup win in the 2020/21 season. The team beat the mighty Chelsea to clinch the maiden FA Cup in the club’s history. It was a tight game that saw end-to-end attacks yet nobody could score a goal. However, Leicester’s Belgian midfielder Youri Tieleman’s long-range effort beat Chelsea’s goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to find the back of the net.
The Belgian’s wonder strike was enough to secure the title for Leicester. James Maddison, who was then a player for ‘The Foxes’ felt so euphoric after the win that he got himself a tattoo for that. The arm tattoo consists of a young ‘Madders’ with a soccer ball in his hand beside the FA Cup. His tattoo read, “Dreams really do come true”.

James Maddison fulfilled his dream of winning one of the world’s most coveted and oldest cup competitions, the FA Cup. The celebrity tattoo artist Dale McGovern helped ‘Madders’ with the tattoo, who has also inked stars like Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard.
‘Madders’ has many inspiring quotes on his neck and chest
Motivation is key for a Premier League player. The fast-paced nature of the game and the criticisms that the players receive on social media can potentially ruin the players’ confidence. James Maddison has tried to tackle this issue by inking some motivational tattoos on his body. For example, one of his neck tattoos reads, “Believe in yourself when nobody else will.”
The inspiring quote helps the Englishman to stay focused and never lose trust in himself. Another chest tattoo of his talks about the importance of enjoying the little moments in life, “Enjoy the little things in life because one day you may look back and realise that they were the big things.” James Maddison who is a father of a boy, definitely knows the value of living and enjoying the present.
Arguably, the greatest of his many wonderful tattoos is located on the back of his neck. The tattoo reads, ” Impossible is a word used by some people who fear to dream big.” The Tottenham Hotspur player has always taught himself to dream big and work hard to make his close ones proud.
