Who’d have thunk it, but squirrelled away beneath those long-sleeved undershirts, Dele Alli has a little tattoo of one of Hanna Barbera’s finest.
Indeed, as revealed by this dispatch from Spurs’ post-season jaunt to Hong Kong, Alli has had the image of The Flinstone’s very own Bam Bam Rubble inked on his left forearm…

Yep, that’s Bam Bam alright.
Of course, rather than being a dyed-in-the-wool fan of everybody’s favourite modern stone age family, it’s more likely that Alli’s body art is a reference to his nickname, Bam Bam (his full first name being Bamidele).
Slightly naff, but just about dorkishly adorable enough to slip by.
