After putting up his boots, DANIEL AGGER invested in sewers and became a tattoo artist.
The former Liverpool star has moved on and chosen to use his money for tattoos and rubbish, his needs and interests, after being a cult favourite at Anfield.

Before joining one of the largest chains of tattoo parlours in the world, Tattoodo, the Danish defender managed his hometown team, HB Koge, in the second division.
But Agger’s exploits outside the game didn’t end there; he developed a taste for filth.
Before starting KloAgger in 2013, the 38-year-old expatriate invested £450,000 in a company that looked after Denmark’s sewage system.
What then inspired him to call his company KloAgger? That, I presume, stands for “Agger toilet.”
Daily operations are managed by their buddy Rune Ruasmussen and his younger brother Marco, though Agger is frequently involved.
Customised Agger shows a growing curiosity with the tattoos.
At the age of fifteen, he accomplished his first piece of work for the Danish team Brondby, where he began and ended his playing career.
An interview with Agger was featured on the Tattoodo website. “I was on a school trip to Paris when I was about 15 years old,” Agger said.
“I hadn’t given it much thought previously. My companion and I entered the store and made the decision to buy that. I still possess it now.
However, it’s been made even better by the numerous tattoos that cover practically every inch of his body.
His body is adorned with Latin proverbs, family member names engraved on it, love hearts on his calves, and a Viking graveyard on his back.
“I consider it to be a single piece,” the gifted tattoo artist stated. “I discuss my tattoo as a single piece when I talk to people, but obviously every tattoo has a story, some better than others.”
One of the more recent is the ‘YNWA’ tattoo on his knuckles, which is the well-known Liverpool acronym for the song You’ll Never Walk Alone.
According to Agger, “the timing was excellent.” “Even though there were a lot of rumours that I was being transferred to another club for a big sum of money, I knew I was staying.”
“This was a way I wanted to show that to the footballing world, for whatever reason.”
In actuality, Agger returned to Brondby for two years after leaving Liverpool in 2014 until his career unexpectedly ended.
Because of his back problems, Agger turned to medications to get through his career, but he believes this played a part in his demise.

“I have taken too many anti-inflammatories in my career,” he confessed to Jyllands-Posten.
“Despite my complete awareness of how terrible it is, I did, in the end, stop it. Even while sharing this won’t help me personally, I can only hope that it will help other athletes.
“It’s possible that some individuals only take one or two medications.”
Agger has recently become less interested in getting tattoos since he started working in management.
The Danish player took over as manager of First Division side HB Koge in March 2021, with international and former West Ham player Lars Jacobsen.
Agger guided his club to ninth place in the previous season.
