Liverpool's Iron Protector now deals with tattoos and sewers

The period after Daniel Agger's withdrawal from active football is very similar to his career as a professional player, mixing dirty work with art.

After the withdrawal, which he calls premature from active football in 2016 with only 31 years, Liverpool's former defender decided to invest in two things, in his passion and necessity: tattooed and sewers, the Koha Ditore broadcasts.

Danish defender has been trained to be a tattoo artist and is now part of one of the world's largest rooms of this art, known as “Tatodo”. But he has not only been tattooed, since he has invested money in his sewer business.

33-year-old in 2013 had founded the company “KloAgger”, in which he invested 600 thousand euros. Now, with this company, Agger manages the sewage systems in Denmark. So the name of the company “Cloagger” means “Toalet Agger”. Even though he owns this company, Agger is involved in work every day and helps other workers. But he is also devoted to tattoos. He found out that his first tattoo was on his body at the age of 15.

His soccer career began at the Bronx in 2004, and from 2006 to 2014, Liverpool played. After that, he's been back for two more years at Brondby before he's pulled out of active football. There are 75 matches and 12 goals scored with Denmark.

We went to Paris on a school trip and my love for tattoos started. I did it first in Paris, which I still have on my body”, Agger explains.

After the first tattoo, Agger almost covered every inch of his body with these works. Along his back, there are graveyards of Vikings, then hearts, Latin proverbs, and the names of his family members in other parts of the body.
