PIC BY MIKE JONES / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: Will Hirons tattoo) - A tennis fan has been left feeling sore after Andy Murrays Wimbledon victory - after getting the grinning Scot inked on his BUM. Tennis nut Will Hirons, from Hereford, told pals that if his favourite player, Murray, managed to make history and lift the trophy, he would get a tattoo of the moment on his backside. And when Murray triumphed on Sunday, Wills mates wouldnt let him forget the bet - and marched him to the tattoo studio. SEE CATERS COPY.
