12 things you said about NUFC fan David's charity SAFC tattoo

The tattoo was all in aid of little Bradley.

The selfless actions of a caring uncle have touched thousands of hearts across Tyne and Wear.

Earlier this week we reported that NUFC fan David Stonebank got the badge of his footballing rivals, Sunderland AFC, tattooed on his leg to help 5-year-old nephew, Bradley.

The youngster, an avid Black Cats supporter, is battling neuroblastoma - and £700,000 is needed to fund his treatment in America.

David pledged to go through with the tattoo if he received at £1,000 in sponsorship. He added: "I would do anything to raise money for our little hero."

Here's what you had to say about his new ink.
