Naples has a new hero — and now, one dedicated Napoli fan is wearing his devotion on his skin.
Just hours after Scott McTominay’s stunning volley against Cagliari secured Napoli’s Serie A title, a supporter went straight to a tattoo studio and had the iconic moment etched permanently on his body. The beautifully detailed tattoo captures the exact second of McTominay’s leaping strike, a moment that turned the tide in the Partenopei’s title chase.
With Inter ahead in Como and Napoli locked in a tense 0-0 at home, the Scottish midfielder’s goal reignited hope and sparked jubilation at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, pushing Napoli back to the summit of Italian football. The image of McTominay mid-air, sealing glory, has quickly become a symbol of the season — and now, a piece of body art that will live on long after the final whistle.
The player has won over fans both for his impact on the pitch and his passion for the club. In fact, he’s earned a uniquely Neapolitan nickname: “McFratm”, a fusion of his name with fratm, a local dialect term for brother — echoing the city’s affection for another adopted legend, Diego Maradona.
With his Scudetto-winning strike, McTominay has achieved folk-hero status in Naples, with rumors already circulating that a wave of newborns might soon be named Scott, much like the Diegos who filled the city in the Maradona era.
As one fan now carries McTominay’s unforgettable moment on his skin, it’s clear this is more than a goal — it’s a legacy.
