After hanging up his boots, DANIEL AGGER invested in sewers and became a tattoo artist.

The former Liverpool star has moved on from his time as a cult favorite at Anfield and has chosen to invest his money in his need and passion, which are tattoos and poop.

The Danish defender, who was managing his home team, HB Koge, in the second division, had trained as a tattoo artist and joined one of the largest tattoo parlor chains in the world, Tattoodo.

However, Agger’s forays beyond the game did not end there—he developed an affinity for sewage.

The 38-year-old international started a company named KloAgger in 2013 after investing £450,000 in a company that maintains sewage infrastructure in his home Denmark.

Thus, what inspired him to call his company KloAgger? That means “Agger toilet,” I guess.

Although Agger is frequently active with the company, the day-to-day operations are managed by their buddy Rune Ruasmussen and his younger brother Marco.

Embroidered The tattoos pique Agger’s attention more.

His first piece of work was completed when he was a 15-year-old youth player with the Danish club Brondby, where he began and concluded his career.

An interview with Agger appeared on Tattoodo’s website. “I was about 15 and on a school trip to Paris,” Agger stated.

“I hadn’t given it much thought previously. My companion and I entered the store and decided that was what we would get. I still possess it now.”

However, it has been further enhanced by the numerous tattoos that cover practically every inch of his body.

His body is adorned with Latin proverbs, a Viking graveyard across his back, love hearts on his calves, and engraved family member names.

“I consider it a single piece,” the skilled tattoo artist declared. “When I speak to people I talk about my tattoo as one piece but obviously every tattoo has a story, some better than others.”

The ‘YNWA’ tattoo on his knuckles, which is the popular Liverpool abbreviation for the song You’ll Never Walk Alone, is one of the more recent ones.

“The timing was excellent,” Agger remarked. “I knew I was staying, even though there were a lot of rumors that I was being sent to another club for a lot of money.

“Somehow I wanted to show that to the footballing world and this was a way I wanted to show it.”

Agger did, in fact, depart from Liverpool in 2014, returning to Brondby for two years until his career unexpectedly ended.

Agger relied on drugs to get through his career due to back issues, but he feels that this was a contributing factor in his demise.

He admitted to Jyllands-Posten, “I have taken too many anti-inflammatories in my career.”

“I did, in the end, stop it, even though I am fully aware of how horrible it is. Though I cannot directly benefit from expressing this, I can only hope that other athletes will.

“It’s possible that some people take one or two less pills.”

After he entered the managerial world, Agger’s love for tattooing has recently taken a backseat.

In March 2021, the Dane became leadership of First Division team HB Koge, with former West Ham star and international teammate Lars Jacobsen.

Last season, Agger led his team to an eighth-place finish.
