Sampdoria forward Riccardo Saponara has lodged an appeal to find the “hero” who got a tattoo of his scorpion kick against Lazio.
The 99th-minute equaliser for 2-2 at the Stadio Olimpico was the latest Serie A goal ever registered since the statistics began in 2004-05.
His acrobatic gesture to flick the ball off the side of his boot mid-air while turning went viral and not just because of the dramatic circumstances.

A Sampdoria supporter got the image tattooed on his torso and Saponara spotted it on social media, sending out his own appeal on Instagram.
“Please help me to find this HERO.”
