<\/p>\nDANIEL AGGER became a tattoo artist and invested in sewers after hanging up his boots.<\/p>\n
The ex-Liverpool hardman has move on from his days as an Anfield cult hero and has decided to put money into his passion and necessity: tattoos and poo.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The Danish defender, who was managing HB Koge in the second division in his homeland, trained to be a tattoo artist and became involved with one of the biggest parlours across the world, called Tattoodo.<\/p>\n
But for Agger his ventures outside the game were not done there – as he took to sewage.<\/p>\n
Now 38, the 75-cap international launched a company in 2013 called KloAgger, putting \u00a3450,000 into a business that manages sewage systems in his native Denmark.<\/p>\n
So how did he come up with the name KloAgger? Well, it translates to 'Agger toilet'.<\/p>\n
Agger is regularly involved with the firm but his younger brother Marco and their friend Rune Ruasmussen oversee the day-to-day ongoings.<\/p>\n
Inked-up Agger is more interested in the tats.<\/p>\n
He started and finished his career at Danish club Brondby, and it was as a 15-year-old youth player that he got his first work done.<\/p>\n
"I was about 15 and on a school trip to Paris," Agger said in an interview on Tattoodo's website.<\/p>\n

Me and a friend went into the shop and said that's what we're going to have and we got it. I still have it today."<\/p>\n But it's been added to dramatically, with almost every inch of his body containing a tattoo.<\/p>\n There's the Viking graveyard across his back, the love hearts on his calves, Latin proverbs all over his body and the names of his family members etched in.<\/p>\n "I see it as one piece," the qualified tattooist said. "When I speak to people I talk about my tattoo as one piece but obviously every tattoo has a story, some better than others."<\/p>\n One of the more recent is the 'YNWA' stamped onto his knuckles – the well-known Liverpool acronym for Anfield's anthem You'll Never Walk Alone.<\/p>\n "Timing was quite good," Agger said. "[There were] a lot of rumours sending me to another club for a lot of money but I knew I was staying.<\/p>\n "Somehow I wanted to show that to the footballing world and this was a way I wanted to show it."<\/p>\n Agger did eventually leave Liverpool in 2014 and spent two years back at Brondby before ending his career earlier than expected.<\/p>\n Back problems throughout his career saw Agger rely on painkillers to see him through, but he believes they were his downfall.<\/p>\n "I have taken too many anti-inflammatories in my career,\u201d\u00a0he told Jyllands-Posten.<\/p>\n "I know that full well, and it sucks, but I did stop it [in the end]. I am not gaining anything personally from saying this but I can only hope that other athletes do.<\/p>\n "It could be that others take a pill or two less.\u201d<\/p>\n Agger's passion for tattooing has somewhat been put on the back burner recently following his venture into management.<\/p>\n The Dane took charge of First Division side HB Koge in March 2021 along with former international team-mate and ex-West Ham star Lars Jacobsen.<\/p>\n Agger guided his troops to a eighth-placed finish last season.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/newspress-collage-23922705-1694531878770.jpg\")
