Tats

Ben's love of tattoos is already well documented. You just have to see his chiselled body to see he loves ink.

And there are several that have deep meaning.

He recently added a butterfly to his torso, which surely signifies flying high in life and in his career.

It was created by A Star Tattoos - a side business ofA Star Barbers- who famously trimJack GrealishandPaul Pogba.

White's body is also covered in positive messages.

On his neck he has the word 'Shine' inscribed. Next to that, there's a small cross.

And as previously mentioned, he has matching 'I Love You' tats written on his hands, as well as his star sign - Libra, and the date 1959.

Fashion

When it comes to his clobber, White isn't afraid to experiment.

On his honeymoon in Ibiza, he and wife Milly wore matching black ensembles.

The England ace donned cravat-style blue neckwear with an open shirt andMillywore frilly see-through leggings above a bikini.

White also loves expensive leisure wear, which he once wore on England duty in 2022.

Instead of their Nike sponsored tracksuits, he went with a £650 Amiri combo instead.

A Goyard one he was once seen holding would have set him back £1300, while he's also the owner of a Louis Vuitton backpack that retails for for over £2,000.

While, jewellery is also important for Benjamin, who often wears a diamond 18K white gold plated hoop cross earring.

Silver chains are also wrapped around his neck.

Disinterest in football

Unlike many footballers, White switches off from the sport when he's away from training ground.

He admittedly doesn't watch football, which stems from his childhood.

“Sitting down and watching a 90-minute game after I’ve trained all day and had four or five meetings about football … the last thing I want to do is watch more football," White once confessed.

While in an interview on Arsenal's club website, he revealed he didn't grow up in a football family and would have followed in his father's footsteps as a gardener if he didn't make it pro.

He said: "I’d probably be working with my dad if I wasn’t a footballer. He used to be a gardener. I think that’s why there was never any pressure on me growing up, because I would have been very happy with that."

White added: "My dad has no idea about football to be honest. It’s quite funny, but it’s nice too. I’ve got the coaches here to tell me what I need to know anyway, so it’s nice not to have any added pressure or anything outside of that.

“That’s how my life is arranged. When I come into the training ground, it’s all about football – 100 per cent focus. Then when I leave, I switch off from it.

"I don’t think my dad has ever said to me ‘shall we watch a game on TV?’ He absolutely isn’t interested in that, I don’t think he’s ever watched one on TV."
