00:05My name's Ian Odgers, I'm 54 and I live in Deerham in Norfolk. I've been lucky enough to travel to
00:1165 countries. I've followed England home and away and have done for over a decade. I've also done
00:1738 of my 211 marathons abroad. I started getting my passport stamps about six years ago, the ones
00:25on the leg that you can see here. And then I decided last year I would start filling in the
00:33arms.
00:36I go for sessions of about two hours and generally have somewhere between six and eight
00:41passport stamps done. It's just a reminder to me of places that I've visited and places I've travelled.
00:49My wife questions every single one I have done and every time I go for a sitting she questions
00:53my sanity.
01:00A passport stamp? No. My most recent one is Qatar, the World Cup which unfortunately ended with
01:07Harry Kane's penalty which if I look up I can probably still see. That's not a very nice reminder.
01:18They're all different colours, all different shapes, all different sizes. I've always had a love for
01:22tattoos as you can see by looking at me. I think the the uniqueness of any tattoo is so personal
01:29and the fact that they my actual passport stamps they tell a story and as my wife always says that
01:34one day when I'm in a care home somebody will be able to know exactly where I've travelled throughout
01:38my life. I also have a wish that when I die that my ashes are bottled and thrown into the
01:43sea so I can
01:43continue travelling. Though the plans are in place there's five England away games this year. I've
01:48already got booked this year about 28 flights taking me to probably somewhere like 12 countries. On the
01:54horizon moving into 2024 I'm looking to be travelling to Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Patagonia. All new regions,
02:02all new places, all new passports, stamps and all new stories.
02:05So, thank you guys.
02:05So I'll see you guys.
02:07You're gonna see what you've got here.
02:08You're gonna see you guys.
02:09You're gonna see the new newspapers.
02:09You're gonna see you guys.
02:09It's awesome.
02:09You're gonna see you guys.
