MADCAP Man City ace Mario Balotelli believes he is the Jimi Hendrix of football — and plans to be a rocker when he hangs up his boots.
Our picture shows him strumming away on a custom-made guitar. The Italian maverick, 22, told pals: “I’m just like Jimi Hendrix but on a football pitch.”He piped up as he met Manchester indie rockers The Rainband with his boss Roberto Mancini.
But the gaffer said Balotelli played more like a BUSKER than Hendrix when they lost to Aston Villa last week.
