A True Football Fan


A footie fan was stunned to find he was his Italian premier league team’s ONLY supporter at an away match. Arrigo Brovedani said he didn’t expect many Udinese fans to make the near 250-mile trip to Sampdoria’s 36,000 stadium to watch them on a cold December night. But Udinese captain Antonio Di Natale appreciated his backing — and jokingly asked the loyal fan on to the pitch to warm up with the Serie A side. Throughout the match, Brovedani didn't let the fact he was the only person in the 4,134-seater away section get him down, bellowing: “Come on Udinese!”
He was also given a shirt by Sampdoria, hot coffee from the stewards — then invited for a drink with the home fans afterwards. And after winning 2-0 Udinese dedicated their victory to him — and invited him to their next match on Saturday. The wine merchant said: "I went there thinking I'd find five or six other people. "I went into the stadium while they were warming up. I shouted and said 'Hi' to the team. "When I went in the local fans booed me, I felt a bit offended. "But in the end they clapped and invited me for coffee and a meal, and the club managers gave me a shirt. They wished me a merry Christmas."
