    Udinese beat Sampdoria 2-0 in Genoa on Monday and the picture below shows the attending away support to watch the win.

    As if that wasn't bad enough, he was only in the area on business or he wouldn't have attended.

    Must've been pretty surreal for him.

    Yes..,he was only in the area on business.
    I'm told his business meeting which had been scheduled to take place at the same time as the game was concelled.
    He couldn't get back home because they was a hour and a half delay on the trains and the bars were all closed and the local cinema was full.

    its a 600 mile round trip to Sampdoria from Udinese....so i suppose normal folk can be excused for not following their millionaire heroes.

    he was given a signed shirt by Sampa and the home crown cheered him throughout the game.

    what a legend. He should be personally invited by the chairman for the next game, and in a box with free food and booze at the very least.

    <laugh> That's crazy. They normally only get about 50 or 60 away fans too!

    Must feel quite weird celebrating by yourself when they scored! You'd be pretty screwed if the Sampdoria hooligan element were looking for trouble (if they have one, well they are Italian I'm sure they do)

    Looks like Carlos Puyol has walked into the wrong stadium, the yawn after watching only 5mins of Serie A football even surprised him.

    Why not let people in for free if its going to be that empty. That's shocking.

    I wonder how low you'd have to go in the English football tiers before you found a game attended by 1 away fan or less?

    Even at kids level you'd get a few parents turning up you'd think :D

    Braga brought 13 fans to Birmingham last year didn't they?
