You'd be furious, wouldn't you.

England fan Ian Perry eventually sat down and enjoyed Harry Kane's dramatic last minute winner against Tunisia from the Volgograd Arena, but it could have been very different if an observant steward didn't act.

Perry travelled 10,000 miles and spent £170 on a ticket, according to The Mirror, but when he arrived at the 45,000 capacity stadium, he was in a state of disbelief when he was welcomed by a truly outrageous view of the game.

Despite purchasing a 'Category One' ticket to watch the Three Lions' first match of the World Cup, the superfan was plonked right in front of a camera.

Imagine travelling from New Zealand to Russia, for this view of the game.

Luckily, a steward intervened and found him a different seat. In an interview with The Mirror, Perry said he couldn't believe it when he arrived at the Volgograd.

"I couldn't believe it. It was a Category One ticket as well." he said.

"To be fair once the stewards saw the problem I was given another ticket on the other side of the stadium,"

Kane went on to score in the final embers of the game and Perry almost certainly enjoyed his experience, so everybody's winner, really.


WHAT A MOMENT!
