Faraway but not forgotten by stars

25 Aug 2017 By David Watters

After making a Norwegian fan's day from afar by scoring a last minute winner in the Emirates FA Cup, Droylsden's EVO-STIK League stars have sent Rudi Lilleødegård a signed shirt!

The picture of Droylsden's Viking supporter giving the thumbs up to his signed shirt was posted by @Droylsden_FC on Twitter on Thursday night after it was dispatched by officials at the Butcher's Arms Ground following last Saturday's thrilling 4-3 win at EVO-STIK League North rivals Ossett Albion in the Preliminary Round.

Like other fans of Dave Pace's side after Alex Frost's late winner at Queens Terrace, Lilleødegård saw his English Non-League heroes drawn at home to another divisional rival in Colwyn Bay in Monday lunchtime's draw for the First Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup.
