BOLTON Sunday League Second Division side Hare and Hounds felt like Manchester United when they received a request for memorabilia - from Norway.
The Stoneclough team's secretary Alex Porteus was stunned to open his mail and find a request for a blazer badge from Einar Thomassen of Bergen.
Why soccer merchandise collector Mr Thomassen wants a Hare and Hounds badge is a mystery and he is going to be slightly disappointed as the amateur village side does not have such a thing.
Mr Porteus said: "We don't exactly have a team blazer badge at the club but we are going to put together a little package of items for the gentleman.
"Hopefully he will be pleased with what we send him."
Mr Thomassen said in his letter to the club: "I have been collecting blazer badges from football association, leagues and clubs at all levels across the UK for more than 35 years and my collection looks quite impressive these days."
