Cardiff City.com users will be very familiar with John Heyda in Ohio, a Cardiff City statistician extraordinaire who fell in love with The Bluebirds for overseas despite no connections.
His information and research is painstaking and astounding.
I met John a few years ago when he was in Wales at a time the national team played but last weekend he was back to witness Ninian Park's last ever league game. Last Saturday night, he met fellow American Eddie Johnson whom he presented with CardiffCity.comn's Magic Moment Award - the two struck up a frinedship and swapped e-mail addresses.
Met John in The Romilly pub and tonight he was featured in various media including this Wales Online clip.
The game was pants but I'm sure John won't ever forget his visit.
