Zanka drink offer to Huddersfield away fans v Southampton

Huddersfield Town defender Mathias Jorgensen – also known as ‘Zanka’ – has shown admirable festive cheer with a generous offer to the club’s travelling support.

The Danish international has offered to buy a drink for every supporter who makes the trip to Huddersfield’s away game against Southampton on December 23. 

In a message posted to his Instagram page, Jorgensen joked that ‘Zanka Claus is coming to town’.

He said:  ‘Your support this year has been truly amazing, therefore I thought I’d think up something special for those of you travelling to Southampton on Saturday. I hope you like the gift, Zanka Claus out.’

He said every Terriers supporter who wants to take advantage of the offer on Saturday should pick up a token on their way into St. Mary’s.

The deal will then be valid at the John Smith’s Stadium when Huddersfield host Stoke City on Boxing Day. 

Despite being a 472-mile round trip to the south coast two days before Christmas, Huddersfield have sold out their allocation for the Southampton visit.

In total, 2,596 Terriers supporters have bought tickets – and all are eligible for Zanka’s kind offer. 

The details of the deal were not revealed, but it is likely to cost him thousands of pounds for every fans to get a free beer or soft drink.

A pint of beer costs £3.20 at Huddersfield’s stadium – if every fan took that option, it would costs Zanka more than £8,000. 

The lengthy trip is the first game in Huddersfield’s busy Christmas schedule as they take part in their first Premier League season. 

They host Stoke on Boxing Day and Burnley four days later, before going to Leicester on New Year’s Day, then Bolton in the FA Cup third round.
