Ipswich Town defender Tyrone Mings set aside two tickets for a "skint" football fan on Twitter.
The 19-year-old was wished good luck by the social network user, who claimed that he couldn't afford to attend Saturday's 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers.
After finding out that the fan could make his way to Portman Road, Mings informed him that he had two tickets set aside for the game.
The teenager was an unused substitute for the match.
