ON SATURDAY, HUDDERSFIELD Town beat Manchester United 2-1 at The John Smith’s Stadium.
A young Huddersfield fan, Adam Bhana, was in attendance. As he watched his favourite players in action on a day he’ll remember for the rest of his life, he also found a £5 note.
Afterwards, he sent the money along with a letter to the club, asking for it to be given to man-of-the-match Aaron Mooy ‘because he played very well and scored’.
Here’s the letter in full, which was addressed to Huddersfield’s Director Sean Jarvis:
“Dear Sean,
I was at the Huddersfield against Manchester United match.
I found a £5 note at the stadium and gave it to dad because we can not keep things that are not ours.
Can you please ask Mr Wagner if Aaron Mooy can keep the money because he played very well and scored yesterday.
I have put the £5 note in the envelope.
Thank you,
Adam Bhana”
Jarvis posted the letter on Twitter yesterday, with Mooy replying ‘I would love to meet you Adam’.
Adam’s dad Mo was on BBC Radio 5 today, and said that initially his son wanted to give the £5 note to the club to boost transfer funds.
“To begin with he was undecided. He wanted to maybe give it to the club for a transfer of Ronaldo from Real Madrid to Huddersfield but then he decided to give it to Mooy instead.
“When we found it he said ‘we can’t keep what’s not ours so we have to give it back’.

“We asked a couple of people behind us if it belonged to them and they said it didn’t so I looked behind us and there was a club press officer talking to someone.
“We tried to get his attention but couldn’t as he was busy in conversation, so Adam decided to write a letter instead.”
Mo continued: “We’ve heard from Mooy.
“The club are going to facilitate something for him this week hopefully. They’ve been great.
“I’m a club ambassador so I know a few people there already. It’s a great family club and set-up. The comments on social media have been heart-warming too.”
And Mooy tweeted this evening: “Looking forward to meeting young Adam on Friday”
Great news!

Great season for Irish and Leinster rugby. Leinster are in a very special place at the moment in terms of the coaches, players and backing they have. I can see a few more trophies for them in the next couple of seasons for them. Nothing left to say but congratulations.
@Dave Barry: we are a bit behind at the moment but so is everyone else. Well done Leinster
@Dave Barry: cheers Dave. Classy comment. Good man.
What a season!
@Stephan Antuma: A bittersweet day for Leinnster would probably be the best way to describe it
@eric qualen: Rochelle, nothing bitter sweet about it unless you are are a bitter Munster troll.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as you enjoyed Leinster winning a 4th European Cup.
Larmour try was worth admision money. the kick, the pickup, the try. what a season for Leinster.
@Ardmore02: felt he definitely should have been man of the match instead of Sexton.
@Sam Harms: Don’t think so! Brilliance from Larmour for his try. But Jonny Sexton. After that hit to the head, he showed his genius in his kick to touch for Cronin’s try. He pulls the strings! He drives us forward. The man is incredible! Great day though!!!!
@Sam Harms: get a grip, he picked the ball off the ground like he does everyday at training. Sexton on the other hand bossed the game. If you think one moment of magic outweighs a masterclass performance shows what you know!
@blindside: not one moment of magic he made some great tackles during the game too. Lowe was up there in man of the match territory too, he had another great game. Just what I think no need to tell me to get a grip.
@blindside: ah calm down it was a great team performamce. to be honest at half time I was jumping up and down with sextons quick pass to lowe. now that was magic. alot of great performances fro. pro14 and champions cup champions.
@blindside: Sexton was man of the match but Larmour did more than that pick up. He was great defensively and had Halfpenny and Evens shitting it whenever a high ball went up
@Sam Harms: nah I think Sexton deserved MOTM, but that LARMOUR was a try of the championship type moment.
That pick up !!!
Some achievement winning champions cup and pro in the same season. Before they only had the pro final after the European final this time they had to play the pro semi afterwards as well
So happy great day,in the Beggars pinting with Scots
@rugbyanbeer:
You were looking forward to your day. Enjoy
