A football fan who had been reported missing for 10 days in England turned up at a nightclub in Spain. The man, unaware he was being searched for, said, "I went to watch the World Cup. After the Ghana match, I came here for a short holiday. I lost my phone here too. I didn't know I was being looked for."
A football fan, who had been missing for a full 10 days in England and feared for his life, was found partying at a nightclub in Spain. It turned out that the man, whose family and police teams had mobilized after not hearing from him for days, had absolutely no idea he was being searched for as a missing person.
LOST HIS PHONE AND CUT OFF FROM THE WORLD
The crazy fan, who set out to watch World Cup matches and then disappeared without a trace, could not hide his shock after being found safe and sound in Spain. The man, who only learned he had been in the headlines for days when people at the club recognized him, described the experience with these words: "I was completely unaware that everyone was looking for me. I had gone to watch the World Cup. After the Ghana match, I came here to Spain for a short vacation. As soon as I arrived, I unfortunately lost my phone. Unable to communicate with anyone, I continued my vacation on my own here. I really didn't know I was being searched for."
"THE VACATION ESCAPE OF THE CENTURY"
The search efforts coordinated by British police with Spanish authorities ended happily thanks to this strange coincidence. It was learned that the fan, who couldn't realize his family was panicking because he didn't have a phone, is in good health. After the incident, dubbed "the vacation escape of the century," it was stated that the fan would set out to return to his country.
