You wait all year for a feelgood Ajax story and then two come along at once.

After featuring yesterday for rewarding a hardy band of 15 travelling Heracles supporters with a cracking gesture, the Eredivisie giants have once again proved that they look after fans by agreeing to lay on special matchday travel for an elderly fan.

It all began when a lady named Esther put out an SOS call on Twitter looking for any Ajax fans who drive to home games from the nearby city of Leiden.

She was asking on behalf of 80-year-old supporter Willem, who could do with a lift to the stadium these days as he is too old to make the 30-mile train journey to the Amsterdam Arena.

It was at this point that the official Ajax Twitter account chimed in and announced that they would help Willem, a fan for 60 years, in his hour of need by laying on a complimentary taxi service…

How awesome is that? Very awesome, is the answer.
