Having arrived from Copenhagen in the summer, Mathias Jorgensen has obviously taken a shine to life at Huddersfield and, as such, is keen to give a little back this Christmas.
Indeed, the centre-half, who is nicknamed Zanka (a reference to ‘Cool Runnings’, apparently!), has pledged to buy every hardy fan making the long journey to Southampton on December 23rd a festive tipple as a token of his appreciation for their “amazing” support.
The 27-year-old confirmed as much in a video message posted on social media…
#ZankaClaus is coming to Town!
A drink on me for every @htafcdotcom fan going to Southampton on Saturday! Grab a token on the way in. 🎄🥤🍺🎁 #MerryXmas #UTT #HTAFC pic.twitter.com/5cZmmYjAVv

Huddersfield themselves then piped up to clarify that fans will be able to collect Zanka’s vouchers from the turnstiles at St Mary’s but they will only be able to redeem them at the Boxing Day fixture against Stoke at the John Smiths’ Stadium.
#ZankaClaus with a great gesture to #htafc fans travelling to @SouthamptonFC this weekend!
The vouchers will be redeemable at #htafc’s Boxing Day home game – not on the day at Southampton (DTS) https://t.co/6VY4FR8l2G

It’s estimated that the generous gesture is likely to cost Zanka around £8,000 of his own hard-earned money if every single one of the Terriers’ 2,596 allocation take him up on the offer.
How seasonally spiffing!
