Bournemouth supporter Matt described the club's match in Prague as a "pinch me moment" as he attended the game with his son Felix, wearing a hat adorned with badges he has collected over three decades.

The Cherries fan has been adding to his collection since the 1990s, with each badge representing a memorable fixture or milestone. The European away trip provided a special backdrop for his unique tradition.

Photographs from the match show Matt and Felix together in the stands, the hat drawing attention from fellow supporters and highlighting the personal rituals that accompany football fandom.
